Recruiting Coordinator

About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You love finding needles in haystacks and placing them where they belong.

As the Recruiting Coordinator, you are analytical, focused and efficient. You possess successful administrative and organizational skills and have exceptional written and oral communications skills.

As a results-driven and self-motivated individual, you are able to juggle candidates in all phases of the recruiting cycle with confidence and professionalism. Your colleagues value your insight and rely on you to effectively source, screen and participate in onboarding new employees.

At the end of the day, you do what it takes to get things done. Most importantly, you know this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to do something meaningful. A chance to serve others. And a chance to make a life-changing impact on students with the gospel.
