Your day-to-day routine will change often as hiring priorities shift, but there is a basic set of activities you can expect to run with daily and weekly, including, but not limited to: 

• Meet with market groups to discuss headcount, new requisitions, hiring strategy, and/or interview feedback – you truly act as a partner to your clients and not merely as an order taker. 
• Screen candidates who apply.  
• Source candidates – often the best candidates are the ones not actively looking! 
• Discuss candidates you have screened with your market groups and recommend top candidates for interviews. 
• Arrange and provide tours and share tidbits to interested candidates –showcase all the exciting things going on at MG2!  
• May attend interviews alongside market groups to act as another set of eyes and ears in evaluating candidates. 
• Once candidates are approved for hire, initiate the HR onboarding process to include overseeing offer packages and negotiations including extending offer letters, and queuing new hire paperwork – you'll have plenty of support from the HR team and from payroll and benefits departments to make this process supported and as seamless as possible. 

Some days you will have multiple candidates scheduled for interviews virtually and or in-person and you will ensure things run smoothly and support a positive candidate experience. Other days, you will need to fill your candidate pipeline and will spend the majority of the day networking, cold calling, passive and active screening/sourcing candidates, following up with hiring teams and managers for next steps, and overseeing offers and negotiations are timely and efficient. Some days will be working with universities, improving our internship opportunities and process, and aligning our program to best capture quality 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 hire of the most talented individuals fostering growth to further our firm goals!
