About the Role

We are seeking a Contract Recruiter to support a growing biomanufacturing organization during a period of increased hiring needs. This role will partner closely with an experienced in-house recruiter who requires additional support due to bandwidth and intermittent time away from the office.

This is a hands-on recruiting role with a strong mix of sourcing, stakeholder management, and full-cycle recruiting across both technical and hourly roles. The work is primarily focused on supporting a small but growing number of open requisitions (approximately 5 current roles, with 5–10 additional openings expected in the next 3–6 months).

What You’ll Do

• Manage full-cycle recruiting across exempt and hourly roles
• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements and guide process expectations
• Support sourcing efforts for specialized and hard-to-fill roles
• Recruit across plant and lab environments including maintenance managers, shift supervisors, and lab managers
• Educate and support hiring managers on recruiting best practices
• Work within ATS and HR systems to manage requisitions and candidate flow
• Support recruiting across multiple U.S. plant locations (MN primarily, with additional sites in CA and IA)

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of recruiting experience
• Strong preference for experience in manufacturing, plant, or industrial environments
• Experience recruiting both hourly and exempt/technical roles
• Comfortable with sourcing in addition to managing inbound applicants
• Ability to work independently while partnering closely with HR and hiring teams
• Experience working in fast-moving, evolving recruiting environments
• Familiarity with ATS systems such as Pinpoint and UKG is a plus

Why This Role

This is a great opportunity to step into a meaningful recruiting role supporting a mission-driven organization focused on advancing U.S. biomanufacturing and strengthening domestic supply chains. The role offers flexibility, exposure to a variety of roles, and the potential to transition into a long-term opportunity.

The organization is supported by a strong HR team, including an HR Business Partner and HR Generalist, with recruiting leadership currently in place and seeking additional bandwidth.
