Recruiting Specialist

Hi! 👋 I’m Zaharo, the Founder of Right Hand Talent. I’m looking for a Recruiting Specialist to join my firm as Employee #3 as we build and scale our Chief of Staff recruiting agency.

About the Role

The Recruiting Specialist at Right Hand Talent is a high-exposure role and you will work side-by-side with our Founder. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include candidate sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruitment process management. As Recruiting Specialist, your role will be pivotal in driving sourcing and interviewing efficiency at the firm and providing a 5-star candidate experience. This role is focused solely on finding and managing candidates throughout the recruitment process, without the client responsibilities of full-desk recruiting.

What you’ll do:

Candidate Sourcing and Engagement

• Use creative sourcing methods like online platforms, personal referrals, and industry-specific channels to identify top talent
• Source, screen, and interview candidates, focusing on the Chief of Staff role exclusively
• Coordinate and facilitate interview processes, including scheduling interviews, preparing interview materials, and providing feedback to candidates and hiring managers.

Recruitment Process Management

• Create reports on recruitment activities, metrics, and successes to evaluate and improve strategies.

Your background and experience (required):

• Undergraduate degree
• 1-3 years of professional work experience
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills
• Extremely detail-oriented

Additional skills (preferred but not required):

• Experience placing talent at tech startups or venture firms
• Proven track record of meeting recruitment targets and delivering high-quality placements
• Strong understanding of recruitment processes, including candidate assessment and interview techniques
• Proficiency in using applicant tracking systems (ATS) and recruitment software

We think you'd be a great fit if:

• You were born to compete & love winning
• You embody a top 1% work ethic & sense of urgency
• You are open-minded & self-aware with a high EQ
• You approach your work with an ownership mentality
• You are a stickler for details and don't let things slip through the cracks
• You have an insatiable curiosity & hunger to learn
• You’re excited about becoming an expert on the Chief of Staff role at startups & within the venture capital ecosystem

Candidates will get bonus points for:

• Familiarity with the Chief of Staff role
• Demonstrated entrepreneurial achievements
• Experience in an extremely fast-paced remote work environment
• A proven track record in recruiting, sales, business development or any other performance-driven environment

What you’ll get when you join:

• Competitive compensation, including uncapped commission with an aggressive incentivization plan
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Work-from-anywhere and flexible working hours (significant overlap with CST time zone is required)
• The opportunity to learn and grow in your role and build meaningful relationships
• A hands-on, passenger seat experience of building a business while developing your personal brand

What to expect in the hiring process:

• Initial Zoom interview with Zaharo
• Case study and/or writing sample
• Personal reference calls
• Offer

We understand that interviewing can be a demanding and stressful process, and we're grateful for the opportunity to learn more about you. Regardless of the outcome, we’ll let you know about our decision as quickly as possible. Should this role not align well, we encourage you to keep in touch and consider future opportunities with Right Hand.

We can’t wait to meet you!
