Location: Manteno, IL | Full-Time | Direct Hire | $80,000 – $120,000 | Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance available
About the Opportunity
LaSalle Network is partnering with a fast-growing, global clean energy and advanced manufacturing company to find a talented Bilingual Recruiter to join their on-site Talent Acquisition team in Manteno, IL. This is a rare opportunity to play a critical role on a high-performing TA team at a company that is rapidly scaling its U.S. operations.
This person will own full-cycle recruiting across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and General & Administrative functions — with a particular focus on roles where a significant portion of the leadership team is based internationally and communicates primarily in Mandarin. The ability to bridge the gap between U.S.-based candidates and global leadership is the core value this person brings to the team.

Collaborate closely with a team of on-site TA professionals on cross-functional searches
-
Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines across multiple functions

What We're Looking For
Required:
-
Mandarin fluency — business fluent or native speaker. This is the primary requirement for this role. Candidates who do not meet this requirement will not be considered.
-
Full-cycle recruiting experience (in-house or agency background accepted)
-
Strong communication and interpersonal skills — must be comfortable managing relationships with both domestic and international stakeholders
-
Professional maturity and cross-cultural awareness
-
Highly organized and able to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously
Preferred:
-
Recruiting experience in Finance, Accounting, Operations, or Supply Chain functions
-
Familiarity working with globally distributed teams across time zones
-
Experience in manufacturing, clean energy, EV, or industrial environments (nice to have, not required)

-
Competitive base salary: $80,000 – $120,000 depending on experience
-
Join a collaborative, on-site TA team with a strong team culture
-
Play a meaningful, visible role at a company experiencing significant U.S. growth
