We’re looking for a fast, highly organized contract Resume Reviewer to help us evaluate candidates at scale. In this role, you’ll play a key part in matching our Fellows to project opportunities by reviewing a high volume of resumes per day, assessing candidate qualifications and fit, and making clear, confident judgements that align with client and project needs.

This is a high-throughput role. You'll be expected to hit daily review targets, keep pace with a fast-moving pipeline, and make sound calls quickly. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders, but spend most of your time heads-down, screening candidates effectively and accurately.

Required:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in sourcing or recruiting (recruiting coordination alone or hiring experience as a hiring manager in a non-recruiting role will not qualify)
  • 1+ years experience using Google Suite tools such as Sheets and Docs
  • Comfortable working against daily review targets and turnaround time expectations
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to maintain accuracy while working at speed
  • Ability to make informed decisions quickly without over-deliberating

Extra Credit:

  • Experience screening at scale in a high-volume recruiting, staffing, or sourcing environment
  • Experience hiring across a variety of industries and functional roles
  • Demonstrated ability to identify process improvements and recommend workflows that increase speed and efficiency

Handshake is the premier early talent network and university recruiting platform dedicated to democratizing career opportunities for students and recent graduates. Founded in 2014 by Garrett Lord, Ben Christensen, and Scott Ringwelski in San Francisco, the company was built on the belief that a student's career prospects should not be dictated by their zip code or the prestige of their university. Under the hood, Handshake operates a massive three-sided marketplace connecting over 1,400 higher education institutions, millions of active students, and nearly a million employers—ranging from Fortune 500 giants to local non-profits. The platform provides a centralized hub for job postings, virtual career fairs, and proactive talent sourcing, leveraging smart matching algorithms to surface relevant roles based on a student's skills and interests rather than just their pedigree. Their primary target audience includes college students entering the workforce, university career centers seeking to boost graduate outcomes, and enterprise talent acquisition teams desperate to build diverse, entry-level pipelines. What sets Handshake apart in the HR Tech space is its absolute dominance in the higher education ecosystem, effectively replacing legacy university job boards and becoming the undisputed standard for early-career recruitment.
