Join us in this venture where AI and data meet ingenuity, and together, we forge the path to a smarter, more connected industrial future.
Cogniters we are looking for: We’re looking for a temporary Talent Acquisition Coordinator for the global team who doesn’t just “schedule interviews,” but treats coordination, systems, and data as a competitive advantage. You see an ATS as more than a database—you see it as the backbone of how a high-performing TA team runs, measures, and improves. You are the kind of person who notices patterns in process friction, designs a better way, and then actually implements it.
This is a 90-day contract role based in Tempe office four days-per week with real room to make an impression: you’ll walk into a fast-growing environment, help level-up how we use Greenhouse, and leave behind systems, templates, and workflows that scale long after the contract ends. Compensation is $23-25/hour based on experience.
How you’ll demonstrate Ownership
Candidate experience & coordination
- Own end-to-end interview scheduling for virtual and onsite interviews, ensuring every candidate has a smooth, well-communicated experience.
- Anticipate conflicts, solve for time zones and busy calendars, and protect interviewers’ time while still moving fast.
- Keep candidates informed at every step with clear, timely communication that reflects Cognite’s standards of excellence.
Greenhouse excellence & data hygiene
- Become a power user of Greenhouse: keeping candidate records accurate, stages updated, and workflows consistent.
- Champion clean data by enforcing best practices for notes, tags, and activity logging so that reporting and insights are trustworthy.
- Help configure and refine templates, interview plans, and email sequences so the team spends less time clicking and more time assessing talent.
Process improvement & automation
- Map where coordination work gets stuck today (handovers, approvals, reschedules) and propose streamlined workflows.
- Partner with TA and HR to test and implement simple automations (Greenhouse rules, email templates, scheduling tools) that eliminate repetitive manual work.
- Spot patterns in issues—like common bottlenecks or frequent errors—and turn them into documented fixes, checklists, or small process redesigns.
The Impact you bring to Cognite
- Raise the bar on how consistently and accurately Greenhouse is used, so TA leaders can actually trust the dashboards they see.
- Free up recruiters’ bandwidth by taking ownership of coordination, while also quietly upgrading the system underneath them.
- Leave behind better workflows, clearer documentation, and a smoother candidate journey than when you arrived.
- Experience in recruiting coordination, HR operations, recruiting or a similar role where you owned scheduling and candidate or stakeholder communication.
- Hands-on experience with an ATS (Greenhouse is a major plus) and comfort navigating, updating, and learning new features quickly.
- Obsessive attention to detail—dates, times, Zoom links, resume versions, and stages are always right when you touch them.
- A process-improvement mindset: you naturally ask “Why are we doing it this way?” and you’re excited to try a better approach.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can represent Cognite well with candidates and internal stakeholders.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment, staying calm and organized when things change.
