What you'll do
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to keep our hiring engine running smoothly. You'll own interview scheduling, candidate communication, and ATS hygiene so our recruiters and hiring managers can focus on finding and closing great talent.
This is a high-volume, detail-heavy role. You'll be the person candidates hear from first and the person hiring managers rely on to keep every loop on track.
Where you'll work
This role is based out of our Houston office.
What you'll do
As the Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll be apart of the behind-the-scenes engine of our recruiting team. You'll support interview coordination and handle the admin details that keep hiring organized, accurate, and moving forward. That frees our recruiters and hiring managers to focus on finding and closing great talent. You'll also help shape a smooth, professional experience for every candidate.

- Track NDAs to candidates at the hiring manager stage and confirm they're signed before next steps
- Collect candidate feedback and flag ways to improve the process
ATS and talent admin
- Keep Ashby clean and current: candidate stages, dispositions, scorecards, and job postings
- Chase outstanding interviewer scorecards so hiring decisions stay on schedule
- Post, update, and close job openings, and keep our internal recruiting tracker in sync with live postings
- Help process referral submissions and track referral bonus eligibility
Offers and onboarding handoff
- Prepare offer letters and offer packets, route them for approval, and track signatures
- Run background check requests and track completion
- Hand off new hires to People Ops with complete, accurate paperwork
Reporting and process
- Pull weekly pipeline and time-to-fill reports for the recruiting team and leadership
- Document coordination workflows and help standardize templates and checklists
- Support employer brand efforts, including career fairs and industry events
Required
- 1–3 years of experience in recruiting coordination, HR administration, or a similar high-volume admin role
- Hands-on experience with an applicant tracking system (Ashby, Lever, Greenhouse, or similar)
- Strong calendar management skills and comfort juggling 20+ active interview loops at once
- Clear, friendly written communication with candidates and senior stakeholders
- High attention to detail and a habit of closing loops without being reminded
- Discretion with confidential candidate and compensation information
Bonus points
- Experience supporting technical, construction, energy, or data center hiring
- Experience in a fast-growing startup or scale-up environment
- Familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter and e-signature tools
- Comfort using AI tools to speed up admin work

About this role
Giga Energy is hiring a Talent Acquisition Specialist to manage the operational backbone of their recruiting function as they scale rapidly in Houston. This is a contract, in-office role focused on the logistics that keep hiring moving: scheduling interviews across time zones, coordinating onsite visits, maintaining ATS hygiene in Ashby, processing offers and background checks, and serving as the first touchpoint for candidates. You'll handle high volume—20+ active interview loops simultaneously—with attention to detail and the ability to close loops independently.
The role suits someone with one to three years in recruiting coordination, HR administration, or similar high-volume administrative work, plus hands-on ATS experience. You need strong calendar management, clear written communication, and the discretion to handle confidential information. Experience in technical, construction, energy, or startup hiring is a bonus, as is familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter and e-signature tools.
This is fundamentally an execution role in a company that moves fast. You won't be recruiting or closing candidates yourself, but you'll be the person hiring managers and recruiters depend on to keep every process on track so they can focus on finding talent. If you thrive in detail-oriented work and want to see direct impact in a high-pace environment, this could be a strong fit.
