• Drive approximately 60% of your time on active and passive sourcing activities across multiple channels to build strong candidate pipelines.
• Manage a requisition load of roughly 12-15 roles at a time, prioritizing effectively in a high-volume, high-velocity environment.

• Collaborate closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and other stakeholders through regular meetings and check-ins to align on role requirements and hiring priorities.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with candidates through clear communication, timely follow-up, and a high-touch candidate experience.
• Monitor pipeline metrics and leverage data to refine sourcing approaches, improve funnel health, and meet hiring goals.
• Proactively identify obstacles in the talent pipeline and develop solutions independently, rather than waiting for direction.
• Contribute to a collaborative, partnership-oriented team culture by sharing candidates, insights, and best practices.
• Represent the employer brand effectively, articulating the compelling aspects of the roles and organization to potential candidates.

Essential Skills

• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to craft clear, compelling outreach and candidate communication.
• Administrative experience related to recruiting processes, such as maintaining accurate records and managing workflows.
• Ability to thrive in high-velocity environments with shifting priorities and high hiring demand, managing multiple concurrent searches effectively.
• Proven agility in adjusting sourcing strategies based on feedback, data, and changing business needs.
• Strong relationship-building skills with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates, supported by clear communication and consistent follow-through.
• Data-driven mindset, with the ability to use metrics and stakeholder feedback to refine sourcing and recruiting approaches.
• Creative problem-solving skills, including the ability to experiment with new sourcing methods and tap into non-traditional talent pools.

Work Environment
You will work Monday through Friday in a collaborative, high-performing recruiting team that supports go-to-market, sales, and business development functions. The team is very tenured, helpful, and partnership-oriented, with a culture of sharing candidates and supporting one another. Hiring managers are highly engaged and approachable, and the roles you support offer high visibility and are considered enticing within the organization. The environment is fast-paced with high hiring demand and shifting priorities, requiring agility and comfort with managing 12-15 requisitions simultaneously. There is no expectation of overtime, weekend work, or holiday work. You will work extensively with an applicant tracking system and reporting tools to manage pipelines and metrics, and you will participate in daily team meetings and regular connections with hiring managers to stay aligned on priorities and progress.
