Talent Acquisition Specialist

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to keep our hiring engine running smoothly. You'll own interview scheduling, candidate communication, and ATS hygiene so our recruiters and hiring managers can focus on finding and closing great talent.

This is a high-volume, detail-heavy role. You'll be the person candidates hear from first and the person hiring managers rely on to keep every loop on track.

As the Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll be apart of the behind-the-scenes engine of our recruiting team. You'll support interview coordination and handle the admin details that keep hiring organized, accurate, and moving forward. That frees our recruiters and hiring managers to focus on finding and closing great talent. You'll also help shape a smooth, professional experience for every candidate.

This role is based out of our Houston office.
