5. Work closely with the team to streamline recruitment processes and ensure seamless coordination throughout the hiring cycle.

3. Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build and nurture professional relationships.
4. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
5. High level of organization and attention to detail.
6. Ability to work very independently, be personally motivated, and take initiative in a remote work environment.
7. Familiarity with applicant tracking systems and other recruitment tools (preferred).
8. Knowledge of educational systems and understanding of skills acquired by educators transitioning to other industries (preferred).

**Benefits:**
1. Fully remote position with flexible hours.
2. Opportunity to pioneer and shape a critical aspect of our team's services.
3. Deeply purposeful work.
