The Recruiter will manage a moderate requisition load and play an active role in shaping positive candidate and stakeholder experiences.

This role is primarily remote, with quarterly in-office presence required and occasional attendance at in-person recruiting events. Applicants located in Oregon or Washington will be prioritized.

• Build and maintain talent pipelines by engaging past applicants and prospective candidates for future opportunities.
• Collaborate with HR, IT, and facilities partners to support smooth and timely onboarding activities.
• Maintain accurate records and data within recruiting and HR systems, ensuring compliance with applicable employment laws and internal processes.
• Prepare and maintain recruiting metrics, demographic data, and standard or ad-hoc reports as needed.
• Contribute to broader people-related or HR initiatives outside of recruiting as business needs require.

Recruiter Qualifications

• Five or more years of experience managing end-to-end recruiting processes, preferably across a variety of role types.
• Demonstrated experience applying equitable and inclusive recruiting practices throughout the hiring lifecycle.
• Prior in-house recruiting experience is strongly preferred; agency experience is also valued.

• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems; experience working across multiple ATS platforms is highly desirable.
• Strong relationship-building skills with a customer-service mindset and the ability to work effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
• Proactive, self-directed approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities and requisitions simultaneously.
• Excellent organizational, time-management, and follow-through skills.
• Clear and professional verbal and written communication skills.
• Comfortable working with data, maintaining accurate records, and using reporting tools to support recruiting efforts.
