Recruiter, Talent Manager

About the Role

Vaco has partnered with a client in Carmel, IN to hire a hands-on, high-volume Recruiter to support hiring across a rapidly growing, multi-location organization.

This is a highly operational recruiting role best suited for someone who thrives in fast-paced, entry-level environments, enjoys managing a large requisition load, and knows how to partner effectively with hiring managers who are often not desk-based. While some professional and corporate recruiting will be required, entry-level and hourly recruiting is the core focus of this position.

This role is onsite-preferred in Carmel, IN (minimum four days per week) and is not eligible for fully remote work.

• High-Volume, Multi-Location Recruiting: Manage full-cycle recruiting for a high volume of entry-level and non-exempt roles across multiple states.
• Support for locations: Support recruiting needs for 54 locations, with occasional support for corporate and professional roles (Accounting, Finance, Sales, HR, FP&A).

• Candidate Flow & Hiring Execution: Post, manage, refresh, and clean up job postings across multiple locations, many of which are continuously open.
• Candidate screening: Actively review applicant flow, prescreen candidates, and push qualified candidates forward quickly to local HR partners and General Managers.
• End-to-end process: Manage the recruiting process end-to-end: intake, posting, screening, interview coordination, offers, and onboarding support.

• Hiring Manager & HR Partnership: Partner closely with HR and local leadership to clarify hiring needs by location, ensure roles are advertised appropriately for each market, and keep candidates moving through the process in a timely manner.
• Guidance to managers: Guide and support hiring managers through the recruiting process, particularly in operational and field-based environments.

• Sourcing & Recruiting Strategies: Leverage a mix of recruiting channels based on role and location, including Indeed, Linked In Recruiter, and Grassroots recruiting methods such as flyers, walk-ins, schools, and community boards for remote or rural markets.
• Pipeline management: Maintain pipelines for commonly filled roles and anticipate future hiring needs.

• Systems & Process Management: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in the ATS to ensure visibility, compliance, and smooth handoffs to HR and onboarding teams.
• Onboarding coordination: Assist with onboarding coordination as needed.

Required Experience:

• Proven experience in high-volume recruiting environments, ideally within automotive, dealerships, or auctions; manufacturing or industrial operations; logistics/transportation; call centers; or staffing agencies focused on non-IT, non-healthcare roles.
• Experience recruiting across multiple locations and states.
• Comfortable balancing repetitive, entry-level recruiting work daily, along with occasional professional or corporate searches as needed.

Core Competencies:

• Highly organized and able to self-manage a large requisition load.
• Proactive, energetic, and service-oriented with a strong sense of urgency.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, especially with field-based leaders.
• Ability to assess candidates beyond resumes, focusing on reliability, work ethic, and fit.
