Key job responsibilities

• Design, document, and continuously optimize recruiting workflows, screening rubrics, selection frameworks.
• Lead and develop a coordinator and contractor support team, setting quality standards and managing workload across the funnel.
• Analyze funnel performance data to identify where candidates stall or drop off, diagnose root causes of conversion fluctuations, and implement process improvements to increase throughput.
• Lead tooling automation and system integration, including screening tools, scheduling systems, and pipeline management platforms, to reduce manual effort and accelerate candidate movement through the funnel.
• Manage third-party vendors, including assessment and screening tools, and hold them accountable to service levels.
• Identify and deploy AI and automation to reduce manual review effort, ensuring tools comply with AI and automated decision-making regulations.
• Communicate funnel performance, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership.
