About the Company:

Hybrid is a globally recognised full-service digital Media Company based in Philadelphia with 5 offices worldwide. We create compelling media for Higher Education market leaders such as UC Berkeley, Thomas Jefferson University and Drexel University

• Partner closely with managers to understand hiring needs, advise on recruitment updates and delivery outputs, and deliver high-quality hires consistently.
• Champion Hybrid’s employer brand by providing a positive, engaging, and values-led candidate experience throughout the recruitment journey.
• Support the Talent & People team with related administrative tasks and reporting updates, ensuring data accuracy within the ATS and maintaining up-to-date hiring and onboarding actions.
• Present job offers and negotiate terms confidently, highlighting Hybrid’s culture, benefits, and opportunities for growth to secure top talent.
