  • Design and continuously improve the candidate pipeline: sourcing strategy, job board and ad management, screening criteria, interview process, and offer management.
  • Own employer branding and outreach efforts to strengthen Narrow Security's presence in the security services labor market.
  • A key stakeholder in the project to integrate our recruitment, applicant tracking and scheduling systems to maximize automation
  • Track and report recruitment metrics (time-to-fill, source of hire, interview-to-post, offer acceptance rate, turnover-linked hiring needs) to HR and operations leadership.
  • Ensure recruitment practices comply with applicable state and local employment laws across Narrow Security's multi-state footprint.
  • Partner with the HR Manager and Director of Administration on onboarding handoff, new hire experience, and retention initiatives.

  • Significant direct, hands-on experience conducting a high volume of candidate interviews is required.
  • Strong interviewing, candidate assessment, and decision-making skills, with the ability to quickly identify qualified candidates and overall fit.
