Job Summary

The Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist leads full-cycle recruiting across East West + Vexos' multi-site manufacturing network, delivering professional, technical, and operations talent that supports growth, operational performance, and on-time customer delivery. This role brings structure to how we hire, building consistent processes, clear workflows, and reliable metrics, and partners with hiring managers and site leaders who do not report to it to drive timely decisions and accountability.

• Create and maintain structure in the hiring process, including standardized workflows, interview guides, scorecards, offer approvals, and service-level expectations for recruiters and hiring managers.

• Develop targeted sourcing strategies using job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, schools, workforce partners, and direct outreach to build diverse, high-quality pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill roles.
• Screen and assess candidates for skills, experience, and alignment with company values, and present concise candidate summaries and hiring recommendations.
• Manage the recruiting budget by planning and tracking spend on job boards, agencies, and events, and report variances and cost-per-hire to HR leadership.

• Strengthen the employer brand with HR and Marketing through career events, social media, and school and community partnerships, and manage agency and vendor relationships.
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and company policy, and continuously improve recruiting processes, tools, and hiring manager training.
