That's because, to us, each day is a chance to grow. As a team, we continuously inspire each other to learn new and better ways to make an impact. We own our jobs proudly - our leaders don't hold our hands, but they're in our corner whenever we ask for help - and our environment is flexible and remote-first.

• Be the main and first point of contact for candidates, ensuring an impeccable candidate experience at all times and that all applicants receive timely feedback or responses.
• Provide advice and feedback to hiring managers to assist them in selecting the most suitable candidate for the position.
• Manage the offer process, including preparation, negotiation, and closing of selected candidates.
• Administer and maintain the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Lever, ensuring data integrity and compliance with internal processes.
• Oversee internal recruitment procedures, ensuring internal mobility and job postings are well communicated.
• Provide regular recruitment updates to the TA Lead and hiring managers, including role/pipeline status and performance metrics such as time-to-hire and source effectiveness. 
• Prepare ad-hoc reports and insights as requested by leadership.
• Partner with peers in the HR team to align recruitment efforts with broader People & Culture initiatives.

• Ability to engage, attract, and influence key stakeholders both internally and externally.
• Strong organization, stakeholder management, and multitasking skills.
