Talent Acquisition Coordinator
We are open to applicants anywhere in the Americas.
Metalab’s hiring team is scaling, and our inbound recruiting pipeline needs some serious love. We’re looking for a detail-obsessed, tech-curious Talent Coordinator to join us on a 6-month contract and help bring structure, clarity, and a touch of delight to our applicant tracking system (ATS).
You’ll be the first touchpoint for candidates who want to work with us — organizing, assessing, and shepherding inbound applications to the right places, while spotting great talent (especially in design and tech). This is an incredible opportunity to understand how we hire world-class product designers and strategists, and to grow into a full-cycle recruiting role over time.
What You’ll Do
Own the front door of Metalab’s hiring funnel: triaging inbound applications across roles, ensuring timely responses, and maintaining an organized ATS.
Collaborate with Recruiters and Hiring Managers to understand hiring priorities, job requirements, and the nuances of great product design and technology talent.
Identify strong candidates from inbound flow and ensure they’re set up for success through the process.
Support sourcing efforts for roles across Product Design, Engineering, Product Management, and Operations.
Spot and fix inefficiencies in the ATS workflow. You’ll help us streamline, tag, and surface candidates more intelligently.
Support scheduling, candidate communications, and interview logistics with warmth and precision.
Contribute to an exceptional candidate experience, ensuring every touchpoint reflects Metalab’s creative, human-centered culture.
Prepare and post open roles, ensuring all external job boards and our careers page are up to date. Track metrics and pull hiring data to support reporting and decision-making. Jump in where needed — this is a small, mighty team, and you’ll flex between coordination, sourcing, and project support as priorities shift.
What You Bring
Experience working in a recruiting, talent coordination, or People Ops capacity (agency or in-house).
Comfort with recruiting tools (ATS, scheduling platforms, sourcing extensions, etc.) and a knack for organizing information cleanly.
Detail-oriented, with a natural drive to bring structure and clarity to complex processes.
A genuine interest in product design, technology, and the creative world. You “get” what good design looks like and love talking to people who make it.
Clear, human communication skills and a thoughtful, candidate-first mindset.
A proactive attitude: you don’t wait for tasks; you see opportunities to improve and dive in.
A love of details: tracking moving pieces and keeping things tidy in a fast-paced environment.
Why You’ll Love It Here
Work with a globally distributed, deeply creative team.
Learn how to hire exceptional design and tech talent alongside some of the best in the business.
Flex your systems and process muscles — you’ll have autonomy to make things smoother.
Potential to grow into a full-cycle recruiter role.
