Placement Specialist

What You Will Do:

Sourcing & Employer Outreach:

- Actively prospect and reach out to companies in multiple regions to source open tech roles for ALTA students.

- Cold-call, email, visit, and network your way into HR teams, talent acquisition leads, and hiring managers.

- Attend job fairs, industry meetups, startup events, and tech community gatherings to expand the employer network.

- Maintain a live pipeline of active JDs, company conversations, and follow-up timelines.

- Identify the right roles for the right students and not just volume, but fit.

End-to-End Placement Execution:

- Own the full cycle for every student you are responsible for - from sharing a JD to confirming the offer letter.

- Coordinate interview schedules between students and company HR teams, managing logistics on both sides.

- Brief students before every interview round, role context, company culture, what to expect.

- Follow up relentlessly after every round to get feedback and keep the process moving.

- Resolve blockers fast, whether it is a student documentation, a delayed HR response, or a reschedule.

Student Engagement & Preparation:

- Stay close to your student cohort - know their strengths, gaps, preferences, and progress.

- Work with the Head of Placements to flag students who need extra interview prep or profile support.

- Share real market feedback with students after every drive - what companies are actually looking for.

- Build student confidence through honest, practical coaching before drives.

Relationship Management:

- Build and maintain genuine, long-term relationships with HR and talent teams - not just transactional ones.

- Be ALTA consistent point of contact for every company you bring in.

- Gather recruiter feedback post-placement to improve how future drives are run.

- Keep company profiles, contact databases, and interaction logs updated and accurate.

Reporting & Coordination:

- Update the Head of Placements regularly on employer pipeline, student status, and any blockers.

- Maintain accurate records of all drives, interviews, offers, and rejections.

- Flag patterns - if students are dropping at the same stage repeatedly, say so and suggest fixes.

- Contribute to post-cycle placement reports with ground-level insights.
