Effectively manage multiple requisitions and candidates during high-volume periods while creating and owning a flawlessly positive candidate experience.
  • Attend University recruiting events and partner with university sales clubs to drive top of funnel activity.
  • Be a Talent Advisor: Partner closely with hiring leaders to deeply understand their teams and goals. Organize and facilitate interview debriefs and drive offer approval, extension, and negotiation. Identify closing strategies for offers and proactively provide candidates with the appropriate information to help make their decision as easy as possible.
