Talent Attraction Specialist (Contract)

Who we are at Osmo:

Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone. Osmo is headquartered in New York, NY, with a new facility in New Jersey, and offices in Somerville, MA.

We're looking for a resourceful, driven Talent Attraction Specialist to join us on a temporary (1099) basis and own the top of our recruiting funnel. This role is a critical piece of how we hire, directly enabling our talent team to focus on what they do best — building relationships and closing great candidates.

If you know how to build rapport quickly with new people, and you thrive in a fast-moving, niche environment, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Proactively source candidates across our open roles using LinkedIn, industry networks, job boards, and creative outreach strategies

• Own the full application review process — reviewing, organizing, and making a first-pass assessment on all incoming applicants

• Conduct initial candidate vetting to identify and flag top candidates for the talent team

• Build and maintain a healthy, organized candidate pipeline across multiple requisitions simultaneously

• Partner closely with our talent team to ensure smooth handoffs and a consistent candidate experience

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of sourcing experience

• Strong instincts for identifying great talent — you know the difference between a resume that looks good and a candidate that actually is

• Comfortable working independently and managing multiple priorities

• A natural on the phone — comfortable with cold outreach and able to build rapport quickly

• Familiarity with talent sourcing tools (i.e. LinkedIn Recruiter) is a plus

• Adept at lead generation activities

Rate: $25/hr

If this role inspires you we’d encourage you to apply. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining an incredible team optimized for a diversity of thought, background, and approaches.
