About the Role

The Onboarding Coordinator owns the new hire experience from offer acceptance through the employee’s first day. This role ensures every new hire completes required pre-employment activities accurately and on time, remains informed and engaged throughout the onboarding period, and is fully prepared to begin training as scheduled. 

This position combines candidate engagement, process coordination, data management, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable managing multiple candidates and deadlines simultaneously, and naturally looks for ways to make processes simpler, faster, and more reliable. 

The Onboarding Coordinator serves as the primary point of contact for accepted candidates and works closely with Recruiting, HR, Training, IT, and Operations to create a seamless transition from candidate to new employee.
