Job Description

Recruiter — US Staffing Agency (Remote, South Africa)

About Rad Hires

Rad Hires is a US-based recruiting firm that connects top Latin American and global talent with high-growth companies in the United States. We partner closely with our clients to build strong, long-term hires across a wide range of industries and roles.

About the Company

Our client is a well-established national staffing company headquartered in New York City, with over two decades of experience helping US-based organizations find top talent. They serve a broad range of industries including technology, finance, banking, HR, and nonprofits — partnering with leading enterprise clients across the US and Canada. Their service offerings span direct hire placement, staff augmentation, project-based engagements, and payrolling.

The team is small, tight-knit, and led by hands-on founders who value curiosity, ownership, and a true sales mindset. They've recently supported large-scale projects including cloud migrations and AI/ML buildouts for top-tier banking clients, and are now positioning themselves for the next phase of growth in the US staffing market.

About the Role

We're looking for a Recruiter to join our client's team and own the full recruitment lifecycle across a variety of disciplines (tech, finance, banking, HR, and more). This is not a traditional internal recruiting role — it's a staffing agency role where you'll directly support US-based clients, manage multiple searches simultaneously, and have the opportunity to grow into a pseudo-account manager position over time.

The right person is proactive, curious, and not satisfied with the status quo They have a sales mindset, strong business acumen, and the ability to operate independently in ambiguous situations without needing every step spelled out. Native or near-native English is essential, as you'll be communicating directly with US hiring managers and candidates.

This role offers direct access to leadership (the President, COO, and Head of Strategy & Sales), exposure to top-tier US clients, and the opportunity to take ownership of accounts as you grow with the company.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end recruitment searches across multiple industries (technology, finance, banking, HR, nonprofit, and more).

  • Source, screen, and present qualified candidates to US hiring managers.

  • Manage candidate pipelines, follow-ups, and the full interview lifecycle.

  • Build strong relationships with hiring managers and clients — progressively taking on account management responsibilities.

  • Leverage modern tools (ATS, AI, sourcing platforms) to work efficiently and stay ahead of the curve.

  • Maintain accurate records and workflow tracking in the company's ATS (JobDiva).

  • Collaborate closely with a small team of recruiters and the leadership team based in New York.

Requirements

  • Recruiting experience in a staffing or outsourcing agency environment (not internal corporate recruiting).

  • Proven ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously across different disciplines.

  • Strong sales mindset — assertive, hungry, proactive, and goal-driven.

  • Excellent communication skills (verbal and written), with the nuance required to interact directly with US hiring managers and candidates.

  • Native or near-native English — non-negotiable.

  • Curiosity and resourcefulness — comfortable using AI tools, learning new systems on your own, and operating in the gray.

  • Experience with at least one ATS (JobDiva experience is a plus).

  • Ability to work independently in a remote setup, with strong personal ownership and reliability.

  • Background covering both technical and non-technical roles is a strong plus.

What We're Looking For (Behaviorally)

  • Not satisfied with the status quo — always pushing to make things better.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and figuring things out independently.

  • Strong business acumen — understands the bigger picture, not just the task at hand.

  • Hungry, persistent, and able to follow through with energy.

  • Trustworthy, transparent, and able to represent the company directly in front of clients.

Logistics

  • Employment type: Full-time

  • Location: Remote — based in South Africa

  • Working hours: Aligned with US Eastern Time (approx. 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM SAST)

  • Reports to: President & COO
