• We want someone who can hunt for talent.
• You'll identify high-performing logistics professionals, build relationships with people who aren't necessarily looking for a new job, sell them on the opportunity at Amnex, and create a continuous pipeline of people who can help us grow.

• As the company grows, you'll help us identify talent needs before they become emergencies.

• Generate qualified interviews.
• Maintain multiple active candidate pipelines.
• Reduce the time required to fill critical positions.

Responsibilities

• Proactively identify experienced logistics professionals through LinkedIn, job boards, industry networks, referrals, competitors, and direct outreach.
• Recruit passive candidates who are not actively applying for jobs.
• Build relationships with high-performing freight professionals across the Chicago market and nationwide.
• Create talent pipelines for positions we expect to hire for repeatedly.
• Develop creative strategies for reaching candidates that traditional job postings don't reach.
• Sell the Opportunity
• Recruiting is sales.
• Great candidates usually have options.
• Your job is to understand what motivates them and communicate why Amnex may be a better opportunity.
• Understand Amnex's growth story, culture, compensation structure, and career opportunities.
• Clearly communicate our value proposition to candidates.
• Build excitement around joining a rapidly growing organization.
• Understand what candidates are looking for and determine whether Amnex is genuinely the right fit.

• Strong sourcing skills using LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, job boards, databases, and direct outreach.
