Townsquare Interactive is looking for a driven, organized, and highly motivated Junior Recruiting & Sourcing Specialist to join our Recruiting team.

This is an entry‑level opportunity for someone interested in gaining hands‑on experience in a fast‑paced recruiting environment. You don't need previous recruiting experience—we're looking for someone with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, comfort working toward measurable goals, and an eagerness to learn.

In this role, you'll support our Recruiting team through high‑volume candidate sourcing and key recruiting operations. You'll gain exposure to the full recruiting process while becoming an expert in the systems, processes, and strategies our team uses to identify and hire great talent.

Why Townsquare Interactive?

We’re on a mission to help small and medium‑size businesses grow and succeed. Our all‑in‑one business management platform enhances customer flow, while our digital marketing services drive more customers to them—like website design, SEO, social media, and reputation management. We take the stress out of promoting their business so they can focus on what they do best.

What You’ll Do:

• Source fresh candidates across LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, job boards, and other recruiting platforms, with a focus on both volume and candidate quality
• Build targeted candidate pipelines using established searches, Boolean strings, and sourcing strategies based on current hiring needs
• Learn our ideal candidate profiles and develop the ability to identify and flag high‑potential candidates for our Recruiting team
• Manage and refresh job postings across recruiting platforms to maintain a consistent flow of applicants
• Prepare and submit offer approvals and help ensure candidates move efficiently through each stage of the hiring process
• Maintain clean, accurate candidate records within Greenhouse, including candidate stages, sources, and other key information
• Support recruiting reporting and pipeline management by tracking sourcing activity, candidate flow, upcoming interviews, offers, and start classes
• Partner closely with Recruiters to understand current pipeline needs, adjust sourcing priorities, and provide additional support where it's needed most
• Take ownership of recurring recruiting projects and processes while continuously learning our systems, hiring standards, and overall recruiting strategy

What You’ll Bring:

• A strong work ethic and the ability to consistently execute in a fast‑paced, high‑volume, metrics‑driven environment
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to balance speed, volume, and quality
• Excellent organization, time management, and follow‑through with the ability to manage multiple priorities at once
• A curious and resourceful mindset with the willingness to dig, experiment, and find creative ways to identify great candidates
• Eagerness to learn what sets apart top performers and to apply strong judgement and candidate screening
• A coachable, growth‑oriented mindset and the ability to quickly apply feedback to your work
• A team‑first attitude, sense of ownership, and willingness to jump in wherever needed to help the Recruiting team reach its goals

What’s In It for You?

• Competitive base salary + bonus opportunities
• 3 weeks PTO + 9 paid holidays (including 2 personal days)
• Volunteer Time Off—give back to your community
• Health, Dental, Vision, and Pet Insurance
• 401(k) with company match + Employee Stock Purchase Plan
• Company‑provided laptop
• Comprehensive training program to help you master your craft
• Opportunities to develop your skills and take on additional responsibility
