Why This Role Matters 

This role is often the first and most frequent interaction candidates have with Kinaxis. While interview scheduling is a key part of the job, our coordinators are much more than schedulers. They are proactive partners who help recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates navigate the hiring process successfully. 

 

Great coordinators see and solve problems before they become problems. They stay one step ahead, follow up before being asked, anticipate scheduling challenges, and ensure every interaction reflects the high standards of Kinaxis. 

 

As an integral member of the Talent Acquisition team, you will help deliver a world-class candidate experience while gaining hands-on exposure to recruitment operations, stakeholder management, recruiting technology, and global hiring practices.
