• Design and coordinate role-specific assessments (case studies, work samples, technical tests)
• Build detailed scorecards for each candidate, capturing strengths, concerns, and interview insights
• Collect and verify candidate references to ensure quality and fit
• Prepare candidates thoroughly for client interviews, setting them up for success
• Coordinate interview schedules across multiple time zones with efficiency and professionalism
• Gather and synthesize feedback from all stakeholders to drive hiring decisions forward
• Keep candidates engaged and informed throughout the process, even when they're not selected
• Provide recruitment updates to clients as needed on search progress and candidate pipeline
• Guide offer negotiations to close candidates while protecting client budgets
• Execute smooth handoffs to the People Associate for onboarding
• Document lessons learned and continuously refine recruitment processes

• Demonstrated success recruiting across diverse functions (marketing, sales, creative, operations, etc.)
• Experience recruiting for technical roles is a plus
• ATS proficiency, preferably BambooHR, for candidate tracking and pipeline management
• Strong communication skills: you can build rapport with candidates & navigate tough conversations with grace
• Highly organized and detail-oriented: nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
• Ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously without compromising quality

• Familiarity with ClickUp, Slack, Google Workspace, Calendly, Fireflies, Claude
• Background in placing talent for agencies, ecommerce brands, or B2B services companies (nice-to-have)
