As Recruiter, you will be responsible for full-cycle recruiting -- initial interview through background and drug checks, hiring and onboarding -- primarily to fill a continuous demand for Field Security Officers.

You’ll schedule and track sourcing and interviewing activities through our Applicant Tracking System, and ensure the appropriate records are kept to meet compliance with state and federal laws, including OFCCP compliance, as well as union requirements, where applicable. Through all of this, you’ll ensure your supervisors remain informed of the hiring situation, and that you have a good understanding of need so you can stay on top of the hiring process and meet recruitment and hiring targets. Quick question for you - click here
