• Proficient in ATS systems (e.g., Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Breezy).
• Strong experience using LinkedIn Recruiter or other platforms for proactive sourcing.
• Excellent resume screening and candidate vetting skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — clear, thoughtful, and professional.
• Comfortable working in Google Sheets, Excel, and G Suite tools.
