This UR Recruiter will join a team of four individuals who hire, onboard, and support approximately 300 students hired across the US each year. You will assist with high-volume recruiting, attend in-person campus events such as career fairs, and plan events for interns participating in our program. We’re looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas to the team and who is extremely detail oriented.

This position will provide exposure and learning opportunities in relation to a wide array of Human Resources functions, including hiring, retention, compensation, employee engagement, employee relations, and training and development. This is an ideal entry level role for a future HR leader, looking for autonomy and influence within a global organization!

• Hosting orientation and assisting with onboarding.
