Access Your Potential.
Join us to create and deliver experiences that inspire people, spark connection, and bring imagination to life—while having a lot of fun doing it.

Role Overview

This is a hands-on, high-volume recruiting role focused on execution and operational support. This position is not a strategic Corporate Recruiter or Talent Partner role. Instead, the Talent Acquisition Specialist / Recruiter partners closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager to support day-to-day recruiting activity across multiple markets.

The role primarily supports high-volume hiring for operational and field-based positions, helping to keep candidate pipelines moving through resume review, phone screening, interview coordination, sourcing, and pipeline management. Senior leadership and strategic searches are managed by the Talent Acquisition Manager.

This opportunity is best suited for early- to mid-career recruiting professionals who enjoy fast-paced environments, managing multiple requisitions, and the day-to-day work of keeping hiring processes organized, efficient, and moving forward.

About the Job

The Talent Acquisition Specialist / Recruiter plays a key role in driving the day-to-day execution of Access’s national hiring efforts. Working closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager, this role supports multiple concurrent openings across departments and locations.
