Worldwide
About us We're a New York–based architectural and commercial lighting distribution company. Our team is fully distributed — independent contractors across the US, the Philippines, Kosovo, and Latin America. We're growing steadily and hiring continuously. We're looking for a recruiter to own our sourcing and screening pipeline on a long-term, recurring basis. The work You'll run full-cycle sourcing and screening for roughly 2 new positions per month, ongoing. Typical roles include: Virtual assistants / executive assistants Project managers and project coordinators Procurement / purchasing managers Order entry and quotation specialists Bookkeeping and AP/AR support Sales and estimating support Most hires are Philippines-based, working 8–10 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. All roles are full-time independent contractor engagements, hired directly (not through an agency). What you'll do Take a short intake call or written brief from me on each role Write or refine the job description and post it across the right channels Source and screen candidates — resume review, English proficiency, relevant experience, home office and internet reliability Run a first-round screening interview and submit a shortlist of 3–5 qualified candidates with your notes and recommendation Schedule final interviews with me and handle candidate communication throughout Assist with reference checks and a smooth handoff to onboarding Target turnaround: a shortlist within 7–10 days of the brief. What we're looking for Proven track record recruiting Philippines-based remote talent for Western companies — please share specifics Fluency in the local channels: OnlineJobs.ph, JobStreet, Kalibrr, LinkedIn, Facebook job groups, referral networks Strong screening judgment. We'd rather see 3 excellent candidates than 15 resumes Clear, responsive written English and reliable follow-through Comfortable working independently with light supervision Nice to have: experience hiring for construction, distribution, manufacturing, or B2B supply businesses; familiarity with tools like Airtable, QuickBooks Online, or Slack. Engagement and rate This is an ongoing relationship, not a one-off. I'm open to structuring it as: A flat fee per successful placement, or An hourly rate with an agreed cap per role Tell me which you prefer and what your rate looks like. Please quote based on the scope above. Minimum requirements To keep this efficient for both of us, please only apply if you meet all of the following: At least 2 years recruiting Philippines-based remote staff for US, UK, or Australian clients At least 10 placements you can speak to specifically, with at least 3 in the last 12 months Available for a same-day or next-day response during US Eastern business hours Able to run first-round screening interviews yourself, in English, on video To apply Skip the generic proposal. Please answer these three directly in your first line of application: 1. How many Philippines-based remote hires have you placed in the last 12 months, and for what roles? 2. Which sourcing channels do you rely on most? 3. What's your fee structure, and your typical time from brief to shortlist? Short and specific beats long and polished.
