Requirements

Experience Needed/Responsibilities:

THE ROLE

The CRM & Search Operations Coordinator will be responsible for the organization, accuracy and day-to-day management of Parade’s Bullhorn database and the operational support behind our active recruiting and executive-search work.

Parade has developed a substantial network of architecture and design professionals over more than two decades.

Your first major objective will be helping us transform that database into a cleaner, better organized and significantly more useful business asset.

At the same time, you will support current searches, maintain active candidate information, coordinate recruiting activity and ensure new information is consistently captured and organized.

This is not a sales position.

It is not a commission-based recruiter role.

The ideal person loves organization, systems, accuracy and getting things done.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

1. BULLHORN DATABASE MANAGEMENT + CLEANUP

Take ownership of the day-to-day quality of Parade’s Bullhorn CRM/ATS.

Responsibilities include:

- Audit existing candidate and company records.

- Identify and merge duplicate profiles.

- Standardize titles, disciplines, sectors, locations and classifications.

- Update outdated candidate information.

- Maintain current company and title information.

- Add and update LinkedIn profiles.

- Update contact information.

- Add current résumés and portfolios.

- Identify records requiring updated information.

- Maintain company records.

- Correct inconsistent or incomplete data.

- Preserve historical notes and relationship information.

- Apply Parade’s standardized database taxonomy.

- Track when priority profiles were last verified.

- Maintain consistent data-entry standards.

- Prevent duplicate and poorly structured records from being created going forward.

The objective is not simply to “clean the database.”

It is to ensure Parade’s accumulated relationships and information become increasingly valuable over time.

2. EXISTING NETWORK ENRICHMENT

Parade has relationships with professionals whose careers have evolved considerably since they first entered our network.

You will help identify and update those individuals.

This may include researching:

- Current employer

- Current title

- Location

- Career progression

- Professional credentials

- LinkedIn

- Portfolio

- Contact information

- Updated résumé

- Relevant sector expertise

Particular attention will be paid to individuals who have advanced into senior leadership positions.

⸻

3. CURRENT NEW YORK MARKET MAINTENANCE

Parade has deep roots within New York’s architecture and design community.

You will help maintain the quality and depth of that existing network by:

- Adding relevant new professionals.

- Updating existing professionals as they move between firms.

- Maintaining accurate company records.

- Recording promotions and career changes.

- Maintaining current candidate pipelines.

- Identifying stale records requiring updates.

- Supporting candidate re-engagement initiatives.

- Keeping the database current as the market evolves.

While New York will initially represent a major portion of this work, the responsibility will ultimately extend to all established Parade markets.

4. ACTIVE SEARCH OPERATIONS

Support Parade’s founder throughout current recruiting and executive-search assignments.
