Talent Edge Recruiting | High-Growth Opportunity | Career Path to Recruiter
Are You the Person Who's Always Two Steps Ahead?
Are you naturally organized, incredibly resourceful, and the person everyone relies on to keep things moving?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, anticipate needs before they're communicated, and love finding smarter, more efficient ways to get things done?
What if your next opportunity wasn't just a job, but the beginning of a career in recruiting?
Talent Edge Recruiting is growing, and we're looking for a dynamic, highly motivated Recruiting Coordinator who is ready to make an immediate impact while building toward a long-term career in talent acquisition. We're a growing staffing and recruiting firm specializing in Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Administration, Marketing, Construction, Manufacturing, Technical, and Skilled Trades.
Our success is built on relationships, collaboration, and delivering exceptional experiences for our clients and candidates. We're looking for someone who brings a combination of exceptional communication, strong writing skills, tech-savviness, creativity, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Managing Director of Recruitment, you'll play an essential role in supporting our recruiting operations while gaining firsthand exposure to the staffing and recruiting industry. You'll provide dedicated support to three Senior Recruiters while managing company-wide recruiting activities for our broader team of 10+ recruiters.
This is a highly visible position where you'll work closely with senior leadership, learn from experienced recruiters, and help improve the processes that support our continued growth.
The best part? This position is designed with growth in mind. We're looking for someone who wants to build a career in recruiting. As you develop your skills, gain industry knowledge, and demonstrate success, our goal is to provide the training, mentorship, and hands-on experience needed to transition into a full-cycle recruiting role.
What You'll Do
- Provide dedicated recruiting and administrative support to three Senior Recruiters.
- Coordinate interviews between candidates, clients, and internal recruiting teams.
- Manage interview scheduling, confirmations, rescheduling, and follow-up communication.
- Ensure candidates and clients receive accurate interview details, instructions, and timely updates.
- Proactively anticipate scheduling needs, identify conflicts, and resolve issues before they become problems.
- Maintain organized tracking systems to ensure interviews, confirmations, and follow-ups are completed without delays.
- Write, format, and publish compelling client job advertisements across LinkedIn, job boards, and other recruiting platforms.
- Ensure all job postings are polished, engaging, accurate, and aligned with client expectations.
- Manage job posting updates, edits, renewals, and closures across the organization.
- Own and complete candidate reference checks for recruiters company-wide.
- Document reference check findings and communicate results clearly and professionally.
- Maintain accurate candidate records, recruiting activity, and documentation within our ATS.
- Support additional recruiting projects and operational needs across our team of 10+ recruiters.
Process Improvement & Creative Problem-Solving
- Identify opportunities to streamline recruiting workflows, scheduling processes, and administrative operations.
- Leverage technology, automation, and recruiting tools to improve team efficiencies.
- Think creatively and bring fresh ideas for improving internal processes and candidate experiences.
- Anticipate team needs, recognize potential bottlenecks, and proactively recommend solutions.
- Partner with the Managing Director of Recruitment on special projects and operational initiatives.
- Help build scalable processes that support our continued growth.
- Shadow experienced Senior Recruiters to learn the full-cycle recruiting process.
- Develop an understanding of sourcing strategies, candidate screening, interview techniques, and client expectations.
- Gain exposure to multiple industries, job functions, and recruiting specialties.
- Participate in ongoing training, coaching, and professional development.
- Gradually take on additional recruiting responsibilities as skills and experience develop.
- Build the foundation to transition into a full-cycle Recruiter position as you demonstrate readiness and opportunities become available.
What We're Looking For
Qualifications & Skills
- Previous experience in recruiting coordination, talent acquisition support, staffing, or a fast-paced administrative environment preferred.
- Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to create polished, professional, and engaging content.
- Outstanding verbal communication skills and confidence interacting with candidates, clients, and internal stakeholders.
- Highly tech-savvy with the ability to quickly learn new platforms, systems, and recruiting technologies.
