About the Role

We are seeking a Recruiting / Talent Acquisition Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. This is not a traditional HR role — it’s about finding and placing elite, commission-only sales professionals (Closers and Setters) for remote, high-ticket businesses.

Your mission is simple : identify, assess, and deliver top-performing sales talent quickly and efficiently. You’ll combine creativity, resourcefulness, and technology to locate candidates across both conventional and unconventional channels, ensuring only the best make it through.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is results-oriented, highly organized, and passionate about connecting exceptional talent with high-growth companies.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End Talent Acquisition

Source, screen, and vet high-performing Closers and Setters from a variety of platforms, including LinkedIn, Indeed, Telegram, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, and specialized communities.

Write compelling job ads and outreach messages using AI tools such as ChatGPT.

Maintain organized candidate pipelines and update internal databases regularly.

2. Candidate Screening & Evaluation

Conduct one-on-one interviews via Zoom or Google Meet.

Evaluate candidates’ communication skills, professionalism, sales acumen, and tech readiness.

Use tonality assessments, mock calls, or past call reviews to confirm real-world sales ability.

3. Performance Verification

Review and validate sales recordings, LinkedIn profiles, and professional references.

Confirm all resume claims and ensure candidate credibility.

Identify potential red flags before presenting candidates to clients.

4. Client-Ready Reporting

Present only top-tier candidates, complete with interview summaries, performance notes, and video introductions.

Ensure all candidates understand the commission-only structure and expectations.

Uphold the highest standards of communication, professionalism, and presentation.

Requirements

Fluent English communication skills (written and spoken).

2+ years of recruiting experience , ideally in sales or high-performance environments.

Tech-savvy , with hands-on experience using tools such as ChatGPT, Notion, Google Drive, Calendly, Telegram, Slack, and GoHighLevel (CRM).

Proven ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and deliver results in a remote setting.

Strong attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and a passion for matching the right talent with the right opportunity.

Reliable remote setup : quiet workspace, fast and stable internet, and professional background for video calls.

What We Offer

100% remote, full-time role with flexible collaboration across time zones.

Opportunity for long-term growth and promotion to a Lead Recruiter position.

Dynamic, high-performance culture focused on excellence, accountability, and results.
