What You Will Contribute:

Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

Badger Meter | Milwaukee, WI (Hybrid)

At Badger Meter, Talent Acquisition is more than filling roles—it’s about shaping the future of our business. As a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to leaders, driving full-cycle recruiting strategies that attract and hire top-tier talent across engineering, manufacturing, sales, and corporate functions.

This is an opportunity to own your searches end-to-end, influence hiring decisions, and bring innovative sourcing strategies to life—all while delivering a best-in-class candidate experience.

What You’ll Do

Own and drive recruiting strategy

  • Partner closely with hiring leaders to deeply understand business needs, team dynamics, and future talent gaps
  • Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies using market insights, competitive intelligence, and creative outreach techniques
  • Lead searches for hard-to-fill and strategic roles across multiple disciplines and leadership levels

Elevate candidate experience & employer brand

  • Serve as a brand ambassador—articulating what makes Badger Meter a compelling place to build a career
  • Engage and nurture both active and passive candidates through a thoughtful, high-touch experience
  • Ensure a seamless and professional process from first contact through offer acceptance

Deliver high-impact hiring outcomes

  • Conduct structured screens to evaluate skills, experience, and culture alignment
  • Influence hiring decisions through consultative guidance and data-driven recommendations
  • Lead offer development and negotiation in partnership with hiring managers and HR

Shape and improve TA processes

  • Contribute to and lead initiatives aligned to employer branding, candidate experience, and recruiting process improvement
  • Stay ahead of talent trends, market conditions, and emerging sourcing strategies to drive continuous improvement
  • Mentor and develop junior team members or interns as needed

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally supporting technical, engineering, or manufacturing roles
  • Proven ability to fill complex, hard-to-find skill sets through creative sourcing strategies
  • Strong consultative approach—comfortable influencing and advising senior stakeholders
  • Expertise across sourcing channels (LinkedIn Recruiter, social platforms, networking, etc.)
  • Experience using structured interview techniques to assess both technical capability and cultural alignment
  • Data-driven mindset with the ability to adapt strategies based on market trends

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Strategic impact Partner directly with leaders to shape hiring decisions—not just execute reqs
  • Variety of searches Work across engineering, operations, sales, and corporate functions
  • Autonomy + ownership You own your pipeline, your strategy, and your outcomes
  • Continuous improvement culture Opportunity to influence TA processes and employer brand
  • Strong team collaboration with opportunities to mentor and grow

Additional access to a certified financial planner to help ensure your money is working for you, at no cost!
