Job description

Remote Recruiter at HRA - Work Eastern Hours - Remote

This role is 100% remote, which is great news for location-independent workers - but there's an important constraint: you must be available during Eastern Time business hours (ET, UTC-5/UTC-4). This is a hard scheduling requirement tied to client availability, not a soft preference.

What this means for nomads:

• Western Europe (Lisbon, Berlin): ET business hours (9am-6pm ET) translate to 2pm-11pm or 3pm-midnight local. Workable if you're a night owl, but not ideal long-term.
• Southeast Asia (Bangkok, Bali): ET hours fall in the middle of the night locally - this effectively rules out APAC time zones.
• LATAM (Medellín, Mexico City): These are the sweet spots. Colombia (UTC-5) and Mexico City (UTC-6) align almost perfectly with ET, making them ideal nomad bases for this role.

On visa options: since the role is US-focused (clients are US businesses), you'd likely be employed or contracted through a US entity. Countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Costa Rica offer digital nomad or long-stay visas well-suited for remote US workers earning in USD.

No travel perks such as equipment stipends or coworking allowances are mentioned. No salary data is provided, so cost-of-living comparisons aren't possible - worth asking about during interviews.

Hunter Recruitment Advisors (HRA) is a growing Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and recruitment marketing firm that helps home services, trades, manufacturing, and professional services companies hire the people they need.

A New Way to Hire. Hunt with Distinction!

We're looking for a relationship-driven Recruiter with a can-do attitude who's ready to hit the ground running on challenging, hard-to-fill roles. You'll own the full recruiting process for your open positions: sourcing, screening, and helping close offers. You'll keep the ATS clean, give candidates and hiring managers a smooth experience, and build a talent network that makes every search faster than the last.

What You'll Do

Sourcing and Screening

• Source candidates for hard-to-fill roles in home services, trades, and professional services through job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, and creative outreach.
• Screen candidates by phone and video, assessing skills, experience, and fit against each client's hiring plan.
• Build and maintain a talent network so you have strong candidates ready before a role opens.

Candidate and Hiring Manager Experience

• Submit qualified candidates with clear, concise write-ups that make hiring decisions easy.
• Coordinate interviews, gather feedback, and keep candidates informed at every step.
• Help extend and close offers, and support background checks and pre-start steps.
• Treat every candidate with respect: clear communication, timely follow-up, and honest updates.

Data, Reporting, and Process

• Keep candidate records, statuses, and notes accurate in real time. If it isn't in the ATS, it didn't happen.
• Share short, clear weekly updates with your Account Manager and raise risks early.
• Use data to adjust sourcing tactics when a search isn't moving.
• Follow HRA's recruiting playbook and suggest improvements when you see a better way.

What You Bring

Required

• 3-5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in RPO, agency, or in-house talent acquisition.
• Strong interviewing and communication skills, written and verbal.
• Hands-on experience with an ATS and recruiting CRM tools, plus comfort with simple reports.
• Highly organized and reliable, with a track record of hitting weekly goals.
• Ability to work remotely with a reliable home setup and consistent availability during client business hours.

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience recruiting for the trades, home services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), or manufacturing.
• Experience with Workable, JazzHR, Indeed, and LinkedIn Recruiter.

Who You Are

• Hunting mindset. You go where the talent is and follow through.
• Candidate care. You're clear, respectful, and on time.
• Organized. You keep the details right and your promises kept.
• A strong communicator. You send short, sharp updates and escal… early.
• Adaptable. You shift tactics when the data says to.
• Process-disciplined. You follow the playbook and help improve it.
• A team player. You live HRA's Ideal Team Player culture: humble, hungry, and smart.
• Location: 100% remote (ability to work Eastern hours)

Is this recruiter role truly 100% remote? Yes, the position is listed as 100% remote. However, candidates must have a reliable home setup and be consistently available during client business hours in the Eastern time zone. What industries will I be recruiting for?
