The bottom line for you in this position is to make sure that AJET is fully staffed and has a happy stable workforce.
Recruiting: Traditional methods of hiring (i.e. post a job and conduct interviews) have not proven to be the most effective for AJET. We need someone who can go out and actively recruit and find good candidates. We are mostly hiring for blue collar positions, a space that traditionally doesn’t have a lot of recruiting activity. So we need someone who is creative and can come up with out of the box ways to reach the right type of people. This will likely mean cold calling people, connecting with them on social media, networking, etc. Your ability to effectively recruit good talent will be key to your success and AJET’s success.
Retention: The counterpart to recruiting is retention. We need to be able to hold on to the good people we have and develop their skills. One of AJET’S stated missions is to be a place where people can come to grow and develop (both professionally and on a personal level). We need to make sure there are good training programs in place, that people feel valued and heard and that they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. You will be responsible for creating and spearheading initiatives to boost morale and cultivate a healthy, fun culture in the workplace.
Administrative: You will also be responsible for administrative tasks like onboarding new employees, managing HR related requests from employees, tracking training and career progress etc. You will also handle employee complaints and make sure people feel they have an advocate if they think they are being treated unfairly.
