  • Maintain accurate candidate records and requisition statuses within the applicant tracking system (ATS).
  • Provide regular pipeline updates and status reports to the Talent Acquisition Supervisor.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships throughout the hiring process.
  • Support additional recruiting efforts as needed.
