- Proactively identify and solve day-of issues, including last-minute changes or scheduling conflicts
- Communicate clearly and promptly with candidates and internal teams about interview logistics and updates
- Provide any ad hoc support for events, meetings, etc. beyond interviews.
What we’re looking for
- BA/BS degree or equivalent experience
- 1+ years of recruiting coordination experience in-house at a tech company, especially at a fast-paced company

- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to solve ambiguous problems and thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Personable and warm—you're great at making candidates feel welcome and supported
