Recruiting Coordinator

About the role

Bubble Down is growing from 8 locations to more than 30 across Tampa Bay. Growth at that pace requires more than applications—it requires the right people entering our hiring process.

This is a phone-forward role focused on connecting with applicants quickly, evaluating candidate fit, and ensuring site leaders spend their time interviewing candidates who meet our standards.

When someone applies, you call them. We believe recruiting starts with conversations—not waiting for candidates to respond to emails or scheduling links.
