Talent Acquisition Specialist

Role Title

Talent Acquisition Specialist – Full-Cycle Execution

Role Summary

You will own the candidate lifecycle from sourcing to offer closure, ensuring that every role is filled with the right candidate on time. You operate independently, balancing multiple hiring requirements, and maintaining a smooth, professional candidate experience. Your focus is on closing loops: no candidate is left hanging, no interview is uncoordinated, and no role is delayed due to administrative gaps.

Filtering signal: This role is not for candidates who require daily supervision or struggle to prioritize multiple hiring pipelines simultaneously.

Core Responsibilities

Sourcing & Attraction

• Identify potential candidates using job boards, social media, and professional networks.
• Write and post job ads across multiple platforms, ensuring they accurately reflect role requirements.
• Screen incoming applications for minimum qualifications and cultural fit.

Interview Coordination & Process Management

• Schedule interviews with candidates and hiring managers across time zones.
• Confirm candidate availability and proactively prevent no-shows via phone, SMS, or email.
• Prepare interview kits and briefing notes for hiring managers.
• Track each candidate’s status in the ATS and ensure all steps are completed in sequence.

Process & Reporting

• Partner with hiring managers to understand role needs and culture requirements.
• Propose adjustments to recruiting strategy based on metrics and outcomes.
