Job description

Benefits:
  • 401(k)
  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance

Role Objectives:  Responsible for full-cycle recruiting for all role types, from niche maritime sales and leadership roles to high-volume entry level operational roles while simultaneously developing and executing targeted sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill maritime sales professionals, quickly learning the maritime industry, partnering closely with both sales and operations leadership, and thriving in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment. 
Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage full-cycle recruiting for both niche sales roles and high-volume entry level maritime positions.
  • Support employee lifecycle, onboarding, annual reviews, and offboarding.
  • Source, screen, interview, and extend offers for 15-20+ entry level hires per month.
  • Execute strategic sourcing campaigns for maritime sales roles using competitor mapping, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, industry associations, and direct outreach.
  • Coordinate interviews, collect feedback, and manage offer negotiations and pre-employment requirements (e.g., TWIC cards, drug screens, medical exams, background checks).
  • Partner with sales leadership to define role profiles, compensation benchmarks, and interview processes for niche sales roles.
  • Partner with operations supervisors to understand staffing needs, shift requirements, and basic maritime aptitude for entry level roles.
  • Provide weekly pipeline reports and data-backed recommendations to both sets of hiring managers.
  • Learn maritime industry fundamentals within 60 days (vessel types, common entry level roles, licensing basics, industry culture).
  • Build basic fluency in maritime sales to source effectively and ask credible questions.
  • Attend at least 2 maritime industry events or career fairs per year.
  • Maintain accurate, real-time data in the ATS for all requisitions.
  • Ensure all pre-employment compliance steps are completed before start dates.
  • Continuously improve recruitment processes to balance speed with quality of hire. 

Knowledge & Skill Requirements:
  • Ability to screen 50+ candidates per week, manage a large pipeline, and maintain speed without sacrificing candidate experience.
  • Ability to find passive candidates for niche roles using LinkedIn, industry forums, direct outreach, and networking.
  • Comfortable switching between "speed mode" (entry level) and "hunter mode" (sales roles) daily.
  • Willingness to learn a new, technical industry quickly. No prior maritime experience required, but intellectual curiosity is mandatory.
  • Clear, direct, and professional with both sales leaders and operations supervisors.
  • Able to manage 15-25 open requisitions simultaneously across two very different role types.
  • Experience with any major ATS.
  • Familiarity with pre-employment screening processes (backgrounds, drug tests, physicals). 

Experience & Education Requirements:
  • 2–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience.
  • Demonstrated success in a high-volume recruiting environment (e.g., logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, trades, or staffing agency).
  • Demonstrated experience recruiting non-entry level or hard-to-fill roles (sales, technical, licensed, or professional roles accepted).
  • Experience with pre-employment compliance requirements (TWIC, DOT physicals, background checks).
  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required with equivalent experience. 
Physical Requirements: 
  • Requires repetitive motion, hearing, talking, grasping, and sitting.
  • Workers are required to have close visual acuity to perform activities such as preparing and analyzing data and figures, transcribing, viewing a computer terminal, and extensive reading.
  • Worker is not subject to adverse environmental conditions as work is performed in an office.
  • Must be able to lift 25 pounds at times.
