As a Viva Recruiting Coordinator, you’ll work embedded with the recruiting team of one of our customers. This role isn’t just recruitment cleanup; your job is to enable the team to actually hire and do it well by keeping the pipeline constantly moving, supporting recruiters, and making sure no candidate falls through the cracks. You’ll own parts of the recruiting process independently, spot risks early, and take action before they affect the candidate experience or hiring goals. When something stalls, you’re expected to understand why, solve what you can, and bring in the right people when needed. What you’ll do

Schedule interviews & prep:

quickly and accurately for hiring managers, Talent Partners, interviewers, and panels, including the coordination and logistics needed to keep interviews moving.

Keep the ATS clean:

statuses, notes, timelines, and next steps always accurate and up to date.

Own the candidate experience:

manage clear, timely, and human communication across email, LinkedIn, and job boards, including confirmations, follow-ups, and proactive updates.

Keep job posts and descriptions current:

update role information across platforms so it stays accurate and aligned with hiring team needs.

Document recruiting processes:

capture workflows, recurring issues, and improvements that help the hiring process stay organized and efficient.

Screen and assess candidates:

use predefined criteria, probe when more context is needed, make decisions within your scope, and flag meaningful concerns early.

Spot where candidates are stuck:

understand what’s slowing them down and remove the bottleneck before it costs a hire.

Research first, then recommend:

take the first pass yourself, add context, bring a proposed next step, and loop in decision-makers when needed.

Use AI to move faster:

keep your own judgment on every output.
