About the Role

We’re looking for a fast, highly organized contract Resume Reviewer to help us evaluate candidates at scale. In this role, you’ll play a key part in matching our Fellows to project opportunities by reviewing a high volume of resumes per day, assessing candidate qualifications and fit, and making clear, confident judgements that align with client and project needs.

This is a high-throughput role. You'll be expected to hit daily review targets, keep pace with a fast-moving pipeline, and make sound calls quickly. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders, but spend most of your time heads-down, screening candidates effectively and accurately.

Required

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in sourcing or recruiting (recruiting coordination alone or hiring experience as a hiring manager in a non-recruiting role will not qualify)

• 1+ years experience using Google Suite tools such as Sheets and Docs

• Comfortable working against daily review targets and turnaround time expectations

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to maintain accuracy while working at speed

• Ability to make informed decisions quickly without over-deliberating

Extra Credit

• Experience screening at scale in a high-volume recruiting, staffing, or sourcing environment

• Experience hiring across a variety of industries and functional roles.

• Demonstrated ability to identify process improvements and recommend workflows that increase speed and efficiency.

Location & Work Expectations

• Must be based in the US (West Coast only)

• No visa sponsorship available
