Talent Acquisition Specialist - Contract

How You Will Make An Impact

We are seeking a temporary Talent Acquisition Specialist to serve as a dedicated sourcing partner within the Talent Acquisition team. This role provides high-volume, high-quality candidate sourcing across the business while carrying a specific area of specialty focus (e.g. Corporate, Professional, IT, Outside Sales, Marketing, Finance, Customer Service, Event Operations, Manufacturing, or another assigned business vertical).

Specialty Sourcing (Primary Focus)

• Own top-of-funnel sourcing for an assigned specialty area, building and maintaining a consistent pipeline of qualified, engaged candidates.
• Partner closely with the Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist and/or Talent Advisor who owns full-cycle recruiting for that specialty to understand hiring priorities, role nuances, and target profiles.
• Conduct market mapping and passive candidate research specific to the specialty area's talent pools, competitors, and skill sets.
• Provide an initial layer of candidate qualification (resume review, basic screening) before handing off to the owning Specialist/Advisor for full-cycle progression.

Cross-Business Sourcing Support

• Serve as a shared sourcing resource across all business roles, flexing support to other specialty areas during volume surges, backfills, or time-sensitive searches.
• Create and post requisitions/advertisements and maintain accurate, timely records in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Build and nurture talent communities/pipelines in the ATS/CRM (e.g., Workday, Phenom) for future and recurring needs.
• Represent the company at job fairs, campus events, and other recruiting/branding events as needed.

Partnership & Collaboration

• Act as the sourcing layer that enables Talent Advisors and Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialists to focus on strategic partnership, candidate advisement, and offer/close activities.
• Communicate pipeline status, sourcing metrics, and market insights regularly to the Specialist/Advisor and broader Talent Acquisition team.
• Collaborate with HR and hiring teams to ensure sourcing approaches align with business goals, diversity objectives, and workforce planning.

Compliance & Operational Excellence

• Ensure compliance with employment laws, OFCCP/EEO requirements, and internal policies throughout the sourcing process.
• Maintain accurate documentation of sourcing activity, candidate dispositions, and source-of-hire data in the ATS.
• Support special projects and process-improvement initiatives related to sourcing and talent acquisition.
