Recruiter / HR Specialist

Chicago, IL
Part Time to Full Time
Mid Level

About the Role
We are seeking a Recruiter / HR Specialist to support hiring and people operations across several growing businesses in accounting, marketing, print/production, and technology services. This role will begin with a strong focus on recruiting and talent acquisition, while also supporting HR processes and employee operations as the organization grows.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to step into an early, high-impact role, work across multiple business lines, and help build a stronger hiring function from the ground up.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead recruiting efforts for open roles across multiple businesses and departments
  • Draft, post, and manage job listings across major hiring platforms
  • Source candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, networking, and direct outreach
  • Screen applicants, conduct initial interviews, and present qualified candidates to hiring managers
  • Coordinate interviews, candidate communication, feedback collection, and offer-stage follow-up
  • Maintain organized hiring pipelines, candidate records, and recruiting trackers
  • Support offer letters, onboarding coordination, and other core HR and people operations tasks
  • Help improve hiring workflows, documentation, and recruiting processes as the organization grows
  • Partner with leadership to understand hiring needs, priorities, and evolving staffing plans

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–5+ years of recruiting, talent acquisition, staffing, or related HR experience
  • Strong sourcing, screening, communication, and follow-through skills
  • Able to manage multiple open roles and shifting priorities without losing organization
  • Comfortable working in a growth-oriented, entrepreneurial environment
  • Professional, polished, and confident working with leadership and candidates alike
  • Experience with applicant tracking systems, LinkedIn recruiting, and standard hiring platforms
  • HR or people operations experience is a plus, but recruiting strength is the priority

Work Style

  • Hybrid role based in the Chicago area
  • In-office schedule will vary based on business needs; some weeks may require little in-person time, while others may require multiple days
  • The structure is intentionally flexible and may evolve as the organization grows

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct exposure to multiple businesses and leadership teams
  • Strong opportunity for growth as hiring needs expand
  • A chance to help shape recruiting and people operations early, not just maintain an existing process
  • Flexible hybrid environment with meaningful ownership and visibility

Compensation
Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonus structure, commensurate with experience.
