Job Description

The Ward Law Group is a personal injury law firm headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, with offices in Orlando and New York City. We are growing quickly across all three markets and need dedicated recruiting support during the hours when candidates are actually available to talk.

This role exists because the best candidates are working during business hours. Evenings and weekends are when they answer the phone, return messages, and complete assessments. You'll own that window — sourcing, making first contact, screening, and keeping the pipeline moving so that Monday morning starts with a full calendar instead of an empty one.

You will work independently with limited real-time supervision.

What You'll Do

Sourcing and outreach

• Source candidates for open roles across all three offices using job boards, LinkedIn, professional associations, alumni networks, and direct outreach
• Build and run Boolean searches against defined role criteria
• Conduct high-volume outbound contact — calls, texts, and email — to passive and applied candidates during evening and weekend hours
• Re-engage prior applicants and dormant pipeline

Screening and coordination

• Administer prescreening questionnaires and record responses accurately
• Send, track, and follow up on candidate assessments
• Schedule interviews across hiring manager and candidate availability, including time zone coordination between Florida and New York
• Send confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling communications

Pipeline and records

• Maintain accurate, current candidate records in the applicant tracking system
• Document screening notes in a consistent format usable by hiring managers who did not attend the call
• Disposition candidates promptly and accurately with the correct reason codes
• Provide an end-of-shift pipeline summary covering contacts made, screens completed, assessments sent, and interviews scheduled
• Serve as the first impression of the firm for most applicants
• Respond to candidate inquiries within the shift window
• Ensure every candidate receives a clear next step or a clear close

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• 2 or more years in recruiting coordination, sourcing, or high-volume talent acquisition support
• Demonstrated experience conducting phone screens and scheduling interviews at volume
• Proficiency with an applicant tracking system and standard productivity tools
• Boolean search capability
• Consistent availability for the full Wednesday–Sunday, 2:30–11:00 PM ET
• Reliable high-speed internet, a functioning computer, a quiet professional workspace, and a phone setup suitable for a continuous call volume
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and to self-report progress accurately

Preferred Qualifications

• Bilingual English/Spanish — a substantial share of our candidate pool and client base is Spanish-speaking
• Prior recruiting experience in a law firm, medical practice, or other high-volume professional services environment
• Experience recruiting legal support staff, intake, or case management roles
• Familiarity with Litify, Salesforce, or comparable platforms
