• Being the 1st point of contact for pre-employment screening discrepancies and escalations.
• 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.
