- Coordinate practical assessments, reference checks, and contract reviews efficiently.
- Present a thoroughly evaluated shortlist of top candidates for final interviews.
- Build and maintain a high-quality candidate database for ongoing internal and staff-placement needs.
- Develop and implement practical HR standard operating procedures (SOPs), onboarding systems, and performance review processes.
- Support management by addressing employee expectations, accountability, team performance, and fostering a strong remote work culture.
- Utilize AI and automation tools to enhance sourcing, screening, documentation, and overall hiring efficiency.

Required Qualifications

- Proven experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, or HR operations with a demonstrated ability to source and attract top talent.
- Strong skills in candidate sourcing and talent hunting across multiple platforms and networks.
- Confidence and competence in independently conducting and evaluating interviews.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to enforce high hiring standards consistently.
- Ability to work independently, take ownership of processes, and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote agency environment.
- Practical understanding of AI tools and their application in modern recruitment workflows.
- Consistent relationship-building skills with qualified candidates, maintaining engagement even when no immediate vacancy exists.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

- Experience recruiting for Amazon, e-commerce, digital marketing, or remote agencies is advantageous but not required.
- Background in B2B staff placement or recruitment agency environments is a plus.
- Familiarity with hiring for roles such as PPC specialists, catalog professionals, client success managers, appointment setters, and other agency positions is beneficial.

This role offers the opportunity to build a reliable talent pipeline, reduce hiring time, and continuously improve the quality of every hire. Candidates interested in joining a dynamic, remote-focused team that values innovation and efficiency in recruitment are encouraged to apply.
