Full Cycle Recruiter

Full Cycle Recruiter

The people we want are not on job boards, and your job is to find them anyway. You own full cycle recruiting for every active role at Puente, from mapping the market to closing the offer.

Remote · Latin America · $2,400-$3,200 USD/month · Full-time · Independent Contractor · Monday to Friday · 9 AM-6 PM CT

Why this role exists

Puente is a small, sharp team that connects the best people in Latin America with US companies that move fast. This is a sourcing-led seat for a recruiter who would rather hunt than wait: someone who has placed international talent into US companies at a nearshore or offshore staffing firm, moves fast, and treats quality over volume as a non-negotiable.

What you'll own

• Outbound sourcing for every active role using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean, referrals and cold outreach
• Candidate screening for English fluency, judgment and real fit, not just resume credentials
• The client relationship, learning exactly what an A-player looks like for each US team you hire for
• Your full pipeline in Recruit CRM, from first message to signed offer
• Searches with zero inbound, turned from dead roles into placements
• Placement decisions based on long-term fit, not volume metrics

Why this is interesting

• Uncapped bonus on every placement
• Full ownership of the recruiting cycle, from market map to close
• AI tools are part of how you do better work

What we're looking for

• Experience placing international talent into US companies at a nearshore or offshore staffing firm, not BPO, domestic staffing or a generalist agency
• An A-player who has hustled inside a startup, moves fast and owns the outcome
• Sourcing is your edge. You can fill a role nobody else thought was possible
• You use AI tools as a way to do better work, not a threat to your process
• You would rather pass on fifty candidates than place one who washes out in sixty days
• English C2, written and spoken. Flawless on a call, precise in writing

Bonus

• Experience recruiting for technical roles (engineers, product managers, data analysts)
• Track record of building talent pipelines in specific markets or geographies
• Familiarity with nearshore staffing models and US company hiring practices
• Proven ability to close candidates on roles with competitive compensation packages

What success looks like

First 90 days

You have sourced and submitted qualified candidates for all active roles, with at least one placement closed. You have mapped the market for your key talent segments, built a repeatable outreach process, and run screening interviews that accurately predict fit and English capability.

Ongoing

You consistently fill roles with candidates who stay and perform well beyond their first year. Hiring managers trust your judgment and ask for you by name, and you earn uncapped bonuses by placing A-players who move the needle for US teams.

Why Puente

Puente connects experienced Latin American professionals with growing US companies. We do not operate as a generic job board: we selectively match candidates with active roles and guide them through the hiring process.
