Recruiter Needed — Ongoing Remote Hiring (Philippines Focus) | ~2 Roles/Month

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.
