About Us:

At Wash Associates, our mission is to be our community's preferred car wash brand by obsessively pursuing excellence in all things. We take pride in maintaining high standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Our core values guide our approach to business and customer service: a strive-not-arrived attitude, the belief that good enough is not good enough, the importance of healthy communication rooted in respect, reliance on data-driven decision-making, and embracing a lean mindset.

About the Role:

We are looking for our first dedicated Recruiter to own hiring for frontline and site-level roles across all of our locations in Illinois and Tennessee. Reporting into the Director of HR, the Recruiter will own the hiring process end-to-end - from posting the job to extending the offer - while General Managers retain the final interview and hire decision at their site. This role is vital to finding the best people to fit our culture and values across a fast-growing, multi-site organization, and will require strong organization, communication, and judgment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Post and manage job openings across all sites in Illinois and Tennessee
  • Source and screen candidates, including conducting first-round phone screens
  • Schedule and coordinate interviews between candidates and General Managers
  • Partner with GMs to understand site-specific hiring needs and timelines
  • Extend offers and complete onboarding paperwork, handing off cleanly to HR
  • Route candidates to the right location when fit or availability shifts across sites
  • Track and report on key metrics, including time-to-fill, 90-day retention, and GM satisfaction
  • Build and maintain a values-based screening rubric in partnership with HR and site leadership
  • Provide regular feedback loops with GMs after each hiring cycle to continuously improve the process
  • Identify and support continuous improvement initiatives within the hiring process as the company scales

Key Requirements:

Required:

  • 3+ years of experience in recruiting or talent acquisition, ideally in multi-site, hourly, or high-volume hiring environments
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly with both candidates and operational leaders

Preferred:

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or other related field
  • Experience with applicant tracking systems and recruiting tools, including BreezyHR
  • A genuine eye for culture fit, beyond resume keywords
  • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple open roles and pipelines simultaneously across two states
  • Strong problem solving skills
  • A high degree of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Effective organizational and time management skills
  • Strong sense of urgency and ability to meet tight deadlines
  • Highest ethical standards, integrity, authenticity, credibility and character
