About the role

For more than 200 years, thyssenkrupp has engineered what comes next. Our Automotive Technology division puts that expertise to work every day, developing the high-tech components and systems that move the industry forward. Behind every one of those advances is a team someone had to find, hire, and build. That is where you come in.

As a Corporate Talent Acquisition Specialist, you own full-cycle recruiting for the professional and leadership talent that keeps our automotive operations running and growing: engineering, operations, supply chain, and the managers and executives who lead them. You will work alongside hiring managers and HR across our sites on roles that are often business-critical and rarely simple. If you want recruiting that is equal parts strategy, relationships, and results, you will feel at home here.

This role is a 12 month contract, and it is remote. Compensation: $80,000 - $100,000.

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruiting from intake through offer and onboarding handoff, owning the candidate and hiring manager experience at every step.
• Carry an active desk of roughly 15 to 25 requisitions per month across engineering, operations, supply chain, and leadership roles.
• Source proactively through professional networks, LinkedIn, referrals, industry associations, universities, and technical programs, and build pipelines for the roles we hire for again and again.
• Screen candidates against role-specific competency models and deliver shortlists hiring managers can act on with confidence.
• Keep candidates and stakeholders informed throughout the process, and coach hiring managers on structured interviewing and sound hiring decisions.
• Maintain accurate data in the ATS and track the metrics that matter, including time to fill, pipeline health, and quality of hire.
• Translate wage, market, and talent-supply trends into workforce planning insight for NA HR and site leadership.
• Safeguard compliance across federal, state, and local law, internal policy, and union agreements, and keep the function audit-ready for IATF and internal HR reviews.

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-cycle corporate recruiting, including engineering, operations, or other salaried professional roles.
• A track record of managing a high-volume, multi-function desk without letting quality slip.
• Strong sourcing instincts and fluency with modern recruiting tools and channels.
• Sharp interviewing and assessment skills, and the judgment to read fit beyond the resume.
• Working knowledge of the laws that shape hiring: EEO, OFCCP, and state-specific requirements.
• Clear, credible communication with everyone from candidates to plant leadership.
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Skills

• Experience recruiting in automotive or industrial manufacturing.
• Familiarity with both union and non-union environments.
