HR Recruiter

Job Description

Are you an organized, resourceful, and service-oriented HR professional who enjoys connecting people, coordinating details, and making hiring processes run smoothly?

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is seeking a proactive and collaborative HR Recruiter to join our Human Resources team. This position plays an important role in supporting recruitment activities across the university, partnering with hiring managers, HR colleagues, and candidates to deliver an efficient, organized, and positive hiring experience.

This is not a traditional full-cycle recruiting position. Rather than independently managing searches from beginning to end, you will support recruitment functions throughout the entire hiring process, from job postings and candidate engagement to interview coordination, hiring activities, and onboarding support.

The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership of details, anticipates needs, and enjoys finding solutions. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful hiring initiatives while helping Embry-Riddle attract talented professionals who support our mission.

- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective working relationships with diverse stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and collaborate effectively with a team.
- Familiarity with applicant tracking systems, recruitment technology, or HR information systems.
- Understanding of employment practices and applicable employment regulations.

- Take initiative: You anticipate what needs to happen next and follow through without needing constant direction.
- Stay organized: You can manage multiple searches, deadlines, and moving pieces without losing sight of the details.
- Find solutions: When challenges arise, you investigate, ask thoughtful questions, and identify practical next steps.
