Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for sales consultants, service technicians, and management roles across all six locations
• Build proactive talent pipelines for every brand, not just fill openings as they arise
• Partner with General Managers at each location to understand staffing needs, culture, and growth plans
• Screen, pre-qualify, and present top candidates so leadership interviews only the best
• Keep ownership, the COO, and GMs informed on hiring progress, pipeline health, and staffing risks
• Track time-to-fill, source performance, and new-hire retention across the group
• Represent the Pecheles brand as an employer of choice in local hiring markets and job fairs

Requirements

• 2+ years of recruiting experience; automotive or high-volume retail experience a strong plus
• Ability to manage hiring pipelines across multiple locations and brands simultaneously
• Sharp instincts for evaluating talent beyond the resume
• Comfortable operating at a fast pace in a competitive Eastern NC labor market
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills across all levels of leadership
• Must be available to work evening hours as directed

Benefits

• Competitive base plus performance incentives tied to quality placements
• Incredible benefits package

About the company

• Six-rooftop group with real scale and long-term stability in the Eastern NC market
• Reports to the HR Director, with direct visibility to ownership, the COO, and GMs — this isn't a role buried in a corporate silo
• Clear path to Talent Acquisition Manager or broader HR leadership as the group grows
