Position: Talent Acquisition Manager
Location: AutoCanada Home Office, Edmonton, AB
Classification: Full-Time, Immediate Hire

AutoCanada is looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to lead recruitment across our dealership, collision, and corporate network throughout Canada. This role partners directly with operational and executive leadership to drive hiring strategy, build strong talent pipelines, and lead a high-performing recruitment team.

This is not a traditional corporate Talent Acquisition role. Success comes from understanding dealership operations, building strong partnerships, operating with urgency, and driving hiring results in fast-paced environments.

Your day-to-day:

• Lead and develop a national team of Talent Partners and Recruiters supporting dealerships, collision centres, and Store Support Centre functions across Canada
• Partner directly with executive leadership, operational leaders, and dealership teams to support workforce planning and hiring strategy
• Drive full-cycle recruitment operations across automotive retail, Fixed Operations, collision, corporate, and leadership hiring
• Build proactive talent pipelines and sourcing strategies for high-demand and hard-to-fill positions across multiple provinces and markets
• Lead recruitment modernization initiatives focused on process improvement, automation, reporting, and candidate experience
• Utilize LinkedIn, Indeed, referrals, networking, market mapping, and proactive sourcing strategies to attract top talent
• Monitor recruitment performance metrics including time-to-fill, pipeline activity, sourcing effectiveness, and hiring trends
• Support employer branding, campus partnerships, referral programs, and recruitment marketing initiatives across the business
• Ensure recruitment practices remain compliant with provincial and federal employment standards while supporting a consistent national hiring process
• Act as a strategic partner to leadership by identifying workforce challenges, market trends, and opportunities to improve hiring performance across the organization

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of experience leading high-volume Talent Acquisition or Recruitment functions
• Experience recruiting within automotive retail, Fixed Operations, collision, or multi-location operational environments strongly preferred
• Proven experience leading and developing recruitment teams in fast-paced environments
• Strong operational recruitment, sourcing, and workforce planning capabilities
• Ability to build credibility quickly and influence stakeholders at all levels of the business
• Strong understanding of recruitment operations, pipeline management, and hiring strategy
• Excellent communication, leadership, and relationship-building skills
• Experience utilizing ATS, HRIS, reporting tools, and recruitment technologies
• Organized, proactive, and solutions-focused mindset with the ability to manage multiple priorities

This is an opportunity to join a business in growth mode where Talent Acquisition plays a critical role in operational success across Canada. If you enjoy pace, leadership, partnership, and building high-performing teams in fast-moving environments, we'd love to connect.
