• Track hiring activity, applicant flow, referral participation, and other recruiting metrics.
• Explore new recruiting technology, including AI-enabled sourcing and workflow tools, to improve efficiency.

Onboarding and HR Support

• Coordinate onboarding details and provide new employees with clear information regarding orientation, training, and their first day.
• Arrange the practical components of a new hire’s setup, including workspace, technology access, communication tools, uniforms, and related materials.
• Support employee transfers, relocations, and other internal workforce changes.
• Coordinate travel arrangements for employees and business leaders, including transportation and lodging.
• Schedule and document stay interviews and exit interviews.
• Maintain materials and schedules for leadership-development and management-training programs.
• Help coordinate internal instructor-certification and training sessions, including supplies, materials, and participant communication.
• Work with field leadership and support teams to keep training activities organized and aligned with operational needs.
• Track expenses associated with training programs and assist with invoice review and coding.
• Support annual compensation and market-data projects.

• Experience managing multiple open positions, deadlines, and stakeholder relationships at the same time.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organization, follow-through, and attention to detail.
• Comfort working with applicant tracking systems, recruiting platforms, and standard office technology.
• Professional judgment and discretion when handling employee and candidate information.
• A personable, service-oriented approach when interacting with applicants, new hires, employees, and managers.
