Source candidates – often the best candidates are the ones not actively looking
Discuss candidates you have screened with your client groups and recommend top candidates for interviews
Give tours to candidates before their onsite
Attend interviews alongside your client groups to act as another set of eyes and ears in evaluating candidates
Once candidates are approved for hire, you will begin the offer process including initiating background checks, negotiating offer packages and extending offer letters
Some days you will have multiple candidates coming onsite for interviews and you will spend that time giving tours and coordinating the candidate experience. Other days, you will need to fill your candidate pipeline and will spend the majority of the day screening/sourcing candidates. No day is the same here and the pace moves fast, but ultimately your job is to effectively attract, organize, and manage the flow of the country’s most talented individuals.
