Talent Acquisition Coordinator (Recruiter)

Description

Step Up to the Plate as Our Talent Acquisition Coordinator!

Location: Woodridge, IL (Onsite/Hybrid)
Department: People Operations
Pay: $28–$32 per hour

At Home Run Inn, we believe pizza should do more than fill you up—it should lift you up.

For nearly 100 years, we've been bringing people together over authentic Chicago tavern-style pizza. Behind every great pizza is an incredible team, and behind every incredible teammate is a hiring experience that makes them feel welcomed from day one.

That's where you come in.

If you're someone who loves creating memorable experiences, thrives on staying organized, enjoys connecting with people, and believes the little things make a big difference, we'd love to meet you.
