• Maintain consistent recruiting activity across concurrent searches while preserving candidate quality and follow-through.
• Adjust sourcing strategies as priorities, hiring demand, and labor-market conditions change.
• Develop targeted sourcing plans tied to the position, location, talent market, and required qualifications.
• Identify and engage active and passive candidates using tools and channels such as LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, ATS databases, referrals, professional networks, direct outreach, and approved methods.

• Review applications and run structured screening interviews aligned to each role’s requirements.
• Assess experience, functional knowledge, communication skills, motivation, compensation expectations, work-location requirements, and career interests, including transferable experience from adjacent industries.
• Present qualified candidates with concise, evidence-based summaries covering strengths, motivation, compensation alignment, and items for further assessment.
• Manage candidates through the process: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, feedback, offer communication, pre-employment steps, and disposition.
• Maintain timely, professional communication with candidates throughout recruiting.
• Lead intake conversations to clarify position requirements, business priorities, compensation parameters, and preferred candidate profiles.
• Provide pipeline updates, set realistic market expectations, and follow up for timely interview feedback.
• Recommend strategy or target-profile adjustments when outcomes are not meeting expectations.
• Keep complete, accurate, and compliant candidate and requisition information in the applicant tracking system.
• Track outreach, screenings, submissions, interviews, offers, hires, aging, conversion, and source effectiveness.
• Use recruiting data to spot pipeline gaps, process delays, and improvement opportunities.
