Original job description
Company Overview
Force Factor is on a mission to disrupt the global health and wellness industry by creating innovative health products that help consumers Unleash their Potential. Our vitamins, supplements, and better-for-you foods are scientifically formulated to help create healthier and happier lives for people of all kinds.
Our award-winning products are sold in thousands of retail and eCommerce stores nationwide, including Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, Target, CVS, The Vitamin Shoppe, Sam’s Club and iHerb. More than 50,000 people buy our products daily and that number is growing every month. You have the potential to make a real impact on people’s lives by working at Force Factor to create products that Unleash Potential!
Culturally, think of us as an intense, meritocratic, and exciting high-growth startup that has survived and thrived through its first decade of rapid evolution and is now focused on scaling up to conquer the next decade’s challenges and opportunities. We’ve accomplished a lot in our first 17+ years, but fundamentally know that we’re just at the beginning of our journey, and that’s where you come in! We need the smartest, highest energy people with real integrity who are looking to join an ambitious, hard-working team.
Force Factor is based in Boston’s innovative Seaport District. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated, and inspiring people operating with an ownership mindset (which is easy because we are entirely privately held and plan to stay that way). If you love a challenge, enjoy acting with urgency, and prefer to opt into a high-performance culture, when you join us, you’ll feel like you’ve finally come home. Our private ownership structure is designed for the long term to enable huge opportunities for key team members to learn a ton, work with other A players and generate significant wealth, and we hope you’ll choose to help us build an enduring and successful business for decades to come. There are two main reasons we’re included on Bain’s Insurgent Brands list of high-achieving CPG brands outperforming market growth: our people and our culture.
The Role
Force Factor is looking for a Talent Acquisition Co-op to join our People team for a 4-6 month, full-time, in-office role at our Boston Seaport headquarters. This role is open to current undergraduate and master’s students who want real work experience in talent acquisition, not a shadowing program. You’ll focus on sourcing, screening, and coordinating top candidates across the business, and you’ll partner closely with the SVP of People and hiring managers to help build a culture of smart, hungry, capable overachievers. You will own real searches, spend real time with candidates, and learn how a high-performance team gets built from the inside.
Key Responsibilities
Support full-cycle recruiting across multiple business functions, with a focus on sourcing, scheduling, and candidate management.
Partner with the SVP of People and hiring managers to understand role requirements and priorities.
Conduct initial screens and assessments, ensuring a strong pipeline of qualified candidates.
Manage candidate communications and deliver a positive, professional candidate experience.
Assist in building and maintaining pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
Coordinate interview logistics, feedback collection, and offer processes.
Help refine recruiting processes to ensure efficiency and consistency.
Required Qualifications
Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or master’s degree program, or a recent graduate seeking hands-on recruiting experience.
Available to work full time, in office, in Boston for the duration of the 4-6 month co-op. Prior recruiting or HR experience is a plus but not required.
Passion for talent and people - you enjoy interviewing, qualifying, and understanding candidates.
Strong communication and organizational skills.
Ability to manage multiple searches and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Self-starter who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a winning team.
Motivated, competitive, and excited to help build teams that make an impact.
