• 
  Modernize the sourcing engine: reduce over-reliance on job boards, expand/direct sourcing channels, and improve conversion and quality while operating within a low-pay-rate recruiting environment.
  
• 
  Maximize current tools and workflow, including an AI screener (Classet) and Zoom interviews then improve the process and decisioning framework around them.
  
• 
  Lead and develop the recruiting org: coach recruiters, improve quality/consistency, and help scale a growing team.
  
• 
  Oversee staffing service delivery/operations tied to the staffing business—scheduling, training, and account/service delivery rhythms.
  
• 
  Build the operating system: develop/refine SOPs, metrics, and weekly/monthly cadences that drive throughput, quality, and retention.

  Autonomy and impact: true opportunity to build the staffing and recruiting function—process, org design, and technology—from a foundational stage.
  
• 
  Growth runway: the business is targeting significant growth next year with meaningful operational transformation underway.
  
• 
  Visibility: direct partnership with senior leadership and board stakeholders.
