About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and systems-minded Recruiting Operations Specialist to join our Talent Acquisition team. This role is the operational backbone of the recruiting function – owning the buildout and ongoing optimization of our ATS, supporting active recruiting and strategic projects prioritized with the team (focus varies – e.g., employer branding, candidate experience). The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience configuring talent acquisition systems, a process-design mindset, and the ability to translate recruiter pain points into clean, functional solutions.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end configuration and buildout of the HRIS and ATS platforms to support the full talent acquisition lifecycle.
- Design, document, and implement standardized recruiting workflows within the system, including job requisition approval, candidate stages, offer management, and new hire handoff to onboarding.
- Build and maintain system integrations between the ATS, HRIS, and adjacent tools (e.g., LinkedIn, background check providers, HRIS modules).
- Partner with HR, Finance, and IT stakeholders to ensure data flows, permissions, and system architecture align with business requirements.
- Serve as the primary system administrator for recruiting platforms—managing user access, configuration updates, and troubleshooting.
- Map current-state recruiting processes and identify gaps, redundancies, and automation opportunities.
- Build and maintain a library of standardized recruiting templates, scorecards, and workflow documentation.
- Develop and enforce data hygiene standards and ensure consistent use of the ATS across the recruiting team.
- Create and maintain SOPs for all key recruiting operations processes.
- Build and maintain recruiting team reporting covering pipeline health, source effectiveness, offer acceptance rates, and recruiter capacity.
- Translate data into actionable insights for the TA leadership team and business partners.
- Ensure data integrity across all reporting by establishing consistent data entry standards.
- Contribute to top priority strategic projects, driven and evolved by recruiting team members (e.g., employer branding, enhanced candidate experience, process improvement).
- Execute moderate talent acquisition workload (~5-7 open roles) by partner with hiring managers to understand team needs, execute targeted sourcing, conduct candidate screens, and shortlist highly qualified candidates.
- Facilitate candidate assessments, translate hiring team feedback into actionable insights, and coordinate interview schedules between candidates and hiring managers.
- Build and maintain a pipeline of potential candidates for current and future job openings.
- Establish a positive candidate experience by providing timely updates, constructive feedback, and prompt responses to inquiries.
Requirements
- 3 - 5+ years of experience as a talent acquisition associate, talent acquisition coordinator or related role.
- Hands-on ATS build-out experience required – candidates must have configured or maintained an enterprise ATS (Workday, Greenhouse, Rippling, or Lever strongly preferred).
- Experience designing recruiting workflows, approval chains, stage configurations, and automation within an ATS environment.
- Demonstrated ability to build recruiting reports; comfort with ATS/HRIS reporting modules and Excel.
- Interest and excitement to drive strategic projects forward – e.g., employer branding initiatives, candidate experience redesigns, or structured interviewing programs.
- Strong process and systems thinking; able to translate ambiguous problems into structured, scalable solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to train and influence non-technical stakeholders including hiring managers and senior leadership.
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with minimal direction.
- A self-starter mindset with a bias toward action, documentation, and continuous improvement.
