What does a typical day at Arthrex look like for you?
As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, every day is different, which makes it exciting! My main responsibility is to partner with hiring managers across all U.S. locations to identify internship, co-op and full-time employment needs. Through intake meetings, we work together to develop recruitment strategies to attract and hire the best candidates.
With my role primarily focused on college recruitment, I coordinate and participate in university events such as career fairs, information sessions and interviews. Arthrex is growing every single year, so we now target more than 15 universities, which means I travel quite a bit.
Outside of my daily recruiting responsibilities, I continuously plan various types of onsite networking and educational events to maximize the experience for our interns and co-ops. I work very closely with our Meetings & Events team biweekly to plan and execute each event.
I am fortunate to be a part of an amazing team that helps bring top talent to Arthrex.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
There are many aspects about my job that I enjoy and find gratifying. One of the things I enjoy most is being able to work in a cross-functional setting. I engage with hiring managers in various departments to learn about their position, and I work with Marketing and Communications to produce recruitment materials. Most importantly, I interact daily with my colleagues in Human Resources to ensure a smooth onboarding process for each and every new hire.
The part of my job I find most rewarding is having the ability to guide candidates to a career path they never knew existed and, ultimately, offering a candidate their dream job. The most fulfilling, however, is seeing a student transfer from an intern to a full-time employee. This is particularly near and dear to my heart because I started here as an intern and was fortunate enough to be hired into a full-time position.
