What You'll Do Full-Cycle Recruitment Own recruitment for every role across retail, cultivation, manufacturing, and corporate, from first contact through offer acceptance. Partner with hiring managers on role definition, candidate calibration, and realistic expectation setting. Build and maintain active pipelines for the company's highest-volume and highest-turnover roles ahead of need, and support executive searches with panel coordination and interview guides. Hiring Process & Applicant Tracking Own the application and resume screen against a structured minimum-qualification checklist. Coordinate panel interview scheduling across a rotating cross-functional interview panel. Prepare and extend offers within approved bands, and manage stage-appropriate candidate communication. Administer the applicant tracking system end to end: configuration, scorecards, interview guides, and reporting. Onboarding & Orientation Deliver the weekly new hire orientation session at the corporate office, for every role and every brand. Own onboarding administration — offer letters, background screening, I-9 compliance, and new hire documentation. Administer Missouri agent identification applications and renewals, and ensure first-day readiness alongside hiring managers. Sourcing & Channel Development Launch and operate a leadership ambassador referral channel, from card distribution through candidate screening and attribution tracking.

Extend outreach to workforce boards, veteran employment services, and trade and interest-based associations across the region. Administer the employee referral program, including eligibility verification and payout coordination. Measurement & Reporting Configure and enforce source tagging in the applicant tracking system before any channel goes live.
