We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible. The role. We're hiring a Recruiting Associate to fill our pipeline. Nox is growing fast on the floor and in the office, and every empty seat slows us down. You own the top of our hiring funnel: you take a role from approved req to a full slate of qualified candidates on the calendar. You write and post the job, find the people, reach out, screen them, and put the best ones in front of our team for interviews. Most of your day is outbound. The best machinists, technicians, and operators aren't scrolling job boards, so you go find them. You'll recruit for the floor and the office, and as Nox opens new plants, including one in Los Angeles, you'll help staff each one. You report to our Recruiter.
