## About the role

As the Recruiting Operations Specialist for Mercor NYC, you will own the operational core of how we hire — scheduling, Ashby, candidate experience, and on-sites — and you will be expected to automate the parts that shouldn’t require a person. Your remit is to define the core workflow, then build the systems that run it.

## What they're looking for

- Be the person candidates remember, at every stage — clear, fast, and human
- Automate the prep, not the warmth: interviewer packets, candidate prep, and follow-ups that fire on the right trigger without anyone remembering to send them
- Own post-offer coordination and the handoff into onboarding
- 3+ years of experience in project management, recruiting operations, HR operations, or similar roles
- Fluent in an ATS (we use Ashby) and fast on unfamiliar tools
- You already use AI daily and have built something with it. A scheduling automation, a sourcing workflow, a script that cleans your own data, a prompt library your team relies on
