Our company is built on our core values—servant leadership, unwavering character, a growth mindset, persistence, empowerment, pace, and fun—and guided by three pillars: being the Employer of Choice, Partner of Choice, and Contractor of Choice. We offer transformative support in operations, marketing, training, talent, finance, and technology, all while preserving the autonomy of local brands.Position Summary The Talent Acquisition Manager will lead Vertex's recruiting team and own our end-to-end hiring function across field and corporate roles nationwide. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable building process, coaching recruiters in high volume positions, presenting data to senior leadership, and rolling up their sleeves on hard-to-fill searches.
