About the role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and systems-minded Recruiting Operations Specialist to join our Talent Acquisition team. This role is the operational backbone of the recruiting function - owning the buildout and ongoing optimization of our ATS, supporting active recruiting and strategic projects prioritized with the team (focus varies - e.g., employer branding, candidate experience).

• Build and maintain system integrations between the ATS, HRIS, and adjacent tools (e.g., LinkedIn, background check providers, HRIS modules).
• Partner with HR, Finance, and IT stakeholders to ensure data flows, permissions, and system architecture align with business requirements.
• Serve as the primary system administrator for recruiting platforms-managing user access, configuration updates, and troubleshooting.
• Process Design & Optimization

• Execute moderate talent acquisition workload (~5-7 open roles) by partner with hiring managers to understand team needs, execute targeted sourcing, conduct candidate screens, and shortlist highly qualified candidates.
• Facilitate candidate assessments, translate hiring team feedback into actionable insights, and coordinate interview schedules between candidates and hiring managers.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of potential candidates for current and future job openings.
• Establish a positive candidate experience by providing timely updates, constructive feedback, and prompt responses to inquiries.
