Talent Advisor (Recruiter)

Who we are

We are on a mission to become a leading supplier of critical materials that enable the green energy and technology revolution. Our materials and technologies are required for the electric vehicle, green energy, consumer electronics, and defense industries, and our battery grade lithium and tech metals are needed for chipsets, semiconductors, and 5G.

We have a substantial interest in the Round Top, Heavy Rare Earth, Lithium and Critical Minerals deposit in West Texas. We have also developed the United States' first rare earth and critical minerals processing facility and we own the only scalable, sintered neo-magnet manufacturing system in the Western Hemisphere. By developing this fully integrated, US-based "mine-to-magnet" critical mineral supply chain, we are poised to become the leading domestic supplier to these industries.

What you can expect

At USA Rare Earth, we are pioneers and problem solvers, technologists and team players. Together, we:

• Build Solutions: If our task was a simple one, it would already be done. We are creative and solution-oriented, and we think outside the box to solve important problems. We know that a range of expertise and technologies is needed for success, and we work across sectors and alongside customers to deliver world‑class solutions in sustainable ways.
• Deliver Quality: When we do things, we do them well. We believe that top‑tier quality leads to industry competitiveness and we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards. We move fast when executing, but safety, quality, and excellence always come first.
• Lead responsibly: We have a responsibility to the planet, our consumers, our country, and each other. We put safety at the center of all we do, take accountability for our actions, incorporate sustainable practices in our processes and act with the financial best interest of our investors and consumers in mind.
• Win Together: Establishing a rare earth magnet supply chain is a big undertaking – and getting there is a team effort. We communicate openly, work together and challenge each other in pursuit of our goals. With every step we take we learn and get better.

About the Role

We're building something that doesn't exist yet – a domestic supply chain for rare earth materials and magnets. That means we need someone who can find talent before they're looking and get them excited about what we're creating.

This is a full‑cycle recruiting role for someone who knows how to source passive candidates, build talent networks, and sell a compelling story to people who have options. You'll be recruiting across corporate, mining, and engineering roles in a fast‑moving startup environment where building process and figuring things out as you go is part of the job.

• Build relationships with targeted schools and community liasons
• Build and maintain talent pipelines and networks in target industries
• Own full‑cycle recruiting from sourcing through offer and close

• Support onboarding and early employee engagement

What You Bring

• 5+ years recruiting for corporate, mining, or engineering roles
• Proven ability to source and close passive candidates
• Startup or high‑growth environment experience – you don't need an SOP and you're comfortable building as you go
