As part of our leadership team, you'll embody our Promise to Lead with Love-guiding, supporting, and inspiring associates while delivering extraordinary guest experiences. You'll play a vital role in shaping the guest and associate experience by attracting and hiring top talent that will deliver exceptional service.

  • Maintain accurate records in the applicant tracking system (ATS).
  • Monitor hiring metrics and adjust strategies as needed.
  • Support onboarding and compliance with all hiring policies and labor laws.
  • Promote Kalahari as an employer of choice in the community.

What We're Looking For
  • Industry Knowledge: A Strong understanding of hospitality industry, resort, or waterpark operations is highly preferred.
  • Technical Skills: Proficient in Applicant Tracking Systems and virtual interview platforms (e.g., Teams, Zoom).
  • Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to partner with leaders and engage candidates.
  • Organization: Able to manage multiple openings, plan hiring events, and meet staffing deadlines.
  • Flexibility: Willing to work non-traditional hours based on business needs.
  • Experience: 2+ years in recruiting or HR, preferably in hospitality or high-volume environments. Prior experience with hourly or seasonal hiring is a plus.
  • Compliance: Familiar with hiring laws, EEO standards, and onboarding best practices.

A Sampling of Our Benefits

  • Career growth opportunities with promotion from within
  • 401(k) matching, paid time off, and holiday compensation
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage for full-time associates
