OpenGov is seeking a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join its People team in Atlanta. You will own the operational and candidate-facing side of recruiting, serving as the central coordinator for interview logistics, candidate experience, and TA systems while championing employer brand and AI adoption across the function.
Key responsibilities include:
**Interview Coordination & Candidate Experience**: End-to-end ownership of interview scheduling across all stages (phone screens, panels, executive conversations, final rounds), coordinating with speed and care. You'll be the primary point of contact for candidates through interview and offer processes, providing timely communication, setting expectations, and coordinating offer logistics including approval initiation, background checks, and pre-boarding handoffs. You'll exercise independent judgment to resolve scheduling conflicts and last-minute changes.
**TA Systems & Programs**: Own the accuracy and hygiene of Ashby (the ATS), ensuring candidate records, requisition statuses, and pipeline data are consistently up to date and audit-ready. Support administration and continuous improvement of TA tools, workflows, and SOPs by identifying gaps and contributing to rollouts. Build and maintain recruiting reports and dashboards surfacing pipeline metrics, time-to-fill, and coordination SLAs. Support TA programs including employee referrals, university recruiting, career fair coordination, and outcome tracking.
**Employer Brand**: Create and publish employer brand content across LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and the OpenGov careers site, including employee spotlights, team stories, culture posts, and milestone moments. Conduct employee interviews and translate stories into authentic, compelling content. Partner with Marketing to ensure TA content aligns with broader brand voice. Monitor employer brand channels, track engagement and Glassdoor ratings, and surface insights to inform strategy. Support TA events, best places to work submissions, and candidate-facing merchandise.
**AI Enablement**: Champion AI adoption across the TA team, modeling effective use of AI-powered recruiting tools. Help build and maintain TA resources such as prompt guides, tool tutorials, and workflow templates. Share feedback on new tools and track adoption and impact.
