Mid Level Recruiting Coordinator Jobs

INTRODUCTION

Join the TikTok USDS (U.S. Data Security) Talent Acquisition team as a versatile Talent Acquisition Partner supporting strategic hiring across our most critical technical and operational organizations. In this role, you will partner closely with leaders across Security & Privacy (S&P), Research & Development (R&D), and Trust & Safety (T&S) to drive full-cycle recruitment in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment. You will lead both technical and non-technical searches while leveraging market insights, talent intelligence, and data-driven strategies to influence hiring decisions and deliver an exceptional candidate experience. While your primary focus will be S&P and R&D, our team operates with agility; the ideal candidate is highly adaptable, intellectually curious, and comfortable context-switching to support broader T&S or operational business areas as priorities evolve.

Responsibilities

- End-to-End Recruitment: Lead full-cycle recruitment across multiple business lines, primarily driving Security & Privacy, R&D, and Trust & Safety searches. Remain flexible and adaptable to seamlessly pivot between highly technical profiles (e.g., Security Engineering, Data Science) and non-technical/operational searches.
- Stakeholder Consultation: Act as a trusted advisor to senior business leaders and HR partners. Assess talent requirements, provide market insights, influence hiring decisions, and advise on optimal hiring strategies.
- Strategic Sourcing: Utilize innovative techniques, talent research, and market mapping to discover, identify, and attract top passive talent in highly competitive, niche tech and security markets.
- Candidate Assessment & Experience: Screen and select candidates effectively by rigorously assessing their technical skills, business acumen, and alignment with TikTok's fast-paced culture. Ensure a seamless, high-quality candidate experience from application to onboarding.
- Complex Offer Negotiation: Drive the interview and offer stages, utilizing internal parity data and market intelligence to make salary recommendations and successfully close complex offer negotiations.
- Data-Driven Strategy: Partner with hiring teams to analyze pipeline metrics (e.g., funnel conversion, channel distribution), identify process bottlenecks, and implement proactive recruitment solutions.
- Operational Excellence: Navigate the highly regulated nuances of the USDS environment and manage broader TA-related projects—such as pipeline optimization, interviewer training, or referral programs—to drive continuous improvement across the organization.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

- Recruitment Experience: 3+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, including at least 2+ years of dedicated experience supporting Technical, Security & Privacy, R&D, or Trust & Safety organizations.
- Requisition Management: Proven ability to manage diverse, complex technical and non-technical requisitions simultaneously, including exposure to leadership-level hiring.
- Data Fluency: Strong analytical skills and data fluency to diagnose pipeline challenges and present clear, actionable solutions to leadership.
- Strategic Sourcing: Advanced sourcing expertise (e.g., Boolean, X-Ray, LinkedIn Recruiter, CRM tools) with a proven ability to conduct complex talent mapping and engage highly passive technical talent.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Leadership Recruitment: Proven experience managing leadership and specialized technical searches, with a strong track record of independently closing senior-level candidates.
- Matrix Environment Experience: Experience operating within a large, highly matrixed organization, demonstrating the ability to navigate complexity, build trust, and align multiple senior technical and business stakeholders.
- Adaptability: High intellectual curiosity with the agility to quickly context-switch between complex engineering profiles and operational/business functions as priorities evolve.
- Builder Mindset: An entrepreneurial, problem-solving approach with the ability to thrive, execute, and create structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
