Recruiter, Recruiter ​/ Talent Acquisition

Grow with Welch's!

Welch's is on a journey towards our bold ambition of being the global-leader of convenient, good for you fruit-based food and beverages. To turn this goal into a reality we need you and other exceptionally talented, agile, and innovative individuals who are eager to contribute to something extraordinary!

At Welch's, we're not just offering a job; we're inviting you to be a part of a vibrant, authentic, and inclusive culture where you not only belong, but also have the opportunity to unleash the best, most authentic version of you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a creative, resourceful Talent Acquisition Specialist who is excited to help Welch’s find exceptional talent.

You’ll support recruiting across Welch’s, with a particular focus on hourly hiring programs across our manufacturing plants, manager and supervisor-level plant positions, and select corporate roles.

This is not a transactional recruiting role. We want someone who thinks creatively about where talent comes from, builds pipelines before positions open, understands what great talent looks like, and cares deeply about the candidate experience.

Ultimately, you’ll help us build Welch’s into the best place you’ve ever worked by hiring people who will make us better.

What You’ll Do:

• Source and engage high-quality candidates for corporate positions and manufacturing leadership roles, including supervisors and managers.

• Build passive candidate pools to help us become more proactive rather than reactive when difficult-to-fill positions become available.

• Develop creative sourcing strategies using Linked In, social media, community partnerships, referrals, industry networks, events, and new channels we haven’t tried yet.

• Research talent markets and identify new ways to reach candidates with the skills and mindset Welch’s needs.

• Develop relationships with prospective candidates before we have an immediate opening.

• Maintain a high bar for candidate quality while balancing speed, responsiveness, and business needs.

• Support and help manage hourly recruiting programs across Welch’s manufacturing locations.

• Partner closely with plant teams to understand hiring needs, talent availability, workforce plans, and local labor market challenges.

• Develop consistent and scalable hourly recruiting processes that can be effectively executed across locations.

• Bring fresh ideas for community outreach, recruiting events, referral programs, workforce organizations, and local talent partnerships.

• Track hourly recruiting activity and outcomes to identify what is working, where candidates are dropping out of the process, and where improvements are needed.

• Help plant teams create an efficient and engaging experience from application through interview and offer.

• Make every candidate interaction feel personal, responsive, and distinctly Welch’s.

• Serve as an ambassador for our culture, our brands, our farmer-owners, and our aspiration to be the best place someone has ever worked.

• Communicate clearly and consistently with candidates throughout the recruiting process.

• Look for ways to make recruiting easier, more engaging, and more human.

• Ensure candidates understand the opportunity, the work environment, and what they can expect throughout the hiring process.

• Become a power user of our recruiting systems and tools.

• Use our ATS, sourcing platforms, AI tools, analytics, and emerging recruiting technology to work smarter and improve results.

• Maintain accurate recruiting data and use it to identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities.

• Experiment with new tools and technologies that can improve sourcing, candidate engagement,…
