About this role
GiveDirectly is hiring two exceptional Coordinators to join our growing People Team. If you’re passionate about building world-class employee experiences and want to be part of a mission-driven organization that cares for its people, this is the role for you.
As a Coordinator, you’ll play a critical role in enabling our People function to scale its impact. Whether you're supporting the end-to-end hiring process, or ensuring smooth and consistent People Operations for our global team, your work will directly contribute to making GiveDirectly an outstanding place to work.
While we’re not necessarily looking for candidates with concrete experience in Recruitment, we are looking for detail-oriented problem-solvers who love to create structure, move quickly, and take pride in delivering high-quality work. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re energized by operational excellence, love collaborating across teams, and bring a strong sense of ownership to your work.
Reporting lines:
The Recruitment Coordinators will report to the Recruitment Manager
Level: Coordinator
Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel ~1-2 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits
The Recruitment Coordinator will:
Find top talent: Proactively source, attract, and engage a diverse, high-quality candidate pipeline, internally and externally, and convince them to join the team
Review CVs, conduct interviews, and coordinate schedules: Serve as the face of the organization as candidates' first point of contact, providing a seamless and supportive hiring experience
Operationalize a streamlined, first-class talent acquisition process: Build and continuously improve the talent acquisition process, including providing high quality support and communications to both candidates and hiring teams
Field and quickly close support tickets: Respond to all inbound inquiries, requests, and complaints via the People Team Ticketing System regarding recruitment requests, meeting SLAs
Contribute to recruiting initiatives focused on equity, process improvement, and team enablement
