• Continuously build knowledge of emerging AI tools and apply relevant learnings to improve day-to-day recruiting work.
• Explore and share practical ways AI can strengthen recruiting practices, streamline processes, and improve team efficiency.

• Eagerness to learn, openness to feedback, and the ability to apply coaching and take on greater responsibility over time.
• A proactive and resourceful approach, with the confidence to ask questions, follow up, and move assigned work forward.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and teammates.
