If you thrive on structure, checklists, and keeping things organized, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do
Pipeline Management
•Review incoming Upwork applications and organize candidates by stage: Applied → Screening → Assignment → Interview → Offer → Active → Rejected
• Maintain real-time recruiting trackers in ClickUp (no lost or untracked applicants)
• Tag candidates by role, skill profile, and evaluation status
• Ensure each candidate record has accurate notes, status, and next action
Interview Coordination
• Schedule interviews, send calendar invites and Zoom links, confirm attendance, manage reschedules, and send reminders
• Goal: the Director of Recruiting never touches interview logistics
Candidate Communications
• Send structured messages using approved templates: acknowledgements, interview instructions, assignment requests, follow-ups, status updates, and professional rejections
• Maintain a consistent, professional candidate experience at every touchpoint
Interview Documentation & Records
• Organize interview recordings and transcripts (when required)
• Prepare brief interview summaries and maintain evaluation notes
• Keep structured records so every serious candidate has a documented history
Assignment & Assessment Tracking

• Flag noncompliance (late, incomplete, incorrect format) with clear notes
Job Post Management
• Publish and refresh job postings on Upwork
• Monitor applicant flow, respond to basic inquiries, and flag strong candidates for review
Talent Database Development
• Tag and maintain records of promising candidates for future roles
• Build a reusable talent pipeline the organization can draw from as we scale
Process Support
• Maintain and update recruiting templates, checklists, and workflow documentation
• Support ongoing improvements to our hiring infrastructure as we grow
