Planet's hiring engine moves only as fast as our ability to give every candidate a clear, organized, and respectful experience from first conversation to first day. As Recruiting Coordinator, you will be the operational anchor of that experience — owning interview scheduling, candidate communication, and process logistics across Planet's global hiring portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of nearly every team at Planet: hiring managers, Talent Acquisition Partners, executive assistants, candidates, and the broader People team.

This is a full-time role based in our Washington, DC office, reporting to the Senior Manager, Talent Operations

• Schedule interviews of all types — phone screens, full panels, executive debriefs — across multiple time zones, calendars, and interviewer preferences.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates throughout the interview process, ensuring every touchpoint feels organized, welcoming, and on time.
• Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready data in Greenhouse — including candidate stages, scorecard status, interviewer assignments, and offer details.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition Partners to keep candidate pipelines moving — flagging blockers, escalating delays, and proactively troubleshooting scheduling friction.
• Support continuous improvement of the recruiting coordination workflow — proposing better templates, calendar conventions, and process documentation that scale across the team.
• Contribute to candidate experience initiatives, including survey follow-up, debrief discipline, and process feedback loops that close the gap between intent and execution.

• 1+ year of professional experience in coordination, scheduling, customer service, operations, or a comparable role that required juggling multiple stakeholders and high attention to detail.
• Meticulous attention to detail — calendar invites are right the first time, candidate names are spelled correctly, and links work on the first click.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a warm, professional tone in candidate-facing email and chat.
• Comfort with calendaring tools (Google Calendar), video conferencing (Zoom or Google Meet), and a willingness to quickly learn modern recruiting tooling such as Greenhouse and GoodTime.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and adjust quickly when schedules shift, candidates re-route, or hiring needs change.
• Genuine customer service orientation — you treat every candidate, hiring manager, and interviewer like the most important person in your inbox.
• Self-directed organization — you build your own structure for managing a high-volume workload without needing daily supervision.

• Prior recruiting coordination, talent operations, or executive assistant experience.
• Hands-on experience with Greenhouse, GoodTime, or other modern recruiting and scheduling platforms.
• Experience supporting a team that operates across multiple time zones, including U.S. East, U.S. West, and Europe.
• Background in project management, process improvement, or operational excellence.
• Interest in a long-term career in People, Talent, or HR — with curiosity about how recruiting operations scales as a company grows.
