• Conduct competency‑based initial screening interviews (role‑specific, behavioural, technical basics)
• Coordinate client interviews – schedule, confirm, share prep materials, gather feedback
• Manage offer process – draft offer letters, coordinate negotiations (with oversight), confirm start dates
• Maintain candidate pipeline in CRM/Zoho Recruit/ATS: every interaction logged, every candidate tagged

Circuit Deployment

• Match available talent to client requirements (skills, availability, location, budget)

Quality & Experience

• Ensure every candidate receives timely, respectful feedback (within 48 hours of interview)
• Ensure every client receives a shortlist within agreed timelines (mid‑level: ≤5 business days)
• Maintain 100% CRM hygiene – no missing statuses, no orphaned candidates

Collaboration

• Daily check‑in with Operations Coordinator (15 mins) to review priorities and blockers
• Escalate hard‑to‑fill roles or client expectation mismatches to Ops, who will involve the founder only when necessary
