About the Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who wants to be at the center of how we build our company. This isn’t a behind-the-scenes coordination role; it’s the connective tissue of our entire hiring operation.

You’ll work directly with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates to make sure every step of the process runs smoothly and every person who walks through our door has a great experience. You’ll own our recruiting systems, keep our data sharp, and help shape the programs that make our talent function best-in-class.

If you love bringing order to complexity, sweat the details without losing sight of the bigger picture, and take real pride in making people feel taken care of; this role was built for you. You’ll be partnering across the business from day one, with high visibility and plenty of room to grow.

Responsibilities

• Recruiting Coordination
  • Build and manage requisitions in Greenhouse, keeping our ATS organized and audit-ready.
  • Create and maintain interview plans, assessment libraries, and candidate-facing materials for every open role.
  • Configure application questions, stage transitions, and automated notifications so the process runs itself.
  • Prepare offer letters, NDAs, and recruiting documentation with precision and professionalism.
• TA Operations
  • Own recruiting reporting, both manual and automated, and keep the data clean enough to trust.

  • Manage agency relationships, lists, and onboarding documentation.
• Candidate Experience

  • Arrange candidate travel and logistics, including flights, hotels, and day-of support, so every visit is seamless.
  • Serve as the warm, professional face of Skillz throughout the interview process.
  • Communicate clearly and promptly with candidates, recruiters, and executive admins at every stage.
• Sourcing & Program Support
  • Keep candidate pipelines clean and organized in Greenhouse so recruiters can move fast.
  • Maintain CRM tagging systems to support talent pools and future outreach.
  • Assist with sourcing on LinkedIn and other tools to build pipeline where needed.
  • Support talent programs like the Co-Op and HR Leadership Program (scheduling, comms, logistics, and coordination).
