What You’ll Do

As a Talent Acquisition Recruiter II, you’ll drive proactive sourcing and candidate assessment by building pipelines of mostly passive talent, consulting with hiring leaders, and keeping searches on time, brand-forward, and compliant. This is a hands-on sourcing role: consistent, daily outreach to passive talent is a core expectation. If you enjoy the hunt: mapping talent markets, finding people who are not actively applying, creating compelling outreach, and turning cold prospects into real relationships, you’ll thrive here.

Dedicate focused time every day to identifying and engaging passive candidates, using thoughtful outreach and persistent follow-up to create qualified pipelines before a requisition becomes urgent.
Pre-screen candidates for assigned roles and present top picks to Hiring Managers and HR Partners with clear notes.
Coordinate interviews with Hiring Managers and teams; manage candidate travel and logistics.
Maintain accurate candidate communication and stages within the ATS; ensure clean hand-offs and close the loop with candidates. Build trust with candidates throughout the process so that even prospects who are not ready today remain part of SSR’s long-term talent network.
Track, analyze, and share weekly pipeline and performance data; recommend adjustments based on funnel health.
Support corporate recruiting initiatives (college relations, job fairs) and maintain career-fair spreadsheets/notes.
Leverage current sourcing tools and evaluate new tools to expand reach. You’ll have access to SSR’s full LinkedIn enterprise recruiting suite and AI-enabled sourcing capabilities, and you’ll be expected to use these tools creatively to research markets, uncover talent, personalize outreach, and work more efficiently.
Collaborate with team members to balance requisition load and meet SLAs.
Act as a trusted recruiting partner by learning each Hiring Manager’s business, role needs, and talent market, then using that knowledge to shape sourcing strategy and communicate clearly about pipeline progress and market realities.
Ensure positions are posted in the ATS and on external boards in alignment with guidelines; assist HR with recruiting spreadsheets.
Develop relationships with external recruiting partners and ensure adherence to SSR recruiting agreements.
