  • Balance: We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance. At HODGE, you can count on having holidays off (while still getting paid for them), allowing you to spend quality time with your family and friends.
  • Great Benefits: We value our employees' well-being and offer a comprehensive benefits package. Enjoy paid time off, 401k, medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, an employee assistance program, wellness program, and much more!
  • Competitive Pay: We offer competitive wages. Your hard work will be recognized and rewarded!
  • Safety First: At HODGE, we prioritize safety above all else. Your well-being is our top priority. We protect our work family by maintaining safety policies, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proactive hazard identification.
  • Ambition: We're a team of ambitious individuals who are dedicated to achieving great things together. We embrace the "Whatever It Takes" mindset, ensuring that we go the extra mile to deliver exceptional results.
  • Friendly Work Environment: Join a team that feels like family! You'll be supported by colleagues who genuinely care about your success and well-being.
What You'll Do
  • Deliver an Exceptional Candidate Experience: Own the end‑to‑end candidate journey from first contact to onboarding, ensuring communication is timely, clear, and human at every step. Create excitement around our roles and operations while setting realistic expectations. Identify pain points in the hiring process and proactively recommend improvements. Act as a candidate advocate, ensuring fairness, consistency, and a respectful experience regardless of outcome. 
  • Drive High-Volume, Multi-Operation Hiring: Manage multiple requisitions across different operations, roles, and hiring managers simultaneously. Prioritize effectively in a fast‑moving environment while maintaining accuracy and compliance. Leverage multiple sourcing channels (job boards, referrals, pipelines, direct outreach, and events) to keep hiring moving. Anticipate spikes in volume and proactively prepare pipelines to meet business demand. 
  • Partner with Hiring Managers as a Trusted Advisor: Serve as a thought partner to hiring managers, guiding them on talent availability, market conditions, and hiring strategies. Lead intake conversations that uncover root problems, not just open requisitions. Challenge assumptions constructively and propose solution‑driven approaches when hiring goals are at risk. 
  • Build Future‑Focused Talent Pipelines: Develop and maintain proactive pipelines for recurring and hard‑to‑fill roles. Represent the organization at job fairs, hiring events, community partnerships, and networking opportunities. Build long‑term relationships with candidates, schools, community organizations, and referral sources. Maintain warm engagement with silver‑medalist candidates for future needs. 
  • Travel, Events & Flexibility: Travel to hiring locations, job fairs, and recruiting events as needed to support operations. Participate in early‑morning, evening, and occasional weekend events to meet candidates where they are. Flex schedule as needed to support high‑volume hiring cycles and operational priorities. 
  • Ensure Fairness, Consistency & Detail Excellence: Apply structured, consistent hiring practices aligned with company standards and legal requirements. Ensure documentation, workflows, and system data are accurate and audit‑ready. Partner with HR and operations to uphold equitable hiring decisions. Treat details as non‑negotiable because consistency builds trust. 
  • Safety: Ensure a safe working environment by upholding safety protocols and promoting a safety-first culture among all employees.  
  • Demonstrate HODGE Values: Model HODGE core values of Family, Integrity, Ambition, Respect, and Balance. Uphold, support, and promote all company policies and procedures. Demonstrate that success comes from treating people like family.  
  • Additional Duties: Perform tasks assigned to support dynamic changes in business conditions. 
 
Qualifications: To perform this job successfully, the Recruiting Specialist must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The following requirements are representative of the minimum knowledge, skill, and ability required. 

Education/Experience: 

  • Experience supporting high‑volume recruiting and/or hiring activities, preferably in operations, logistics, manufacturing, or other fast‑paced environments. 
  • Ability to manage multiple requisitions and hiring priorities while maintaining quality, consistency, and follow‑through. 
  • Proven success partnering with hiring managers and HR stakeholders to address hiring needs and recommend effective solutions. 
  • Willingness and ability to travel locally or regionally and participate in job fairs, hiring events, and networking activities outside of standard business hours, including early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends. 
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to listen actively, communicate clearly, and build effective working relationships with candidates and hiring partners. 
  • Working knowledge of fair and consistent hiring practices, structured interview approaches, and confidentiality requirements. 
  • Sound judgment in evaluating candidate qualifications and alignment with role and workplace expectations. 
  • Commitment to supporting a safety‑first, people‑centered workplace. 
  • High attention to detail and proficiency using ATS, recruiting systems, and Microsoft Office tools. 
  • High School Diploma or GED required, college coursework or degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field preferred.
