As a Recruiting Coordinator, it is important to establish and maintain strong working relationships with recruiters, interviewers, and the Employee Success (HR) department. I served as the primary point of contact for Sales Development, Sales Strategy, and Foundation candidates in all stages of the Salesforce interview process by coordinating interviews for 4 Sr. Recruiters. In addition, I also managed candidate onboarding processes by drafting and administering offer letters through Docusign, initiating background checks, and communicating with the HR department in order to meet urgent and time-sensitive deadlines.
I also led and worked with the Candidate Experience team to help plan, create, and execute ways to creates a high-touch, "best in class" candidate experience. As a a member of the Onboarding team as well, I was involved with improving recruiting coordination processes and the ramp-up of all new team members.
