Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in a coordinating, administrative, or customer-facing role.
• Exceptional organization and follow-through, with the ability to hold many moving pieces at once and let nothing drop.
• Experience booking and managing business travel, and the composure to solve problems in real time when an itinerary falls apart.
• Clear, warm written and verbal communication with candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional teams.
• Comfort managing calendars across multiple stakeholders, time zones, and production shift schedules, with sound judgment about when to solve something yourself and when to escalate.
• A proactive, service-minded approach and genuine care for the experience of everyone who moves through our process.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity where processes are still being built, and eager to help build them.
• Discretion and experience handling confidential and sensitive information.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience in a recruiting or HR environment is highly preferred.
• Experience supporting high-volume, hourly, or manufacturing hiring.
• Familiarity with ATS platforms such as Ashby, Rippling, Greenhouse, or similar, and with Google Workspace or Outlook scheduling tools.
• Experience with corporate travel or expense platforms such as Ramp or similar systems.
• Experience coordinating interviews in a manufacturing, robotics, industrial, aerospace, or other production environment.
• Interest in robotics, AI, or advanced manufacturing, and existing ties to the Houston talent community.

Responsibilities

• Own interview scheduling end to end including multi-panel on sites, shift-based interviews, and last-minute changes.
• Book and manage all candidate travel, including flights, hotels, and ground transportation, and serve as their point of contact throughout the trip, including when flights get delayed or plans change at the last minute.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates from first outreach through offer, and host them onsite in a way that reflects well on Persona AI.
• Support high-volume and hourly manufacturing hiring by managing candidate flow, coordinating batch interviews and hiring events, and keeping pipelines moving.
• Handle onsite interview logistics, including conference room booking, interviewer coverage, and day-of scheduling changes.
• Maintain accurate, current data in our ATS so that reporting, compliance, and process consistency hold up as we grow.
• Partner with recruiters and hiring managers on panel coverage, debrief scheduling, and offer logistics.
• Build the templates, workflows, and documentation that let recruiting scale, and flag bottlenecks like stalled candidates or slow-moving searches before they cost us a hire.
• Support new hire onboarding logistics in partnership with People Operations.
