About the Role:
Our client is seeking a Recruiter to lead the end-to-end hiring process.

  • Engage passive candidates through direct outreach and talent mapping.
  • Maintain active presence in talent communities relevant to the industry.

Screening & Assessment:

  • Conduct structured phone/video interviews to assess skills, cultural fit, and career goals.
  • Use behavioral and competency-based questions to evaluate alignment.
  • Administer skills assessments or case studies where required.

Candidate Experience:

  • Manage communication throughout the process — from outreach to offer.
  • Provide timely feedback and ensure candidates feel respected and informed.
  • Serve as the brand ambassador for the client company.

Interview & Selection Support:

  • Coordinate interviews, prepare candidates, and gather hiring team feedback.
  • Facilitate debriefs with managers to align on decisions.
  • Maintain structured evaluation notes in the ATS.

Offer Management & Onboarding:

  • Draft and present offers, negotiate terms, and secure candidate acceptance.
  • Support onboarding processes to ensure smooth transitions.

Reporting & Analytics:

  • Track and report on time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, source effectiveness, and pipeline health.
  • Present weekly/monthly recruitment dashboards to leadership.

Process & Relationship Management:

  • Partner with HR and hiring managers to refine processes and improve hiring efficiency.
  • Ensure compliance with labor and data privacy laws.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit:

  • Excellent communicator and relationship builder.
  • Skilled at balancing speed, quality, and candidate experience.
  • Organized, metrics-driven, and able to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously.
  • Trusted advisor to hiring managers, with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

Required Experience & Skills (Minimum):

  • 2+ years in recruiting, talent acquisition, or staffing.
  • Proficiency with ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, JazzHR, iCIMS).
  • Experience sourcing through LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, and Boolean searches.
  • Strong interview and candidate assessment skills.

Ideal Experience & Skills:

  • Agency or high-volume recruiting background.
  • Industry exposure in SaaS, finance, professional services, or property management.
  • Knowledge of employment law and compliance requirements.
  • Experience managing a team of recruiters or scaling a TA function.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
A Recruiter's day revolves around keeping hiring pipelines full, candidates engaged, and clients aligned. You will:

  • Start the day sourcing candidates for active roles using LinkedIn Recruiter and other platforms.
  • Screen candidates, conducting phone or video interviews and entering structured notes into the ATS.
  • Coordinate interviews, aligning schedules between candidates and hiring teams.
  • Provide client updates on pipeline health, challenges, and market feedback.
  • Maintain candidate experience by sending timely communications, prepping candidates, and ensuring smooth interview logistics.
  • End the day by updating dashboards on pipeline metrics and following up with hiring managers.

In essence: you ensure clients get the right candidates quickly, hiring managers stay confident in the process, and candidates feel respected and supported throughout their journey.

Key Metrics for Success (KPIs):

  • Time-to-fill within client benchmarks.
  • Candidate quality — % advancing past first-round interviews.
  • Candidate satisfaction/experience scores.
  • Hiring manager satisfaction with pipeline and process.
  • 100% compliance in ATS records and reporting.

Interview Process:

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter
  • Practical Task (e.g., build a Boolean search string and source 5 candidates for a sample role)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification
