If you're energized by finding hard-to-reach talent, managing multiple priorities at once, and partnering with hiring managers to solve workforce challenges, we'd love to talk with you.

- Schedule and coordinate interviews between candidates and clients
- Extend offers and negotiate compensation as needed
- Provide regular follow-up with candidates, hiring managers, and account teams
- Partner closely with Account Managers to develop recruiting strategies that meet client hiring demands
- Utilize ATS systems to manage candidate pipelines and recruiting activity
- Consistently meet or exceed recruiting performance goals and hiring targets
