• Use filters, basic formulas, structured layouts, and organized data entry methods to improve tracker usability.
• Update candidate profiles, interview stages, progression statuses, notes, and administrative details in the Applicant Tracking System.
• Support ATS hygiene by checking data accuracy, reducing missing information, and keeping candidate workflows current.
• Assist with templates, calendars, coordination workflows, and simple process improvements that make recruitment operations smoother.
• Help recruiters and talent partners with administrative tasks related to scheduling, follow‑ups, reporting, and candidate coordination.
• Support ad‑hoc Talent Acquisition projects that require clean data, structured documentation, or operational follow‑through.
• Maintain confidentiality when handling candidate information, hiring updates, interview feedback, and internal recruitment data.
• Track open actions, pending confirmations, interview changes, and scheduling conflicts with strong attention to detail.
• Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders to confirm availability, resolve scheduling gaps, and keep hiring activity moving.
• Break down operational tasks into manageable steps and complete them within competing deadlines.
• Contribute to a more organized, accurate, and reliable Talent Acquisition function through consistent administrative support.

Ideal Profile
