ASSOCIATE RECRUITER JOB DESCRIPTION

An Associate Recruiter is the person responsible for moving a candidate from first contact to accepted offer. The role sits within a talent acquisition or HR function, typically supporting multiple hiring managers across departments and geographic locations, and is accountable for the full requisition-to-onboarding pipeline for both non-exempt and exempt positions. Employer brand stewardship, ATS data integrity, and candidate experience scores are measured directly against this seat. What makes it demanding is the volume: managing concurrent requisitions across functional areas while maintaining the quality threshold that hiring managers expect from every shortlist.

As the Associate Recruiter, you own the sourcing, screening, and coordination work that converts open requisitions into hired employees across non-exempt and exempt roles, partnering with HR Business Partners and hiring managers to keep talent pipelines current and compliant. You operate within a talent acquisition team, reporting to a Recruiting Manager or Talent Acquisition lead, and serve as the primary candidate-facing contact from application review through offer acceptance.

Career Impact: Experience managing concurrent requisitions across exempt and non-exempt classifications builds a sourcing and assessment foundation that transfers directly into Senior Recruiter or Talent Acquisition Partner roles.

Business Impact: Hiring delays cost organizations measurably in productivity and backfill expense; the Associate Recruiter is the person who closes that gap by maintaining qualified pipelines for critical and repeat positions.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to full-cycle recruitment across multiple business units, combined with hands-on employer brand and sourcing strategy work, accelerates the path toward owning a full talent acquisition portfolio independently.

• Source qualified candidates across job boards, social networks, employee referrals, community organizations, and direct outreach to build diverse and current talent pipelines.
• Screen applicants through resume review and structured phone interviews to assess qualifications, culture alignment, and organizational fit before advancing candidates.

• Partner with HR Business Partners and hiring managers to develop sourcing strategies for both urgent requisitions and longer-horizon pipeline roles.
• Administer pre-employment steps including reference checks, background check initiation, and offer letter coordination in line with company policies and employment law.
• Represent the employer brand at job fairs, campus events, and community recruiting functions to attract candidates and grow the talent network.
• Support employment activity reporting and contribute to process improvement projects that strengthen the overall recruiting operation.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

• Experience working in a dual-desk or agency environment where both candidate development and client or hiring manager service were concurrent responsibilities.
• Familiarity with diversity sourcing strategies and inclusive hiring practices, including community organization partnerships and diverse job board utilization.

• Requisition fill rate, measuring the percentage of assigned openings closed within the target time-to-fill window.
• Time-to-fill per requisition, tracking days from approved requisition to accepted offer across the assigned portfolio.
• Candidate pipeline depth, measured as qualified active candidates per open role relative to hiring manager-agreed minimums.
• ATS data completion rate, reflecting accuracy and timeliness of candidate record updates and workflow stage documentation.
• Offer acceptance rate, indicating how well candidate qualification, expectation-setting, and compensation alignment were managed.
• Hiring manager satisfaction score, collected post-hire, measuring the quality and responsiveness of recruiting support received.
• Typical tools: applicant tracking systems (commonly iCIMS, Workday, or SuccessFactors); candidate sourcing platforms (commonly LinkedIn Recruiter or job board aggregators).

• Base Salary Range: $45,000 to $62,000 annually, varying by market and company size.
• Bonus: discretionary annual bonus of 5% to 10% of base, often tied to hiring goal attainment.
