About the role

Pecheles Automotive Group is seeking a Recruiter to lead talent acquisition across their six dealerships: Hyundai, Volkswagen, Toyota, Audi, Honda, and Ford. This position offers the opportunity to shape the workforce behind one of the region's most respected dealer groups, from the sales floor to the service bay to store leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for sales consultants, service technicians, and management roles across all six rooftops
• Build proactive talent pipelines for every brand, not just fill openings as they come up
• Partner with GMs at each location to understand staffing needs, culture, and growth plans
• Screens, pre-qualifies, and presents 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

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of recruiting experience; automotive or high-volume retail experience a strong plus
• 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

Why Pecheles

• 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
• Incredible benefits package
