Job description

Social Media Sourcing & High-Volume Recruitment

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a results-driven Freelance Community Sourcing & Recruitment Specialist—a hands-on role focused on identifying and onboarding real-world participants through online communities (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, local networks). You will own the end-to-end recruitment cycle for gig, contractual, and full-time roles — with a sharp focus on social media-led sourcing strategies. If you've built candidate pipelines through LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp groups, Discord, Reddit, Craigslist, or niche communities — and you know how to close fast — this role is built for you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Social Sourcing: Design and execute social media sourcing campaigns across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, and Craigslist to attract active and passive candidates at scale.
• Bulk Recruitment: Manage end-to-end bulk hiring drives — from JD creation to offer rollout — handling 50–200+ positions simultaneously.
• Gig Hiring: Build and maintain talent pools for high-frequency gig and contractual roles (delivery, field ops, sales, tech support).
• Recruitment Analytics: Track funnel metrics (reach → application → offer → joining) and optimize campaigns for conversion.
• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with hiring managers to define role requirements and craft compelling job posts tailored for social media audiences.
• Candidate Screening: Screen and qualify candidates rapidly using structured scoring, structured phone screens, and ATS platforms.
• Employer Branding: Build employer brand presence on LinkedIn and Instagram through consistent posting, engagement, and community participation.
• Vendor Coordination: Manage vendor and staffing agency relationships for overflow requirements and specialized gig mandates.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2–5 years of hands-on recruitment experience, with at least 1 year in bulk or high-volume hiring.
• Proven track record of sourcing candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Instagram, Facebook Jobs, or Telegram communities.
• Experience hiring for gig economy roles — logistics, FMCG sales, BPO, field ops, or similar.
• Comfortable managing 30–100+ open positions at a time without dropping the ball on quality or speed.
• Proficiency with ATS tools (Keka, Zoho Recruit, Naukri RMS, Greenhouse, or equivalent).
• Strong written communication — you can write a job post that gets clicks and a message that gets replies.
• Data-driven mindset: you track sourcing channel ROI, time-to-fill, offer-to-join ratios.
• Bonus: Experience running paid job ad campaigns on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Indeed.

NICE TO HAVE

• Familiarity with WhatsApp broadcast campaigns or Telegram group-based sourcing for blue-collar and grey-collar roles.
• Experience building referral programs or ambassador networks to drive organic candidate flow.
• Prior experience at a staffing firm, gig platform (Urban Company, Rapido, Swiggy, etc.), or high-growth startup.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive compensation with performance-linked incentives tied to hiring targets.
• Autonomy to run your sourcing strategy — we care about results, not micromanagement.
• Access to premium sourcing tools: LinkedIn Recruiter, job board credits, and ad budgets.
