Recruiter

Employment type: Full-time

Work location: Remote (United States)

Compensation: ~ $28.85-$38.46/hour

Position summary

This is a senior recruiter role for someone who wins by opening doors. You will identify, engage, and earn trust with high-performing, passive leaders through consistent, thoughtful outreach.

You will be supported by a team, but you own the hunt. Results come from proactive market engagement and disciplined follow-up over longer timelines.

Who this is a fit for

• You have repeatedly filled senior leadership roles ($160K+ compensation) by going into the market and engaging the right people.
• You care about relevance, timing, and message quality, not mass outreach.
• You follow up professionally and stay present without being transactional.
• You want to spend your time originating talent and advising candidates, with operational support behind you.

What you’ll do

• Build candidate pipelines through targeted, creative outreach to passive senior leaders (email, phone, LinkedIn).
• Research, map, and pursue specific individuals, not generic personas.
• Write outreach that earns attention and trust, not volume replies.
• Run long-cycle pursuit through consistent follow-up and re-engagement.
• Start confidential career conversations with people who were not planning to move.
• Lead deep, consultative “get to know you” conversations to uncover motivators, misalignment, and readiness.
• Coach candidates through interview strategy, preparation, negotiation, and transition.
• Present candidates to clients with a clear narrative around impact, leadership, and long-term fit.

How success happens in this role

• Proactive outbound sourcing and relationship building, not inbound applicant processing.
• Strong judgment, persistence, and professionalism in follow-up.
• Candidate advisory work that improves outcomes for both the candidate and the client.

What you’ll bring

Core skills

• Cold outreach to passive, senior-level talent (email, phone, LinkedIn).
• Market mapping and targeted pursuit strategy.
• Executive interview prep and compensation negotiation.
• Strategic candidate positioning and clear storytelling.
• ATS/CRM proficiency (Crelate preferred).
• Clear, persuasive written communication.

Personal strengths

• Tenacity - you follow up with intention and discipline.
• Curiosity - you dig for alignment beneath surface interest.
• High EQ - you earn trust with people who did not ask to be recruited.
• Strategic thinking - you know when to press, pause, or reframe.
• Accountability - you own outcomes, not just activity.

Requirements

• Based in the United States.
• Reliable high-speed internet.

About the company

• Consultative recruiting focused on high-impact, long-term matches.
• Remote-first team collaborating across the U.S.
• Values humility, initiative, emotional intelligence, and excellence.
