About the Role
We are looking for a high-energy, high-output Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting across our growing café footprint. This role is critical as we scale from ~14 locations to 20+ over the next 12–18 months.

This is not a sit-back recruiting role. This is high-volume, fast-paced hiring where speed, organization, and communication matter. You will be responsible for building strong pipelines, moving candidates quickly, and ensuring our café leaders are supported every step of the way.

If you thrive in an environment where you are hiring multiple roles at once, every week, this role is for you.

Post roles, source candidates, screen applicants, and manage interview scheduling
Guide hiring managers through structured, consistent interview processes

High-Volume Hiring Execution
Manage high requisition volume across multiple locations simultaneously
Maintain active pipelines for baristas, shift leads, assistant managers, and managers
Drive fast time-to-fill targets (goal: ~15 days for hourly roles)
Keep candidates moving—no bottlenecks, no lag

Candidate Experience
Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates
Ensure timely communication, feedback, and a smooth interview process
Represent the company brand in a professional, engaging way

Process & Systems
Own and maintain ATS accuracy (candidate stages, notes, feedback)
Ensure hiring data is clean, trackable, and reportable
Continuously improve recruiting workflows and efficiency
What Success Looks Like
Roles are filled quickly and consistently across all markets
Hiring managers feel supported and not overwhelmed by recruiting
Strong candidate pipelines exist before roles become urgent
Clean, organized ATS with full visibility into hiring progress
Improved retention through better hiring quality and fit

What We’re Looking For
Experience
2–5+ years of recruiting experience (high-volume preferred)
Experience hiring hourly or multi-location roles (retail, hospitality, food & beverage strongly preferred)
Proven ability to manage multiple roles and priorities at once

Skills
Strong organization and follow-through
Ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality
Clear, confident communication with both candidates and hiring managers
Data-driven mindset (pipeline tracking, time-to-fill, etc.)

Mindset
You like being busy and productive
You take ownership—this is your pipeline to run
You don’t wait for direction; you anticipate needs
You are comfortable in a fast-growing, evolving environment

Compensation & Benefits
Performance incentives tied to hiring outcomes (optional if you include bonuses)
Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), etc.

Why This Role Matters

This role directly impacts our ability to grow. The faster and better we hire, the stronger our cafés perform. You will play a key role in building the teams that drive our business forward.
