Why this role exists

Our client is a small, fast-moving recruiting company that connects senior Latin American talent with US companies, and it uses AI across the whole recruiting process. Every search they run depends on a pipeline that stays full, and today that pipeline depends on whoever has time. They need someone who owns finding candidates, and who also grows the channels where those candidates come from.

What you'll own

• Source candidates for active searches through LinkedIn, job boards, talent databases and social media, using Boolean searches, filters and keywords
• Review profiles and identify candidates who actually meet the requirements of each role
• Reach out to candidates and follow up: replies, conversations, and where each person stands
• Keep the candidate database clean, current and organized
• Build and reactivate talent pools with the team
• Run the company's presence on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook
• Create and publish content about open roles, recruiting and careers, adapting one idea to different formats and platforms
• Hold a steady publishing rhythm and grow the talent audience on LinkedIn
• Read engagement and applicant numbers to find what is actually working, and bring ideas to improve it
• Use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude across sourcing, research, outreach and content

Why this is interesting

• Weekly targets and numbers you can see move. You will know exactly what good looks like and whether you hit it
• The full modern sourcing stack from day one: LinkedIn, Boolean, talent databases, AI tools. Most people learn this three years into a career
• Two crafts at once, sourcing and talent content, in a team small enough that what you publish and who you find both show up in the results

What we're looking for

• Studying or finished Psychology, HR, Recruiting or similar, with genuine interest in recruiting and talent search
• Some previous experience in recruiting, sourcing, HR or staffing, including internship or junior level
• You know how to search for people on LinkedIn and spot relevant profiles
• Naturally curious about people, careers and how companies hire
• Active on social media, with a real grasp of how LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook work. Running your own profile or creating content counts
• You take initiative. If something could work better, you try instead of waiting for instructions
• Organized, comfortable juggling several searches and tasks at once
• Comfortable with AI tools and interested in learning new ones

Bonus

• Sourcing for LATAM or US companies
• Creating LinkedIn content, or running Instagram or Facebook accounts
• Copywriting
• Building a personal brand on LinkedIn
• WhatsApp or talent communities
• AI tools for content creation or recruiting

What success looks like

First 90 days

You source independently across several searches and consistently find candidates who meet the real requirements of each role.

You own a piece of the social media publishing process, test different content approaches, and start growing the company's talent audience.

The recruiter can count on you to keep sourcing moving without constant supervision.

Long term

You understand how sourcing, social media, talent community and applicants connect, and you regularly bring ideas that improve both candidate quality and engagement.

You are measured on results, quality and consistency, not on hours online.
