About the Role
We are seeking a proactive, results-driven Talent Acquisition Specialist to own our end-to-end recruitment process across all technical, trade, frontline, and professional salaried roles.
Responsibilities
- Manage the complete talent acquisition lifecycle from intake calls and job posting to candidate sourcing, screening, interviews, offer creation, and preboarding.
- Actively headhunt and source passive talent through LinkedIn, industry networks, trade schools, job fairs, job boards, and cold outreach.
- Successfully attract, engage, and recruit frontline workers, skilled trades, semi-skilled operators, and remote professional staff, focusing on Ontario while supporting all other Canadian provinces and US operations as needed.
- Execute and balance multiple high-volume recruitment campaigns concurrently while meeting aggressive time-to-fill targets.
- Embed yourself in business operations to intimately learn trade, technical, and professional roles to refine attraction strategies and selection criteria.
- Manage hiring manager availability and schedules to ensure swift interview turnarounds and an efficient, candidate-centric recruitment process.
- Develop and deliver interviewing skills training for hiring managers, providing structured interview guides and compliance guidance.
- Conduct preliminary phone screening and interviews to assess skill alignment, cultural fit, and safety orientation.
- Coordinate and perform comprehensive reference checks, criminal record checks, and role-specific pre-employment testing.
- Draft, issue, and manage offers of employment and coordinating preboarding tasks.
- Participate in and deliver the company orientation program to ensure smooth employee integration and initial compliance training.
- Manage external third-party agencies, recruiters, and job board vendors when external recruitment support is deemed necessary.
- Evaluate vendor performance, negotiate rates alongside HR leadership, and ensure agency partners strictly align with company standards and budgets.
- Serve as the subject matter expert for Dayforce ATS, keeping requisition statuses updated, tracking metrics, and ensuring applicant data integrity.
- Assist with broader HR initiatives and gain exposure to HR functions outside of talent attraction (e.g., employee relations, retention strategies, HR projects, and compliance).
Requirements
- Minimum of 4+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience managing a mix of industrial/skilled trades (frontline, semi-skilled, skilled fabrication) and corporate salaried/professional roles.
- Proven success running concurrent high-volume recruitment campaigns across multiple geographic regions and remote talent pools.
- Ontario-focused background with experience supporting multi-jurisdictional recruitment across Canada and the US.
- Previous experience recruiting within manufacturing, metal fabrication, heavy industry, production, or construction environments is strongly preferred.
- Hands-on experience using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), specifically Dayforce (Ceridian).
- Proficient with LinkedIn, job boards, and modern recruiting technologies.
- Demonstrated track record as a candidate hunter with strong direct-sourcing capability, alongside experience managing external recruitment vendors/agencies.
- Experience facilitating or building onboarding and orientation programs.
- Located onsite in either Grimsby, ON or Etobicoke, ON with a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle for local travel across the GTA and Niagara region.
- Exceptional interpersonal, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills to partner effectively with shop-floor supervisors up to executive leadership.
