The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

• Work with client stakeholders and internal reviewers to turn demand into staffing plans and make sure candidates pass review.
• Screen high volumes of applicants quickly against eligibility criteria, combining software tools with sound judgment.
• Oversee onboarding from contract signing through training to first assignment, and follow up with anyone who stalls.
• Answer questions from active contributors and handle changes in project scope.
• Track activation, acceptance and hours, keep trackers accurate, and report on pipeline health and program delivery.

What we're looking for

• Around a year or so of practical background in large-scale recruiting or delivering programs, with real results weighted above time in role.
• Direct experience working with clients.
• Evidence of managing large groups of people, bringing in and orienting many contributors in parallel while keeping standards high.
• Comfort in a fast-moving startup where scopes shift often and many trackers and stakeholders need attention.
• Proficiency with recruiting software, applicant tracking systems and spreadsheets.
