  • Working with 3rd party providers to ensure screenings are completed within service level agreements.
  • Partnering with the Hiring Operations team to manage vendor relationships for Coordination-specific tools such as GoodTime, Enboarder and Security Watchdog.
  • Supporting the Hiring Operations team, wider hiring team & People Collective with ad-hoc tasks and projects, to make our people processes run like clockwork.
  • Representing Hiring Coordinators in internal and external audits and control testing.
  • Hiring Coordination for sensitive or confidential roles, and to cover team absence as required.

  • Voluntary. And we've included a "prefer not to say" option for every question.
