Role Overview

About the Role

We are looking for a highly proactive, execution-oriented Talent Acquisition Specialist who can independently drive the recruitment process from candidate sourcing through interview coordination and pre-screening.

This is not a passive coordination role. The ideal candidate should be comfortable taking ownership, moving quickly, following up without being asked, identifying bottlenecks, and keeping hiring managers and candidates aligned throughout the process.

You will work across technical and non-technical hiring, supporting multiple roles simultaneously and ensuring candidates move efficiently through every stage of the hiring funnel.

What You’ll Own

Candidate Sourcing & Pipeline Building

- Source qualified candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, databases, referrals,



and other channels.
- Proactively build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
- Identify candidates who meet both the technical requirements and cultural/behavioral expectations of the role.
- Conduct targeted LinkedIn research rather than relying only on inbound applicants.
- Continuously experiment with sourcing strategies to improve candidate quality and response rates.

Interview Pre-Screening

- Conduct structured initial screening calls with candidates.
- Evaluate candidates against defined role requirements, experience, communication, motivation, compensation expectations, availability, and overall fit.
- For technical positions, understand technical requirements well enough to conduct an effective first-level technical screening and identify whether a candidate should progress to the technical interview.
- For non-technical roles, assess functional experience, problem-solving ability, communication, ownership, and relevant behavioral competencies.
- Prepare concise and objective candidate summaries for hiring managers.

Interview Scheduling & Coordination

- Own the end-to-end interview scheduling process.
- Coordinate calendars across candidates, recruiters, interviewers, and hiring managers.
- Ensure interviews are scheduled quickly and accurately.
- Proactively follow up on pending feedback and prevent candidates from getting stuck at any stage.
- Maintain explicit communication with candidates before, during, and after interviews.




- Handle reschedules, cancellations, no-shows, and last-minute changes professionally.

Recruitment Process Ownership

- Track every candidate through the recruitment funnel and maintain accurate ATS/CRM records.
- Identify delays, bottlenecks, and drop-offs and take action without waiting for instructions.
- Maintain regular communication with hiring managers regarding pipeline quality and hiring progress.
- Follow up aggressively but professionally with candidates and stakeholders.
- Ensure no qualified candidate is lost due to poor follow-up or coordination.
- Support offer coordination and candidate closure when required.

Technical + Non-Technical Hiring You should be comfortable recruiting across both technical and non-technical functions.

Experience hiring for roles such as:

- Software / Technology
- IT / Systems
- Automation
- Data / Analytics
- Operations
- Finance
- Sales
- Marketing
- HR
- Executive / Administrative
- Customer Success
- Business Development

What We Are Looking For Must-Have

- 2–5 years of hands-on Talent Acquisition / Recruitment experience.
- Strong experience with LinkedIn sourcing and proactive candidate outreach.
- Experience conducting candidate pre-screening interviews.
- Experience coordinating multiple interview stages.
- Experience hiring for both technical and non-technical positions.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Excellent follow-up and stakeholder management skills.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple open positions simultaneously.
- Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
- Strong ownership mentality — you see a problem and act on it rather than waiting to be told what to do.
- Comfortable working with recruitment metrics, ATS/CRM systems, spreadsheets, and hiring trackers.
