Temporary Recruiter (Leave Coverage)

About Ridwell

Ridwell is a service that inspires people to create a future without waste. Today, we make it easy to reuse and recycle more by identifying recyclable and reusable items that the city doesn't collect through both our doorstep pickup and mail-in services, connecting those materials with local and national partners that can use them sustainably. Our future plans go much further and include making zero waste a reality for millions.

As a B Corp-certified company, sustainability isn't just a company value—it's a fundamental part of our purpose and interests. Our mission is to empower communities to waste less, and every success our team celebrates means more waste saved from the landfill and more valuable donations in the hands of local non-profits.

This is a pivotal moment of growth for Ridwell. We're looking for people who are energized by a challenging, fast-paced environment, ready to make a real impact on a mission that matters, and excited to grow alongside a team that's genuinely invested in one another!

About the Role

Ridwell is seeking a hands-on, experienced recruiter to support frontline hiring across our organization during a period of leave-coverage. This is an opportunity to step into an important function, make an immediate contribution, and help ensure our teams have the people they need to operate.

The role will primarily focus on recruiting Drivers and Warehouse Associates across our 11 locations. We're looking for someone who can independently manage the full recruiting process, build and maintain candidate pipelines, partner with hiring managers, and take responsibility for moving searches forward. This is a hands-on recruiting role focused on keeping frontline hiring on track.

Reporting to the HR Director, you'll own day-to-day recruiting execution for assigned frontline positions, with support and direction on priorities and more complex hiring needs. You'll work closely with hiring managers across locations and be part of a small, collaborative HR team.

This is an initial 90-day, temporary W-2 assignment providing leave coverage, with an anticipated start in mid-December 2026. The assignment may be extended based on business needs, but an extension or permanent position is not guaranteed.

An hourly, non-exempt position with an expected commitment of approximately 30 hours per week. The schedule will generally follow Monday through Friday business hours, with a preference for an earlier Pacific Time start to ensure overlap with the HR team and hiring managers across time zones.

This position can be performed remotely, with hiring eligibility limited to candidates residing in Washington, Oregon, California, or Colorado.

Rate: $28–$30 per hour. The offered rate will vary based on location, taking into account regional cost-of-living differences.
