ABOUT THE NEST

At bluebird, only two things matter - patients and our people. When you join the nest, you're not just landing a new gig, you become a part of a flock that's soaring to new heights. We’re 1100+ doers, thinkers and collaborators across the globe with a strong sense of our values and our purpose. Our innovation and sustainability are rooted in the diversity of our teams and results are achieved through cooperation and the incorporation of multiple points of view. This is personal and we approach every challenge with radical care. The time is now to rise up and recode the science, the systems, and the status quo.

Associate Recruiter (Contract)

This role can be fully remote and is for a 12-month contract.

ABOUT THE FLOCK

The Talent Acquisition flock is all about working as a team to provide the support and tools for our birds to do their jobs better! Whether it’s making sure top talent is getting hired, our birds are afforded exciting development opportunities or supporting the goals of our businesses, we are driven by being bold and working hard. Come work with a flockin’ awesome group of recruiters that loves rising to the challenge much as we do. 

HOW YOU’LL FLY

As an Associate Recruiter bird, reporting to the Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition, you'll help to bring more patients their bluebird days by:

  • Driving end-to-end recruiting lifecycle support for our SGD businesses.   
  • Providing recruitment process support and challenging the status quo by working with data and technology to drive efficiency while demonstrating a personalized, world-class, human touch to our candidates.
  • Helping to fulfill exciting business needs and goals of the various business functions and sub-functions within bluebird bio’s SGD operation.  
  • Successfully attracting, identifying, and hiring top talent while helping build diverse teams.
  • Other related tasks as needed.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You’re the bird we’re looking for if you:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
  • Have demonstrated experience in end-to-end recruiting; biotech or pharmaceutical experience is nice to have but not required.
  • Are passionate about providing world-class experience and service to all candidates – not just those who earn employment at bluebird bio. Adept at building, sourcing, maintaining, and matriculating candidate pipelines and are comfortable speaking to multiple candidates on various roles every week.
  • Have used an ATS (this is a requirement)! We use Greenhouse here, but experience with any ATS will do!
  • Experience sourcing passive candidates – have you used CRMs, your own ATS, LinkedIn, or something else? Great! Talk to us beyond the “post & pray” method.
  • Can build relationships. Hiring candidates is important, but we can’t do that without buy-in and partnership within the nest – you’ll be working with hiring teams to learn their day-to-day and will, in turn, work to find the newest additions to their flocks!
  • Previous experience with fast paced environments where priorities shift and change. You find it fun and stimulating to juggle tasks and don’t like to be bored. Proven track record of juggling multiple priorities with shifting timelines is essential!
  • Solid understanding of all things Microsoft – Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
  • Excellent organizational skills! You’ll be working on roles in different areas of our organization and will constantly be at different stages of each…you should be comfortable fixing the airplane midflight.
  • A cheerful, team oriented and can-do attitude. When things are moving fast and everything changes, a smile and a friendly attitude go a long way.

All our birds embrace the principles of the bluebird bio culture:  b colorful, b cooperative, b yourself.
