Mission-Driven Nonprofit Organization

We’re partnering with a highly respected, nationally recognized nonprofit organization that is looking to add a Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Specialist to their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment and is passionate about connecting top talent with meaningful work.

• Conduct candidate screenings and interviews
• Partner with hiring managers on hiring strategy and candidate selection
• Build strong pipelines using LinkedIn, referrals, Handshake, and other sourcing tools
• Support interview coordination, debriefs, and hiring decisions
• Maintain ATS data integrity and recruitment reporting
• Help improve recruitment processes and candidate experience

What They’re Looking For:

• 3-7+ years of recruiting and/or HR experience
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Strong sourcing and relationship-building skills
• ATS experience and strong organizational abilities
• Collaborative, proactive, and detail-oriented mindset
• Passion for mission-driven work is a huge plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Opportunity to join a stable, mission-focused organization with strong leadership
• High visibility role with partnership across multiple departments
• Collaborative and team-oriented environment
• Excellent benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement match, PTO, and paid family leave
• Meaningful work supporting educational access and community impact
