About the Role
Walker-Miller Energy Services is seeking a hands-on TA Manager to own the full talent acquisition function for the organization. This is a true working manager role, you'll personally manage a mix of requisitions, primarily Director-level and above, while also leading and developing a small recruiting team. You'll play a critical role in building out the organization's hiring capabilities during an exciting period of growth.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for a mix of roles ranging from Program Coordinator to VP-level, including specialized energy efficiency positions

• Lead and mentor a team of two TA Partners

• Personally manage an active req load (5-10 open positions at a time) while overseeing the broader TA function

• Build and refine recruiting processes, driving improvements to time-to-fill and overall recruiting operations

• Own scheduling, coordination, and full end-to-end candidate management (no dedicated coordinator support currently)

• Partner cross-functionally with stakeholders across the organization

• Build diverse, high-quality candidate pipelines

• Bring some executive search-style sourcing and engagement to senior-level searches

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience owning full-cycle recruiting independently, not solely relying on recruiting coordinator or operations support

• A strong sense of urgency and ability to move quickly in a fast-paced environment

• Experience filling niche or specialized roles requiring active sourcing

• Data-driven approach to recruiting and process optimization

• Comfort managing a team while remaining hands-on with your own requisitions

• Experience building diverse candidate pipelines

• Nice-to-have: workforce planning or Learning & Development experience

• Industry background is flexible; healthcare recruiting experience is not a fit for this role
