What you’ll do

Source Talent: Identify, source and engage candidates through creative and innovative sourcing approaches. Utilize platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn to scout talent that aligns with the objectives of the hiring managers. Manage LinkedIn messages and communication with candidates.  Coordinate events when necessary for an effective and efficient interview process.

Evaluate and Hire Talent: Identify and connect with top talent for the open roles. Review and pre-screen resumes. Conduct phone and in-person interviews to determine the candidate’s culture fit, experience, and knowledge as it relates to position requirements. Manage ATS organization, diligently track the progress of candidates and provide the appropriate communication as they proceed through the evaluation process. Make offers and assist with onboarding of new hires. All of this should be conducted with passion for a spectacular candidate experience and a mission for putting the best team on the field.

Provide Incredible Hospitality: Ensure consistent communication regarding recruiting efforts by providing status updates to all involved in the hiring process. Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates throughout the full recruiting cycle (i.e. communicate status, answer questions and coordinate all follow-up efforts).
