Talent Operations Specialist
About OJO
OJO envisions a world where everyone has what they need to own a home. We know that homeownership is one of life’s most complex decisions and access to trusted advice and expertise can be the difference-maker. Through the fusion of machine intelligence and human expertise, we meet people wherever they are in their home journey to provide deeply personalized guidance and support.
Our intuitive technology learns each individual’s needs and preferences to provide a tailored experience whether they’re buying, selling, or managing their home as an asset. We then help them to move forward when the time’s right — with support, knowledge, and confidence.
From our network of top-rated agents we’ll match homebuyers and sellers with the expert who can best support their specific journey. We introduce agents and loan officers to consumers at just the right time, and underpin the connection with tools and insights to ensure a best-in-class experience.
As part of our team, you’ll help create the experiences that help level the playing field in real estate, so that all people — regardless of race, class, or gender — can experience the gateway to wealth and the security that home provides.
The Talent Operations Specialist is a critical part of our People Operations organization. OJO has a red-carpet candidate experience program, and lots of incredible opportunities we’d like to share. Your mission is to ensure candidates receive top notch hospitality and impeccable response time for feedback and scheduling interviews. All while being guardians of the process, empowering our team using data, reporting, strong communication and impeccable organization. We hope to have an opportunity to meet you, learn about your experience and introduce you to the OJO team.
The Basics: We are looking for someone who places a lot of value in candidate empathy and is obsessed with efficiency and process. You recognize the importance of clear and concise information as well as impeccable calendar scheduling and data reporting. You are the welcoming committee for your candidates, and are accommodating to their needs and you are an integral part of our talent acquisition team.
What you'll do:
- Ensure a quality candidate experience from start to finish (and determine how we can do better) – this is a prime focus in our organization
- Coordinate with hiring managers and recruiters for course of action in the interview process (hiring manager screens, tech screens, virtual/onsite interviews, etc.)
- Schedule interviews based on candidate and interviewer availability
- Provide regular correspondence and answer any inquiries the candidate may have throughout the process, connecting them to the recruiter when appropriate.
- Be an available resource for hiring managers for questions regarding schedules, and consult on individual interview processes

- Assist Operations in various related tasks and initiatives, not exclusively related to Talent Acquisition
