  • Ensure recruiting practices align with company policies, applicable employment laws, and confidentiality requirements.
  • Collaborate with HR and onboarding teams to facilitate a smooth transition from offer acceptance through the new hire's first day.

  • Experience sourcing candidates for scientific, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, or corporate roles is a plus.
