Recruitment Specialist

Lethbridge, Canada In person Full-time

The job You'll find, screen and hire Team Members for roles across the company — from the production floor to the office to leadership. You'll own each hire from the day a hiring manager asks for help until the new Team Member's first day, then hand them off to their TMEX partner. This isn't a post-and-pray job. The best people usually already have jobs. You'll go get them. What success looks like in your first year Planning: Work with the plant's Team Member Experience (TMEX) Partner to define what great looks like for each role before it's posted Sourcing: Write postings that attract top talent, and go find the people who aren't looking - job boards, social media, referrals, schools and trade programs, and old-fashioned phone calls First screening: Review every application and run our video interviews, so only the strongest candidates move forward Interviewing: Run our structured interviews and skills exercises alongside TMEX partners, the same way every time — even when the floor needs someone yesterday Reference checks: Call past managers and get the real story before anyone gets an offer Pipeline: Keep a bench of pre-screened candidates ready for our highest-volume roles, so we're never starting from zero You'll know it's working when the people you hire are still here, and performing, a year later.

Beyond recruiting You'll be part of our Team Member Experience (TMEX) team, which covers HR, Health & Safety and Learning. When the team needs a hand - an investigation, a safety initiative, an HR project - you'll pitch in. Some HR or H&S background is a bonus, not a must. Where this role can take you You'll learn to run Topgrading, one of the most proven hiring methods out there, from start to finish You'll see HR, Health & Safety and Learning up close, not just recruiting You'll help build how a 600-person company hires, not just follow someone else's process You're probably a fit if you Have drive.

You set high goals for yourself and find a way to hit them Want to learn and grow, and you go after it without waiting to be taught Aren’t afraid to get the job done, whether that means the fifth follow-up call or a shift on the shop floor Can pick up the phone and talk to anyone, including people who aren’t looking for a new job Have good instincts about people, and you’re curious about what makes someone great at their job Can hold a high standard under pressure, respectfully and with a better option Keep yourself organized without anyone chasing you Recruiting or HR experience is a big plus, but it isn’t a must.

We can teach you the process. We can’t teach drive. If you’ve pushed yourself to succeed anywhere - school, sports, sales, the trades, a side hustle - tell us about it.
