As part of our Talent Acquisition team, you'll play a key role in bringing great people into our growing organization.

You'll represent Kinsale at every touchpoint — by phone, by email, and in person at job fairs and campus events. This role offers a defined growth path: you'll start by mastering coordination and logistics, then grow into ownership of full recruiting requisitions for our highest-volume, most repeatable roles. Along the way, you'll work closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates, building the foundation for a long-term career in talent acquisition.

Responsibilities

• Owning interview scheduling and candidate logistics across all open requisitions, including collecting interviewer availability and confirming interviews.
• Managing the new-hire process end to end, including offer paperwork, background check follow-up, pre-boarding, and day-one onboarding.
• Coordinating career fair and campus recruiting events, including registration, logistics, and on-site attendance.
• Maintaining the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), including requisition setup, candidate status updates, and data accuracy.
• Providing general HR administrative support as needed.
• Building toward steady-state ownership of a portfolio of high-volume pipeline requisitions over time.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• Prior experience in HR, recruiting coordination, or a related coordination-heavy role.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing a high volume of scheduling and logistics across multiple stakeholders simultaneously.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills — you'll represent the company to candidates and at campus events and job fairs.
• Comfort working in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and general HR systems, with high attention to detail on data accuracy.
• Proficiency in Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel.
• A proactive, ownership-oriented mindset and willingness to travel occasionally for career fairs and campus recruiting events — a plus for candidates eager to grow beyond administration.
