Support offer-stage coordination, including scheduling offer discussions and assisting with pre-employment steps.

Track interview activity, scheduling metrics, and recruiting workflow status to ensure process efficiency.

Identify opportunities to improve coordination processes and candidate experience during the contract period.

Provide general administrative and operational support to the recruiting team as hiring needs evolve.

Requirements:

1–3+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, talent acquisition operations, or a similar scheduling-intensive role.

Strong experience managing complex calendars and coordinating interviews in high-volume or fast-paced environments.

Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, or similar).

Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a candidate-first mindset.

High attention to detail and strong organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.

Comfort working independently in a contract role with minimal ramp-up time.

Proficiency with Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office tools.

Ability to maintain professionalism and confidentiality when handling sensitive candidate information.
