About The Position

At EquipmentShare, we’re not just filling a role — we’re assembling the best team on the planet to build something that’s never been built before . We’re on a mission to transform an industry that’s been stuck in the past by empowering contractors and communities through innovative technology, real-time support, and a team that truly cares. We’re hiring a temporary Talent Operations Specialist to support our Corporate Headquarters in Columbia, MO, with the option to work fully remote. We are seeking a highly detail-oriented temporary, full-time team member to support a Talent Acquisition Operations project focused on cleaning up duplicate candidate profiles in our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). This is a temporary project-based role expected to last approximately six (6) months. This work will directly improve recruiter efficiency, data integrity, and the overall candidate experience. The individual in this role will review a large dataset (approximately 40,000 entries) to identify duplicate candidate profiles and accurately merge them within the ATS. Because profile merges are permanent and irreversible, this role requires exceptional attention to detail, sound judgment, and consistency.

Requirements

• Proficiency with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets), including reviewing and tracking large datasets.
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong analytical and investigative skills.
• Ability to work independently and stay focused on repetitive, high-volume tasks.
• Comfort handling confidential, sensitive data with discretion and care.
• Reliable judgment and willingness to pause, escalate, or seek clarification when information is unclear.
• Ability to follow detailed process documentation and decision rules.
• Strong time management and self-organization skills.
• At least 2 years professional experience
• High school diploma or equivalent, required
• Must be able to sit for prolonged periods at a desk and work on a computer

• Experience working with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) preferred

• Compare resumes, names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details to confirm matches.
• Make informed decisions on whether profiles should be merged, recognizing that candidates may provide different or incomplete information across applications.
• Accurately merge confirmed duplicate profiles in the ATS following defined guidelines (profile merges are irreversible).
• Maintain a very high level of accuracy and documentation throughout the process.
• Flag uncertain cases or potential risks for review rather than making assumptions or proceeding without confidence.
