We're looking for a motivated Recruiting Operations Specialist to join the Market Operations team. This role blends hands-on recruiting expertise with day-to-day, customer and worker-facing operations. You'll source, screen, and onboard workers across all classifications while also serving as a local point of contact for customers and Wonoloers where you will resolve issues quickly, build meaningful relationships, and improve the processes that support every placement and shift. This is a hybrid role with some travel to customer sites, and local hiring events are expected, alongside remote recruiting and operations work.
This role has an anticipated duration of 6 months to start with the potential to extend. This role will work Monday–Friday during business hours, though early mornings and evenings may be required during peak periods.
We welcome qualified candidates located in the New York or Newark area and willing to travel within the market.
- Bring expert-level knowledge of outbound recruiting strategies, screening practices, and onboarding experiences to place and retain workers.

- Develop and maintain job descriptions and specifications so the Recruiting Team is well-equipped for interviews and workers receive an accurate picture of the role and expectations.
- Support both Wonolo app and W-2 onboarding processes, working closely with the W-2 Onboarding team to minimize idle time between screening and placement.
- Serve as a local point of contact for customers and workers, monitoring performance of placed candidates and responding quickly to day-of or last-minute issues (no-shows, worker concerns) with fast, effective solutions.
- Travel to Wonolo customer locations (e.g., warehouse or production facilities) to build influential candidate and customer relationships and coordinate with the local Market Team on Wonoloers' on-site experience.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement across recruiting and worker operations, and track metrics (e.g., application-to-interview, interview-to-placed, market performance) to gauge efficiency and inform strategic decisions.
- Partner with Market Operations, Marketing, Product, and regional Market/Sales teams to align on broader strategic initiatives.
- Proven work experience as a recruiter (in-house or staffing agency) and/or 1+ years of experience in staffing, consulting, or operations.
- Solid ability to conduct different types of interviews (structured, competency-based, video, phone, reference checks, etc.).
- Familiarity with HR databases, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and Candidate Management Systems (CMS).
- Proven experience building effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- Proficient at interpreting data, identifying trends, and using insights to make informed decisions and solve problems.
- Comfortable planning, executing, and monitoring projects in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with minimal guidance.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; bilingual ability in English and Spanish a plus.
- Access to reliable transportation and the ability to travel within the Boston area.
