About The Role
As a CBRE Talent Acquisition Coordinator, you are a foundational member of the Pre-Boarding Operations organization — the team responsible for offer governance, pre-hire compliance, background screening, and employment eligibility across CBRE. You will deliver exceptional candidate experiences by coordinating seamlessly across the offer letter lifecycle and background screening process, ensuring every new hire transitions smoothly and compliantly from offer acceptance to Day 1.
This role operates within a highly collaborative team environment and is ideal for someone who thrives in process-driven work, takes pride in accuracy and follow-through, and is eager to grow within a structured career path.
The Pre-Boarding Operations team sits within CBRE's broader People Services organization and serves as the enterprise center of excellence for offer governance and pre-hire compliance. Our work touches every new hire globally and directly shapes CBRE's ability to onboard talent compliantly, efficiently, and with a best-in-class experience. This team is in an exciting phase of growth and transformation — offering meaningful career development opportunities for those who bring rigor, curiosity, and a continuous-improvement mindset.
What You’ll Do
Offer Letter Administration
- Prepare and issue standard offer letters and employment agreements for entry-level through senior management hires, ensuring all compensation, title, and start date details are accurate prior to distribution.

- Monitor background check statuses daily and proactively communicate updates to candidates, hiring managers, Talent Acquisition Partners, and People Partners.
- Flag delays, outstanding items, or screening issues to the appropriate Background Coordinator or Senior Background Coordinator so they can be resolved without impacting the candidate's start date.
- Coordinate timing between offer letter issuance and background screening milestones to ensure a seamless pre-boarding experience for every candidate.
I-9 Compliance — Part 1

- Track I-9 Part 1 statuses across all active new hires, proactively following up on incomplete or overdue submissions.
- Coordinate with the Data Entry team, who are responsible for completing I-9 Part 2, to ensure the full I-9 is finalized on time and in compliance.

- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records across all systems of record (Avature, ServiceNow, etc.).
- Follow established standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all workstreams; escalate identified process gaps or improvement ideas to the Senior Talent Acquisition Coordinator.
