About the role

About This Role

We are seeking a motivated, early-career professional who wants to build a career in Talent Acquisition, Recruiting Operations, or Human Resources. This is not a traditional staffing role.

We partner with growing organizations across multiple industries to manage the top-of-funnel recruitment process — sourcing, qualifying, and booking candidates for first-round interviews. Once interviews are scheduled, our clients take the process from there.

This role is ideal for a recent college graduate or early-career professional who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys performance metrics, and is motivated by measurable results.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Making 500–1,000 outbound calls per day
  • Screening candidates for alignment and role fit
  • Booking qualified candidates for first-round interviews
  • Managing candidate pipelines and tracking performance metrics
  • Optimizing call scripts and improving booking ratios
  • Working closely with leadership to improve funnel performance

This is a metrics-driven role. Success is measured by activity, conversion rates, and booking outcomes.

Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (Business, Communications, HR, Psychology, or related field)
  • Competitive, goal-oriented, and coachable
  • Comfortable handling high call volume
  • Strong communicator with professional phone presence
  • Motivated by base pay + performance incentives
  • Interested in building a long-term career in Talent Acquisition or HR

What You’ll Gain

  • Real experience in high-volume recruiting strategy
  • Training in talent pipeline management and performance analytics
  • Direct exposure to client-facing recruitment operations
  • A clear performance-based growth track
  • Base salary + structured performance incentives

This Role Is NOT For You If:

  • You dislike outbound calling
  • You struggle with activity goals
  • You prefer slow-paced environments
  • You want a purely administrative HR role

Why This Role Is Different

Most recruiting jobs focus on full-cycle placement. We specialize in optimizing the top of the recruitment funnel — where most companies struggle.

You’ll learn how hiring truly works at scale.

If you’re competitive, analytical, and looking to build a serious foundation in Talent Acquisition, apply.
