This role will work closely with operational and home office leaders to understand hiring needs, develop effective recruiting strategies, and attract talent at every level of the organization.

•    Own the Hiring Process & Candidate Experience: Guide candidates through the hiring process from initial contact through offer acceptance. Coordinate interviews, prepare offer letters, manage pre-employment requirements, and keep hiring leaders and candidates informed throughout the process.
•    Lead Onboarding & New Hire Orientation: Own the onboarding experience from offer acceptance through the new hire's start. Develop and conduct new hire orientation, introducing employees to LM Restaurants, our culture, values, and expectations while ensuring they have a positive start.
