Why this role exists

Puente Talent connects top Latin American professionals with US companies through selective remote hiring. We run tight, AI-powered recruitment operations built to move fast without cutting corners on candidate quality, and we need a senior evaluator whose judgment on people has held up over years.

What you'll own

• 40+ candidate interviews per week in 15-minute back-to-back blocks, assessing English fluency, critical thinking, communication quality and professional accomplishments
• Candidate sourcing through targeted channels to keep the pipeline full for active client roles
• Client meetings to understand each team's culture, hiring standards and what an A-player looks like for each role
• Your full pipeline in Recruit CRM, from sourced candidate to placed hire
• Onboarding support so new placements meet client expectations in their first weeks
• Patterns in candidate quality, sourcing channels and client feedback, flagged so the team gets better over time
• AI-driven systems that cut busywork so you can focus on evaluation and judgment calls

Why this is interesting

• You report directly to the CEO and own the talent evaluation function
• Performance-based bonuses on top of the monthly rate
• AI-powered systems take the busywork off so your time goes to judgment calls

What we're looking for

• Direct experience at a Latin American nearshore staffing company placing LatAm talent with US clients. Not domestic staffing, not a general recruiting agency
• English C2, written and spoken. You evaluate candidates on communication, so yours has to be flawless
• Real pattern recognition from years of evaluating people: you know who interviews well versus who will actually perform
• Quality over volume: you would rather pass on 50 decent candidates than place one who washes out in 60 days
• Quick to learn new systems, and you see AI-powered tools as a way to do better work
• Able to run a full day of interviews and stay sharp through the last one
• Home office: reliable high-speed internet (20 Mbps minimum recommended), a noise-cancelling headset or quality microphone, a quiet workspace, a computer that runs Recruit CRM and video conferencing without issues, and good lighting with a clean background for video

Bonus

• Recruit CRM or a similar ATS
• Managing a sourcing-to-placement pipeline across multiple concurrent roles
• Prior work at a nearshore staffing company that was still scaling, not coasting
• Spanish and English bilingual

What success looks like

First 90 days

The interview pipeline runs at full capacity with every candidate going through the same clear evaluation standards. Client hiring managers trust your assessments, and you know each active client well enough to screen for their culture, standards and definition of an A-player without constant back-and-forth.

Ongoing

Placement quality stays high and clients keep their hires past 90 days. The sourcing pipeline is strong enough that open roles do not stall, and the CEO spends less time on talent evaluation because you own that function.

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.
