About the Role: As a Full-Cycle Recruiter, you will manage recruitment delivery for a portfolio of OnHires clients from intake through to signed offer. This is a full desk role where you will own the entire hiring cycle—sourcing, screening, presenting, and closing your own pipeline.
You will also act as the primary point of contact for both candidates and clients, ensuring seamless communication and relationship management. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a results-driven, independent, and remote-first environment.
Responsibilities:
- Own the full recruitment cycle for assigned roles, including intake, sourcing, screening, submission, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing.
- Build and execute sourcing strategies using tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Meta View, Pin.com, GitHub, Boolean/X-ray search, and AI sourcing tools.
- Conduct structured screening calls to assess skills, motivation, and cultural fit before presenting candidates to clients.
- Maintain up-to-date candidate and vacancy data in the ATS/CRM systems (Loxo, Teamtailor, NetHunt).
- Serve as the primary contact for both clients and candidates, managing expectations and feedback loops.
- Coordinate interviews across time zones between candidates and clients.
- Negotiate offers and manage the process until signed acceptance.
- Track and optimize KPIs such as time to fill, submission-to-interview ratio, and submission-to-placement ratio.
- Communicate with candidates and clients in a direct, honest, and fast manner, aligning with OnHires' core values.
Skills We're Looking For:
- Fluent, native-level English (spoken and written).
- Proficient in LinkedIn Recruiter, Meta View, Pin.com, and similar sourcing platforms, with adaptability to new tools.
- Strong Boolean search and sourcing techniques.
- Confident, consultative communication skills for screening calls, client updates, and offer negotiations.
- Exceptional organization and pipeline management for handling multiple roles simultaneously.
- Self-starter mindset with comfort working asynchronously and independently in a remote team.
- Results orientation with a focus on meeting placement and revenue targets.
Requirements:
- Native English speaker or educated at a university in an English-speaking country (US, UK, Canada, Australia).
- Based in Latin America or South Africa.
- At least 2 years of full-cycle recruitment experience at a recruitment or staffing agency (agency-side experience required).
- Eligible to work as an independent contractor and invoice for services from your country of residence.
- Reliable high-speed internet and access to your own laptop.
- Availability to overlap with European and/or US business hours for coordination.
- Prior recruiting experience in tech, fintech, Web3, SaaS, or AI/ML is a strong plus.
Corporate Benefits:
- 100% remote work from anywhere in Latin America or South Africa.
- Flexible hours with core overlap windows rather than a fixed schedule.
- Learning and development budget covering relevant courses and certifications in recruitment, sourcing, and sales.
- Direct mentorship from OnHires' recruitment leads and access to playbooks and pricing knowledge.
- Clear growth path toward senior recruiter or team lead as you build your track record.
- Paid time off.
- Close-knit, international team with regular check-ins.
- Real ownership of clients, pipeline, and results.
Additional Notes:
- This is an independent contractor engagement, not a local employment contract.
- Focus on OnHires' existing client base in tech, fintech, Web3, SaaS, and AI/ML sectors.
- Expect a short interview process including an intro call, a practical sourcing or screening exercise, and a final conversation with leadership.
