Recruiting Assistant

The position will typically work 20–30 hours per week. Flexibility is an important part of this role, as additional hours may occasionally be needed to support increased recruiting activity, PTO coverage, or other business needs.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, an excellent verbal and written communicator, and comfortable adjusting priorities and their schedule as needs change. This role requires someone who uses sound and ethical judgment, maintains confidentiality, communicates when priorities or expectations are unclear, and consistently follows through on responsibilities.

• Manage time effectively and remain flexible as recruiting priorities, workload, and scheduling needs change.

• Identify issues, think through potential solutions, and use sound and ethical judgment when handling candidate or recruiting-related situations.

• Provide additional recruiting and administrative support based on the needs of the Talent Acquisition and HR teams.
