Job description

We’re looking for a Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Specialist with experience in staffing, BPO, or high-volume recruitment, including experience recruiting talent throughout Latin America, who thrives in a fast-moving environment.

This role requires an exceptionally high level of English proficiency, both written and spoken. You will be recruiting primarily for U.S.-based companies where English is the primary working language, so you must be fully comfortable conducting interviews, evaluating candidates’ English communication skills, writing professional candidate summaries, and communicating confidently with internal stakeholders and clients in English.

This is not a role where you’ll simply post jobs and review applications. You'll manage multiple searches simultaneously, actively source candidates, screen and assess talent, maintain organized recruiting pipelines, and partner closely with our internal team to ensure we’re consistently presenting strong candidates to our clients.

We’re especially interested in someone who knows how to use AI, recruiting technology, automation, ATS platforms (Zoho Recruit), and CRMs to work smarter and make recruiting processes more efficient. You should also be able to identify bottlenecks throughout the recruitment process and recommend practical ways to improve efficiency, candidate flow, and overall hiring outcomes. Because Remotely+ is growing, you'll also have the opportunity to help us improve, build, and refine recruiting processes as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Manage multiple recruiting searches simultaneously across different industries and job functions.
• Source candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, databases, referrals, social media, and creative sourcing strategies.
• Review and screen high volumes of applications efficiently while maintaining strong hiring standards.
• Conduct initial candidate interviews and assess experience, communication skills, English proficiency, professionalism, and overall fit.
• Evaluate candidates against client requirements and identify the strongest profiles to move forward.
• Prepare candidate summaries, recruiter notes, and recommendations for internal and client review.
• Maintain accurate candidate records, stages, notes, communications, and activity within the ATS.
• Proactively build talent pipelines for frequently hired and hard-to-fill positions.
• Communicate with candidates throughout the recruitment process and provide a positive, responsive candidate experience.
• Identify bottlenecks in the recruitment process and recommend ways to improve efficiency.
• Help develop recruiting templates, screening processes, interview guides, assessments, workflows, and standard operating procedures as the company scales.
• Use AI and automation tools to increase productivity while maintaining human judgment and high recruiting standards.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience, ideally within staffing, BPO, recruitment agencies, outsourcing, or other high-volume hiring environments.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Proven experience managing multiple roles and large candidate pipelines at the same time.
• Experience recruiting talent throughout Latin America.
• ATS experience is a must and familiarity with Zoho Recruit as an ATS is a huge plus.
• Experience working in a staffing or recruitment agency environment.
• Experience recruiting for a variety of positions and adapting quickly to unfamiliar industries or job functions.
• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills.
• Ability to quickly identify whether a candidate truly meets the core requirements of a position.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to prioritize effectively and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working with recruiting metrics and using data to improve sourcing and hiring decisions.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.

This is a remote position.
