Application process

Frequently asked questions

Do I need recruiting experience?

No. This is a true entry-level role. Paid training covers applicant tracking systems, interview scheduling, and candidate communication. Strong admin, scheduling, or customer service experience directly transfers. Formal recruiting or HR experience is not required.

What ATS will I use?

Depending on the employer, you may use Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or Ashby — the four most common applicant tracking systems in modern recruiting. Training covers the specific ATS used by the employer.

How many roles will I support?

Most Recruiting Coordinators support 5–15 open roles at a time, depending on the team's hiring volume. Some high-growth companies run 20+ roles simultaneously. Discuss expected volume during your interview — it directly affects how busy the role is.

Is this HR or recruiting?

This is recruiting, not HR. You will sit inside the talent acquisition function, focused on interview logistics, candidate experience, and ATS data quality. You will not be handling benefits, payroll, employee relations, or compliance — those are HR functions handled by a different team.

What's the career path?

The career path includes Recruiter, Senior Recruiter, Recruiting Manager, or People Operations Specialist. Many Recruiters and Recruiting Managers started as Coordinators — the role gives you deep exposure to how hiring actually works, which is exactly what you need to move up.

What is the pay range?

The pay range for this role is $20–$30 per hour, based on experience and hiring volume. Entry-level candidates typically start near the lower end. Some roles offer bonuses tied to hiring velocity or candidate experience scores.

Will I need to work outside standard hours?

Some roles require partial overlap with other time zones (e.g., supporting EMEA or APAC hiring). Occasional evening or weekend coverage may be needed for candidate interviews. Discuss time zone expectations during your interview — this is important because scheduling coverage directly affects your daily hours.

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. Applying through JobSphereHR is always free.
