About
the Role We're hiring a Recruiting Coordinator to help us build a best-in-class recruiting engine as we scale. This is a coordination-heavy role, but the scope goes beyond scheduling - you'll own the systems and processes that keep
the team organized and moving, and you'll be expected to improve them over time. This means helping to build the processes, documentation, and systems that grow with us, not just executing the ones that already exist. Beyond scheduling, you'll plug into broader recruiting operations such as talent mapping, reporting, referral processing, and events - wherever
the team needs support. What You’ll Do Recruiting Operations Maintain data integrity across our ATS and recruiting tools - audit regularly and keep things accurate. Support talent mapping, referral processing, inbound application triage, and recruiting events. Track interview feedback completion and follow up to make sure nothing stalls. Identify process gaps and propose improvements - this role is expected to make the function better, not just execute. Collect, organize, and audit interview feedback to ensure nothing gets lost or delayed. Maintain up-to-date recruiting information in documentation and in Slack, support data integrity across recruiting systems.
