About the role

THIS IS NOT A REMOTE POSITION; Consideration to working a hybrid work schedule (2 days remote/3 days in office) will be given after an assimilation period.
Recruitment firms and contractors will not be considered and should not apply.
The Talent Acquisition Specialist is how Arkana finds its people before they need them.

Responsibilities

Proactive Sourcing & Pipeline Building - 25% (Core)
Build and maintain talent pipelines for Arkana's recurring and hard-to-fill roles through direct outreach, networking, referrals, professional communities, and sourcing tools.
Partner with hiring managers to scope roles, write and refresh job descriptions, and design the recruitment strategy for each search - deciding which channels, sourcing mix, and screening approach fit the role, rather than following a fixed process for every requisition.
Exercise independent judgment in evaluating candidates against both qualifications and fit, advancing or screening out applicants without requiring case-by-case sign-off, and advise hiring managers on interview design and candidate selection.
Own the handoff from offer to onboarding, using judgment to resolve gaps or delays in pre-employment drug and background screening rather than escalating every exception.
Design and maintain the HRIS processes and checklists that govern this handoff, deciding how they should evolve as issues surface, so nothing gets missed between the offer and the first day.
Own Greenhouse configuration and workflow design as the subject-matter expert, deciding how stages, templates, and automations should be structured, and manage the vendor relationship.
Bring these to the Chief People Officer on a regular cadence, with context and recommendations rather than raw numbers, and use what the data shows to collaborate with CPO to sharpen sourcing and improve the process.
Support workforce planning by analyzing staffing needs and building processes to map and track Arkana's future talent pipeline.

Nice to have

Proactive communication and follow-through.
The ideal candidate keeps a regular, predictable cadence of updates and surfaces information early, while there is still plenty of time to act on it.
HR Certification required (either through SHRM or HRCI) or willingness to obtain in 12-18 months
Experience as system administrator and expert user of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
Greenhouse preferred
Knowledge of HR practices, regulations, and compliance requirements including those related to Federal Contractors and Affirmative Action Plans (AAP)
Experience using various AI platforms to scale HR processes to provide better customer and candidate experience along with improving efficiencies
Strong organizational skills with the ability to handle multiple tasks and prioritize effectively

Skills

Proficiency in HRIS and MS Office 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel etc)

Compensation

Negotiate preliminary offer terms with candidates within approved compensation bands, escalating only matters outside that authority.

Provide administrative support to the Chief People Officer on immigration and work authorization matters for applicable candidates and employees—completing and tracking required paperwork, processing fees, and flagging issues for the CPO.
