Role Overview
Candidate Experience
Veterinary students and early-career associates have meaningful choices—and they notice how an employer treats them long before an offer is made. As Talent Acquisition Coordinator, you will own the day-to-day candidate experience for veterinary students, associate veterinarians, and priority support center roles, ensuring each interaction is timely, clear, and engaging.
People, Systems & Recruiting Operations
This role combines relationship-building with strong operational and technical skills. You will:
- Manage candidate communications and follow-up
- Keep recruiting platforms accurate, aligned, and up to date
- Support applicant screening and prepare recruiting reports
- Strengthen HVP’s presence with students through campus outreach and social media
You will partner directly with the VP, Talent & Development, who leads recruiting strategy and analysis. While the VP sets direction, you will ensure candidates experience HVP positively and consistently—from first contact through offer.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI is part of how we work every day, and it will be an essential tool in this role. The ideal candidate already uses AI to complete meaningful work and is eager to keep building those skills.
What You’ll Do
Candidate Communication & Coordination
- Manage the T&D shared Outlook inbox, responding directly when appropriate and routing or escalating messages to the right owner when needed.
- Communicate promptly and clearly with veterinary students, associate DVM candidates, and support center applicants through the channels they use.
- Provide consistent candidate experiences by ensuring every candidate understands their status and next steps.
- Coordinate interviews, externships, rotations, and candidate follow-up.
Recruiting Systems & Workflow Management
- Manage candidate records and recruiting tasks accurately across HVP’s core platforms: HubSpot for candidate relationships, Paylocity for applicant tracking and HR information, and Smartsheet for internal tracking.
- Monitor recruiting and hiring workflows in Paylocity, identifying stalled candidates, incomplete steps, and overdue actions before they create delays.
- Maintain complete, accurate candidate, requisition, and student records, resolving discrepancies promptly.
- Track required student program documentation, including agreements, onboarding forms, and prerequisites.
Candidate Screening & Selection Support
- Conduct initial candidate screenings using role requirements and criteria established by the VP and hiring managers.
- Summarize screening findings and route recommendations to the VP or hiring manager for decision-making.
- Prepare clear, organized candidate materials and summaries for hiring managers.
Social Media & Campus Engagement
- Manage day-to-day social media for student and campus recruiting by planning and scheduling posts, monitoring engagement, and responding to student questions in an approachable, on-brand voice.
- Support campus relationship programs through student organization outreach, career fair and event promotion, and timely follow-up with students met on campus.
- Coordinate job advertising campaigns across social media platforms and job boards.
- Partner with HVP’s Marketing Specialist to ensure all candidate-facing content is consistent and on brand.
Recruiting Reporting & Insights
- Run established recruiting reports on schedule, including pipeline status, time in stage, source performance, and campaign results.
- Verify report data for accuracy and completeness before sharing it with the VP.
- Identify and flag anomalies, emerging trends, and data gaps for the VP’s review.
- Compile job board, campaign, and market data as requested.
Agentic AI & Continuous Learning
- Use agentic AI tools daily to draft communications, process candidate data, complete multi-step tasks, and coordinate work across platforms.
- Develop and refine prompts, templates, and AI-assisted workflows that make recurring work faster, clearer, and more consistent.
- Work independently after onboarding, using available time to learn new tools and deepen your talent acquisition knowledge once core responsibilities are complete.
- Understand organizational priorities and focus time and effort on the work with the greatest impact.
- Identify workflow friction and recommend practical improvements using existing tools.
What We’re Looking For

- Experience managing a high-volume shared inbox, with sound judgment about when to respond, route, or escalate.

- Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining clean, reliable data.
- Strong time-management skills and sound judgment when prioritizing high-impact work.
