How to Apply for Recruitment Program Manager

at Magnify Mentoring

🏢 About Magnify Mentoring

Magnify Mentoring is a unique organization focused on connecting and supporting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to create positive career and life impacts. Unlike generic mentoring platforms, they specifically target systemic barriers in career development, making them mission-driven rather than profit-focused. Their work with governments and institutions to develop science and technology solutions adds a policy dimension to their social impact approach.

About This Role

As a Recruitment Program Manager at Magnify Mentoring, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing recruitment strategies to attract diverse talent, specifically from underrepresented backgrounds, for their mentoring programs. This role is impactful because you'll directly shape who gets access to their career development resources, ensuring their mission of creating positive impact reaches those who need it most. You'll work remotely while coordinating with various stakeholders to build inclusive recruitment pipelines.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning check-ins with remote team members to coordinate recruitment campaigns, followed by analyzing candidate pipeline data to identify gaps in underrepresented representation. Afternoons could include meetings with government or institutional partners to align recruitment strategies with their science/tech initiatives, then developing targeted outreach materials for specific underrepresented communities. You'd likely end the day reviewing program metrics and adjusting strategies based on what's working.
