  • Schedule interviews and coordinate communication between candidates and hiring managers 
  • Maintain candidate pipelines and ensure a positive candidate experience throughout the process 
  • Assist with offer letter preparation and background check coordination 
  • Partner with hiring managers to identify staffing needs 
  • Support employer branding efforts (careers page content, job fairs, social media postings) 
  • Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source of hire, pipeline conversion) and report to the Recruiting Manager 
  • Conduct new-hire onboarding and orientation 

Cross-Functional & Administrative  

  • Partner with the HR Manager and Recruiting Manager to prioritize competing deadlines across HR and recruiting workstreams 
  • Maintain confidentiality of sensitive employee and candidate information
