About the Role

We are looking for an Outbound Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team. This is a hands-on recruitment role focused on identifying and hiring high-quality professionals across Operations, Accounting, AI, Automation, and specialized tool-based roles for both domestic and international markets.

The role requires strong lateral hiring and headhunting capabilities, with an ability to identify passive talent, build targeted talent pools, evaluate candidates beyond resumes, and consistently deliver quality profiles against business requirements.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end recruitment for assigned roles across Business Operations, Administration, Accounting, AI/Automation, and specialized tools and technology.
• Manage multiple hiring mandates simultaneously across domestic and international talent markets.
• Identify and engage relevant talent through headhunting, LinkedIn, job portals, referrals, talent databases, communities, and other sourcing channels.
• Build targeted talent pools for niche and recurring skill requirements rather than relying solely on active applicants.
• Conduct lateral hiring for professionals with relevant industry and functional experience.
• Understand role requirements deeply and develop effective sourcing strategies based on skills, domain expertise, experience, tools, and candidate profile.
• Screen candidates for functional expertise, communication, career stability, motivation, compensation, availability, and overall role fit.
• Proactively approach and engage passive candidates, including professionals who may not be actively looking for opportunities.
• Conduct initial candidate discussions and effectively position the opportunity to relevant talent.
• Manage candidates through the recruitment funnel, including sourcing, screening, assessments, interviews, selection, offer discussions, and joining.
• Partner with internal stakeholders to understand evolving hiring requirements and continuously recalibrate sourcing strategies.
• Maintain accurate candidate and pipeline data and ensure timely movement of candidates through the recruitment process.
• Track recruitment metrics including sourcing volumes, conversion rates, interview ratios, selection ratios, offer-to-join ratios, and turnaround times.
• Build and maintain talent communities and pipelines for future hiring requirements.

What We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in Talent Acquisition / Recruitment, preferably with strong exposure to lateral hiring.
• Demonstrated experience hiring across Operations, Accounting, Finance, Administration, Business Support, AI/Automation, or specialized tool-based roles.
• Strong headhunting and passive candidate sourcing experience, with the ability to identify and approach relevant talent proactively.
• Ability to recruit across both domestic and international talent markets.
• Strong understanding of sourcing techniques across LinkedIn, job portals, databases, referrals, professional communities, and other channels.
• Ability to understand a candidate's actual functional expertise and relevance, rather than relying only on job titles or keywords.
• Strong candidate engagement and influencing skills, particularly when approaching passive candidates and handling competing opportunities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple mandates, priorities, and candidate pipelines simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong ownership, follow-through, and a target-oriented approach to recruitment.
• Comfortable working with recruitment metrics and being accountable for measurable hiring outcomes.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience in lateral hiring or specialist recruitment.
• Proven ability to close passive candidates and hard-to-find profiles.
• Experience hiring for niche or emerging skill sets such as AI tools, automation platforms, CRM/ERP tools, analytics, and other specialized technologies.
• Experience recruiting for US, UK, or other international markets.
• A demonstrated track record of achieving sourcing, hiring, or joining targets.
• Strong market-mapping and talent intelligence skills.
