This role is pivotal in driving Pearl Talent's placement success by managing the end-to-end recruitment process, from sourcing and screening to endorsement and placement.

Your Impact

Your core impact lies in:

• Driving successful placements by aligning top talent with client needs and refining recruitment processes
• Accelerating hiring timelines by identifying and resolving bottlenecks in collaboration with clients and the recruitment team
• Proactively addressing challenges by implementing strategies that streamline workflows and improve efficiency
• Reducing churn by maintaining strong relationships and quickly resolving client or candidate concerns
• Enhancing outcomes through data-driven insights, feedback loops, and process improvements to maximize successful placements

Areas of Responsibility:

Recruitment Process Management

• Role Preparation
• Build out job descriptions (JDs) based on the Statement of Work (SoW).
• Attend client success calls (client <> rec calibration) to gather key role details and other expectations needed for the hiring.
• Pipeline Management
• Monitor pipelines for all owned roles, flag dry pipelines, and coordinate with the Sourcing Specialist to shift sourcing focus as needed.
• Personally source candidates for roles if pipelines remain dry (reduced when sourcers are available).
• Post high-priority roles on relevant job boards (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter for Lat-Am and tech hiring; Juicebox for finance roles) and link to Workable.
• Candidate Screening
• Conduct prescreening through voice notes for all candidates.
• Use topgrading techniques to confirm candidate agreements, including role expectations.
• Administer client-specific assessments to ensure alignment with role requirements.
• Candidate Profiling and Endorsement
• Create detailed candidate profiles on ClickUp. For DP roles, exclude salary range from profiles.
• Ensure all profilers meet high-quality standards, including clear content, accurate information, and polished video introductions.
• Endorse completed profilers to the Matching Lead for final approval.

Client Communication & Relationship Management

• Updates and Check-Ins
• Check with the CS/Matching team if updates haven’t been sent to clients within 24 hours of receiving new information.
• Ensure regular updates to clients on pipeline progress, candidate endorsements, and next steps.
• Marketing Coordination
• Work with the marketing team to create public materials (pubmats) and social media posts for owned roles.
• Feedback Management
• Respond to all candidate inquiries promptly, keeping them warm and engaged throughout the process.
• Collect client feedback on candidate profiles, interviews, and overall satisfaction.

Quality Assurance & Process Optimization

• Churn Prevention
• Proactively monitor candidate and client satisfaction to identify risks early.
• Resolve any concerns immediately to ensure placements are successful and long-lasting.
• Maintain clear communication with both candidates and clients to avoid misunderstandings.
• Process Optimization
• Regularly review and refine recruitment workflows to eliminate inefficiencies.
• Implement best practices and share them with team members to enhance team performance.
