Layup Parts is a manufacturing technology company using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems to replace months of lead time with days. The company serves customers in aerospace, defense, robotics, and related sectors.
You will own full-cycle recruiting across the production and manufacturing organization, with a focus on high-volume hiring for roles including Composites Technicians, CNC Machinists, skilled trades, and other production-critical positions. This is a hands-on role requiring proactive sourcing and the ability to build repeatable hiring channels rather than relying solely on inbound applicants.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building and maintaining scalable sourcing engines to create consistent candidate flow through Indeed Smart Sourcing, job boards, employee referrals, staffing partners, trade schools, community organizations, local outreach, and direct sourcing
- Partnering closely with production and operations leaders to understand workforce needs, anticipate hiring demand, and translate rapidly changing production requirements into actionable recruiting plans
- Managing a high-volume portfolio of requisitions and candidates simultaneously, driving fast cycle times while maintaining strong organization and candidate experience
- Developing creative strategies for difficult-to-fill shifts and skill sets, testing new sources and adjusting approach based on candidate flow, quality, and conversion metrics
- Driving candidates through the full process from initial outreach through screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, close, and pre-employment steps
- Maintaining accurate, real-time requisition and candidate data in the ATS and using metrics such as pipeline volume, conversion, source effectiveness, offer acceptance, and time-to-fill to guide strategy
Requirements:
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with significant experience supporting high-volume production, manufacturing, skilled trades, technician, or hourly hiring
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage a high-volume requisition and candidate load while consistently delivering against aggressive hiring targets
- Strong direct sourcing experience, particularly with tools such as Indeed Smart Sourcing, resume databases, job boards, referrals, and local outreach channels used to reach production and skilled-trades talent
- Experience partnering directly with manufacturing, operations, or production leaders in a fast-moving environment where workforce requirements and priorities change quickly
- Comfortable operating in a resource-lean, high-growth environment where success requires urgency, creativity, strong follow-through, and willingness to be hands-on
Bonus experience:
- Recruiting in aerospace, defense, composites, advanced manufacturing, or other highly technical manufacturing environments
- Building or scaling high-volume production recruiting programs, sourcing channels, or local talent pipelines
- Supporting rapid headcount growth in an early-stage or high-growth company
