Job Summary

Level Workforce is seeking an experienced Recruiting and HR Manager to support both internal operations and client-facing HR initiatives. This role has a strong emphasis on HR leadership, people management, and strategic recruiting, serving as a trusted advisor to clients and internal stakeholders.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience managing core HR functions, leading HR initiatives, advising leadership teams, and owning full-cycle recruiting efforts. This role goes beyond execution — it requires strategic thinking, decision-making, and leadership, with accountability for HR programs, compliance, talent strategy, and operational excellence.
