CTC is seeking a Recruiting Coordinator to join our Talent Acquisition team as a core member driving recruiting execution across lateral hiring. This role is embedded in the day-to-day of our recruiting operation — partnering directly with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates to move searches forward with precision and professionalism.

- Act as a key point of contact for candidates throughout the process, ensuring a consistent and professional experience that reflects CTC's brand

- Ensure ATS data integrity and generate recruiting metrics that inform team decisions
- Support offer preparation, background checks, and onboarding handoffs
- Identify process gaps and contribute to improvements as the TA function evolves
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree
- 1+ years of recruiting coordination or HR operations experience; financial services exposure a plus
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities
- Proficiency with ATS platforms and Microsoft Office Suite
- Professional and proactive — someone who anticipates needs rather than waits to be directed
Nice to Haves
- Experience with Greenhouse Recruiting (ATS)
