Job Description

Position Summary

The Talent Acquisition (TA) Partner is a seasoned recruiting professional who drives full-cycle salaried recruiting for Prime Communications' sales organization while shaping the hourly recruiting strategy that keeps stores and field locations staffed. The TA Partner pays particular attention to understaffed markets, partnering with field and HR leadership to close staffing gaps before they become business risk.

The TA Partner also owns execution of key Talent Acquisition programs, including Road Warriors, Prime’s mobility program, as well as other initiatives designed to identify, develop, and recruit emerging talent. The TA Partner ensures each program runs on schedule, delivers measurable results, and reflects Prime's standards for candidate and hiring-manager experience.

This individual contributor role reports to the Executive Director, Talent Acquisition and has no direct reports. Prior recruiting experience in retail and/or telecommunications is strongly preferred, given the pace, volume, and field-facing nature of Prime's hiring needs.
