What You'll Do

Own the Recruiting Process

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for open roles across the company from posting the job to extending the offer.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand what they need and set realistic expectations on timelines and candidate availability.
• Write clear, compelling job postings that attract the right candidates and reflect our culture.
• Screen resumes, conduct phone interviews, and move the right people through the process efficiently.
• Keep candidates informed and engaged throughout - a great candidate experience matters to us.

Source & Build Pipelines

• Proactively source candidates for hard-to-fill roles using LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and industry-specific channels.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates for roles we hire frequently, such as property managers and leasing agents.
• Develop relationships with local colleges, trade programs, and community organizations to expand our talent pool.
• Stay current on where property management talent is and how to reach them.

Support HR & Onboarding

• Coordinate interview scheduling, background checks, and offer letters to keep the process moving without delays.
• Hand off new hires to the HR team smoothly so the onboarding experience starts on the right foot.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and requisition updates in our ATS.
• Assist with HR projects and initiatives as the team grows and needs evolve.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years of recruiting experience, ideally within property management or real estate.
• Familiarity with the roles and skill sets common in property management - property managers, leasing agents, maintenance technicians, HOA managers, and similar positions.
• Experience managing multiple open requisitions at the same time without dropping the ball.
• Comfortable sourcing candidates proactively, not just waiting for applications to come in.
• Strong communicator - responsive, clear, and easy to work with for both candidates and hiring managers.
• Hands-on experience with an ATS is required - you will be managing candidates and requisitions in our system from day one.
• A positive, people-first attitude - you understand that every candidate interaction reflects on our company.
• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, or similar sourcing tools.
• Bilingual in Spanish is a plus given the markets we serve.
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, or a related field preferred.
