Recruiting Coordinator

At EdSights, we're building the technology for higher education to understand what students are actually thinking and feeling, so they can act before small struggles become big problems. We call it Student Voice Intelligence: engaging students in real-time, AI-powered conversations, uncovering the real drivers of attrition, and delivering those insights to power student success and enrollment workflows. Today, we partner with 300+ colleges and universities across the country. We're backed by an $80M investment from JMI Equity and are in a phase of rapid execution and expansion. This is an opportunity to do meaningful, hands-on work at a high-growth startup tackling one of higher education's most urgent challenges: helping more students persist from enrollment through graduation. You’ll join a driven, thoughtful team that values ownership, moves quickly, and cares deeply about building products that make a measurable difference for students. “EdSights has perhaps the world’s most valuable data set on what college students need to navigate their academic lives.” - The Washington Post The Role We’re looking for a highly organized and people-centered Recruiting Coordinator to help us build exceptional teams. In this role, you’ll ensure our candidates have a thoughtful, seamless experience while enabling our team to move quickly and effectively. You’ll work closely with our Head of Talent, hiring managers, and candidates, managing interview logistics, improving processes, and representing EdSights with care and professionalism at every touchpoint. Note: We will close applications for this role on Wed, May 27th. All applications will be reviewed after that date. What You’ll Do Deliver a thoughtful, engaging candidate journey that reflects EdSights’ culture, pace, and high bar for talent. Coordinate interviews across multiple roles and time zones, managing scheduling with speed and accuracy. Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates throughout the interview process, ensuring a welcoming, responsive, and consistently excellent experience. Stay on top of details in Ashby (ATS), making sure candidate records, feedback, and notes are accurate and up to date. Assist in building and maintaining Ashby automations, interview kits, scorecards, and workflows that reduce manual work and tighten our process. Support the talent acquisition team with job postings, application reviews, and candidate pipeline management. Identify opportunities to improve recruiting operations and candidate experience, and help implement those improvements. What We’re Looking For 1-2 years of experience in recruiting coordination, HR, operations, or a similar role. A bias toward speed — you respond, you follow up, and you close the loop before someone has to ask. Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through. Clear, thoughtful written and verbal communication skills. The ability to juggle multiple priorities and stay calm in a fast-moving environment. A candidate-first mindset and a genuine care for creating a great experience for every person who interacts with EdSights. Comfort working with ATS tools, calendars, and collaboration platforms like Ashby, Google Workspace, and Slack. A proactive, solution-oriented approach — you bring answers, not just problems. A genuine interest in education, student success, or mission-driven work.
