Candidate Care Representative – Part-Time Contract (Hybrid)
Location: Decatur, IL | 25–29 hours/week
Contract role through a third-party payroll vendor
Are you passionate about helping people, driven by detail, and energized by a fast-paced environment? ADM’s Talent Acquisition team is seeking a part-time Candidate Care Representative. You'll help bring ADM's mission to life by ensuring every candidate and hiring partner experiences efficiency, professionalism, and care throughout the recruitment process.
This is a contractor position engaged through a third-party payroll vendor, not a direct hire or benefits-eligible role with ADM.
What You'll Do:

• Be a key player in the day-to-day execution of recruiting operations across a range of ADM business units
• Act as a primary point of contact for candidates, communicating frequently via phone, text, and email to help facilitate a seamless onboarding experience for new hires
• Conduct initial phone screens for entry-level plant roles and provide feedback to recruiters
• Schedule on-site interviews and plant tours, confirming details with candidates verbally and follow up with calendar invites via email
• Serve as a go-to resource for questions related to candidate communications and status updates
• Monitor and update candidate background check progress using a third-party background check vendor
• Guide candidates through the onboarding process and ensure timely completion of onboarding paperwork
• Confirm start dates, arrival details, and support day-one readiness for new hires

• Excellent communication skills and comfort working across multiple channels (phone, text, email)
• Strong organization and time management, with a focus on accuracy and follow-through
• Experience with Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and an interest in learning new systems
• A professional, approachable demeanor with high levels of discretion and confidentiality
• Adaptability and a willingness to take initiative in a fast-moving environment
• Previous experience with applicant tracking or onboarding systems is a plus—but not required
• A team-first mindset with a passion for helping others succeed

• Join a collaborative, people-first team that values communication, initiative, and continuous improvement.
• Your work directly supports candidates and hiring teams, playing a key role in helping people start meaningful careers at ADM.
• Flexible, hybrid schedule that supports work-life balance
• Contribute to a mission that prioritizes safety, integrity, and opportunity for all

Base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Hourly contractors will also be paid overtime pay when working qualifying overtime hours.

The pay range for this position is expected to be between:

$18-20/hour
