About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Manage full-cycle recruiting for Admissions and Student Services openings, from requisition to handoff for final-round interviews
Source candidates through Lever, LinkedIn, job boards, and university/community partnerships — especially candidates with backgrounds in higher ed, call-center/inside-sales, or student-facing coaching roles
Screen resumes and conduct phone/video interviews against role-specific criteria set by hiring managers
Keep Lever pipelines current — accurate stage tracking, notes, and candidate status so hiring managers and People Ops always know where things stand
Draft and send candidate communications (screen invites, rejections, status updates) using PKH's existing templates and tone
Partner with hiring managers (e.g., Admissions Services Manager, Student Success leadership) on role requirements and pipeline check-ins
Flag pipeline health issues early — slow-moving reqs, thin applicant pools, or diversity/representation gaps — to People Ops
Support light employer-branding work: keeping job descriptions current, posting to relevant boards, monitoring applicant experience
