- Hand off qualified, interested candidates to the Talent Acquisition Specialist through the ATS with a clear candidate summary, and stay available to the candidate and hiring manager as needed.

- Record every sourced candidate and every touchpoint in the ATS so sourcing data is complete and reportable.
