Employee Experience & Talent Acquisition Lead

About the Role

Join us onsite in Jasper, Indiana as our Employee Experience & Talent Acquisition Lead. You’ll be the connective tissue across recruiting, onboarding, engagement, employee relations, and people operations—elevating everyday moments into a standout workplace experience.

A Day in the Life

Your morning might start by syncing with hiring managers to refine role profiles and move candidates through interviews. Before lunch, you’re coordinating background checks and employment verifications, then preparing a welcoming orientation for new team members. In the afternoon, you review weekly payroll for accuracy (and jump in as a backup processor when needed), meet with Operations on safety reviews and incident follow-ups, and close the day by responding to employee questions and coaching managers through performance conversations.

• Own full-cycle recruiting across U.S. roles, partnering closely with hiring leaders to source, assess, and secure top talent.
• Coordinate background checks and employment verifications to support compliant, timely hiring decisions.
