Summary

• Conduct initial phone screens and document candidate assessments for hiring managers
• Track pipeline status and candidate flow, keeping requisition data accurate and current
• Build and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates for recurring or hard-to-fill roles
• Support employer branding efforts, including job board presence and candidate communication
• Contribute to recruiting process improvements and serve as a resource to junior recruiting staff as the team grows
• Ensure recruiting practices comply with applicable employment law and OKSI policy

Skills

• Minimum 2 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including experience owning searches independently with limited oversight
• Demonstrated success recruiting for technical, engineering, or otherwise hard-to-fill roles
• Experience managing multiple open requisitions simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Experience with an ATS or HRIS platform (Paylocity experience a plus)
