• Receive competitive compensation, quarterly and annual bonus potential, comprehensive benefits, 401(k) with company match, PTO, paid holidays, and paid volunteer time.

• Own full-cycle recruiting for assigned exempt and non-exempt roles across EST
  03 and its subsidiaries, moving qualified candidates from intake through accepted offer with urgency.
• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, ideal candidate profiles, hiring priorities, and effective recruiting strategies.
• Conduct thorough candidate screens, evaluate experience, motivation, communication, performance history, and values alignment, and provide clear recommendations to hiring managers.
• Maintain consistent communication with candidates and hiring teams while driving timely feedback, decisions, and next steps.
• Quickly identify recruiting challenges, recommend practical solutions, and balance hiring speed with candidate quality and long-term fit.

• Proactively hunt for active and passive candidates through Linked In, Indeed, job boards, referrals, networking, direct outreach, and other creative sourcing channels.
• Build and maintain strong pipelines for recurring, high-priority, and difficult-to-fill roles, particularly within sales, operations, administrative, leadership, and early-career functions.
• Track sourcing effectiveness and pipeline health, adjusting outreach strategies when results are not meeting hiring needs.
• Manage ATS workflows, job postings, candidate records, recruiting metrics, and reporting with accuracy and consistency.
• Take ownership of improving recruiting processes, interview tools, job descriptions, sourcing practices, and the overall candidate and hiring-manager experience.

• Proven success managing multiple searches, proactively sourcing candidates, and building qualified pipelines in a fast-paced environment.
