Part-Time Junior Recruiter

About Bedrock Talent

At Bedrock Talent, we’re intentional about the companies we represent. We partner primarily with early- and growth-stage startups, working closely with founders and hiring leaders to build thoughtful, high-performing teams.

We’re a small, hands-on recruiting firm, which means everyone contributes in meaningful ways. We care deeply about doing excellent work, treating candidates with respect, and creating organized, human hiring experiences.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an early-career recruiter or sourcer to support candidate sourcing, application review, interview coordination, recruiting administration, and special operational projects.

This is a great opportunity for someone with one to two years of recruiting, sourcing, or recruiting coordination experience who wants broader exposure to the full recruiting process. You’ll work across multiple searches and clients while learning how a small recruiting business operates behind the scenes.

The right person is organized, thoughtful, comfortable working independently, and genuinely enjoys keeping people and processes moving.

Application Review

• Review inbound applications across multiple roles and clients

• Evaluate candidates against clearly defined role requirements

• Identify strong potential fits and flag profiles for further review

• Maintain consistent and accurate candidate records in our applicant tracking systems

• Help ensure every applicant receives a timely and respectful response

Sourcing

• Research and identify potential candidates using LinkedIn, sourcing platforms, professional communities, and other tools

• Build targeted candidate lists based on role requirements

• Personalize and send candidate outreach

• Track outreach activity, responses, and follow-ups

• Support talent-mapping projects for current and future searches

Coordination and Recruiting Administration

• Coordinate interviews across candidates, clients, and internal stakeholders

• Manage scheduling changes, confirmations, and follow-up communication

• Keep applicant tracking systems and recruiting trackers accurate and up to date

• Draft candidate communications and assist with process updates

• Help move candidates smoothly through each stage of the interview process

Operational and Special Projects

• Support recruiting operations projects designed to improve efficiency and organization

• Help build templates, trackers, interview materials, and internal documentation

• Assist with data cleanup, reporting, and process audits

• Research and test recruiting tools or workflows

• Jump into other projects as business and client needs evolve

What We’re Looking For

• One to two years of experience in recruiting, talent sourcing, recruiting coordination, or a related role

• Strong organizational skills and close attention to detail

• Clear, warm, and professional written communication

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and follow through without constant oversight

• Comfort learning and using applicant tracking systems, LinkedIn, spreadsheets, and recruiting technology

• Sound judgment when reviewing candidate backgrounds and handling confidential information

• A proactive mindset—you notice what needs to be done and help move it forward

• Genuine respect and empathy for candidates navigating the job-search process

Nice to Have

• Experience working with startups or recruiting agencies

• Experience sourcing technical, product, go-to-market, or healthcare candidates

• Familiarity with tools such as Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn Recruiter, or other sourcing platforms

• Experience drafting personalized candidate outreach

• Interest in recruiting operations and improving internal processes

What Success Looks Like

• Candidate and recruiting data is consistently accurate and organized

• Interviews are scheduled smoothly, with clear communication for everyone involved

• Applications are reviewed thoughtfully and on time

• Sourcing projects produce relevant, well-researched candidates

• Follow-ups and administrative details do not fall through the cracks

• You gradually take on more ownership as you learn our clients, roles, and processes
