<li>Track key recruitment metrics, including time-to-fill, source of hire, interview-to-offer ratio, and offer acceptance rate.</li>

<li>Prepare weekly and monthly recruitment reports and dashboards for the Talent Acquisition team and hiring managers.</li>

<li>Support new hires through onboarding, helping them land smoothly in their first weeks.</li>

<li>Contribute to recruitment planning, including research on job titles, compensation benchmarks, and market trends.</li>

<li>Get involved in broader TA initiatives and projects as they come up, gaining exposure to different areas of Talent Acquisition.</li>

</ul>

<h3>What You Bring</h3>
