Recruiting Coordinator

About Us

Edison Scientific builds and deploys AI scientist agents to accelerate science and the development of new medicines. We are an ambitious team run by scientists and engineers from leading institutions across biology, physics, chemistry, and AI.

About the role

Edison Scientific is building AI that does real scientific research, and we’re hiring fast across some of the hardest-to-find talent in the market: software engineers who can embed with pharma teams and ship production code, applied AI engineers building autonomous research agents, computational biologists fluent in both science and software, and scientists who want to push what AI can do for drug discovery.

These candidates have options and little patience for a clunky process. As our Recruiting Coordinator, you’ll own the logistics behind our interviews and make sure every candidate has an experience they’d tell their friends about. You’ll also support our recruiters with top-of-funnel sourcing and first-round screens, so pipelines are warm before roles open and hiring managers get useful signal quickly.

You’ll work directly with hiring managers, scientists, engineers, and leadership, in a small team where you can own processes and improve them.

Key Responsibilities

• Run interview scheduling end to end. Coordinate multi-interviewer loops, onsite visits, travel, and logistics across time zones, and keep candidates and interviewers informed at every step.

• Own the candidate experience. Be the responsive, warm, clear point of contact candidates remember, from first reply to offer.

• Support top-of-funnel sourcing. Build and nurture pipelines for upcoming roles, and run outreach to passive candidates, working from search criteria set with your recruiter partners.

• Run first-round screens. Conduct high-volume screens and write them up so hiring managers can act quickly.

• Stay calibrated with hiring managers. Learn what great looks like for each role, and flag when the pipeline or the profile is drifting.

• Track the funnel. Keep your own pipeline and scheduling metrics (response rates, time-to-schedule, drop-off) and surface what you see to the team.

• Keep the system clean. Maintain data hygiene in our ATS, and spot and fix process gaps as we scale.

• Pitch in on other projects as the team grows and priorities change.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years in recruiting coordination, recruiting operations, executive/administrative support, or sourcing

• Exceptional organization, judgment, and follow-through when the calendar is chaotic and priorities shift

• Warm, fast, clear communication, the kind of person candidates and hiring managers are glad to hear from

• Exposure to and knowledge of the sourcing process, including how to find top talent

• Excitement about growing a career in sourcing and thriving in a fast-moving work culture

• Comfort with data: you track your own work and use it to improve

• A builder’s mindset and experience in an early-stage environment, where you improve processes instead of waiting for them

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Ashby, Juicebox, Gem, or similar ATS and AI sourcing tools (and curiosity about the next ones)

• Startup or hyper-growth experience
