• Ensure meticulous record-keeping and data accuracy within the applicant tracking system (ATS), leveraging pipeline data for informed decision-making and reporting.
• Innovate and implement advanced methods for attracting diverse talent by exploring new sourcing channels, outreach techniques, and AI-driven workflows.

• Exhibit a strong sense of ownership, managing requisitions from initiation to completion and focusing on outcomes like hires, time-to-fill, and quality of hire.
• Experience recruiting for high-growth SaaS companies, trust & safety, fraud, or risk-related sectors is a plus.
