The Reporting & Analytics Specialist is responsible for designing, maintaining, and enhancing reports, dashboards, and analytics that measure the performance of recruitment programs (e.g., time-to-fill, funnel conversion, source effectiveness, and compliance).

• Strong proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, complex formulas; macros a plus) and experience with BI or data visualization tools (e.g., Bold BI, Power BI, Tableau).
• Hands-on experience working with ATS or HR systems (e.g., Workday, SuccessFactors, iCIMS, JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite, or similar systems) and extracting data for analysis.
• Ability to work with large, complex datasets, perform data cleaning, and ensure consistent definitions across reports.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills with the ability to translate data into insights and clear narratives for non-technical stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to recruiting leadership and client stakeholders.
• High attention to detail, strong organization, and the ability to manage multiple reporting requests and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
