About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own interview scheduling end to end: multi-interviewer panels, confirmations, reschedules, and debriefs
  • Host candidates onsite: greet them, keep loops running on time, and make sure every candidate leaves with a strong impression of Kaizen, offer or not
  • Deliver a white-glove candidate experience end to end, from first schedule through offer logistics
  • Keep ATS data clean and trustworthy: accurate stages, complete data, postings current across platforms
  • Prep interviewers with plans and scorecards so every loop is structured and every debrief moves fast
  • Pitch in on sourcing and shadow the recruiting team as you ramp, building toward more ownership over time
  • Find and fix manual, repetitive work in the recruiting process, including where AI tools can take it over

What You'll Bring

  • 0-2 years of experience in recruiting coordination, talent ops, executive/administrative support, customer-facing work, or another high-volume operations role, or equivalent experience
  • Real calendar management skill: you can schedule a 4-person panel across busy schedules without breaking a sweat
  • Obsessive attention to detail, especially with candidate data and communications
  • Genuine warmth hosting people in person
  • High ownership and bias toward action: you fix what's broken, you don't wait to be told

Strong Candidates May Also...

  • Have hands-on Ashby experience, or have built workflows in a comparable ATS
  • Have sourced candidates or built talent lists, or want to grow into it
  • Have used AI tools or automation to eliminate repetitive work
  • Have worked at an early-stage startup where they built process rather than inherited it
