Recruiting Team Lead (US Market – Strong Sourcer & Hands-On Recruiter)

Summary
Overview

We are a small, fast-growing Florida-based recruitment agency focused on the U.S. market. We work across startups, healthcare, construction, legal, IT, and other growth sectors.

We are currently a team of four and scaling quickly, with a goal of growing to ten recruiters by the end of the year.

As founder, I’ve been directly managing both business development and delivery. As we grow, I need someone strong beside me — someone who can help coordinate the team while still actively recruiting when needed, on a demand basis.

This is not a pure management project. This is a hands-on Recruiting Team Lead scope for someone who:
- Loves sourcing
- Enjoys running candidate calls
- Gets excited about cracking difficult searches
- And can step in to lead when things get busy

If a recruiter is out sick, you jump in.
If a search gets stuck, you deep dive.
If a role is urgent, you own it.

This role is critical to our next phase of growth.

What You’ll Do
- Lead and guide a small recruitment team
- Build sourcing strategies for new searches
- Deep-dive into LinkedIn and advanced Boolean searches
- Run first-round candidate calls when needed
- Coach recruiters on screening and call structure
- Personally work on roles when capacity requires it
- Manage multiple active requisitions
- Identify bottlenecks and improve processes
- Ensure delivery quality meets U.S. standards
You will both lead and execute.

We Expect You Bring
- Strong experience recruiting for U.S.-based roles (mandatory)
- Advanced LinkedIn sourcing skills
- Strong Boolean search expertise
- Experience handling multiple open roles simultaneously
- Fluent professional English (verbal + written)
- Comfortable running candidate interviews
- Ownership mindset
- Calm under pressure
- Process-oriented but action-driven
- Availability to work in US business hours.

It's Ideal But Not Required If You Have
- Agency recruiting experience
- Experience mentoring or leading recruiters
- Experience working with distributed or offshore teams
- Exposure to multiple industries

Who This Is For
This role is for someone who:
- Loves recruitment at a technical level
- Still enjoys being hands-on
- Thinks strategically but executes tactically
- Can lead without ego
- Steps up when things get messy
- Thrives in fast-moving environments
- Enjoys solving sourcing puzzles

If you only want to manage and not recruit, this is not the role.
If you enjoy both building strategy and running searches yourself, we should talk.

Hiring Process
- I will review all applications personally.
From there:
- I will select 3–5 freelancers for a paid test that will involve up to 4 hours of work.
- You will be asked to develop sourcing strategies for two real roles I recently worked on, recording your work live with loom.com.

This allows me to understand how you think and structure searches.
Since I handled these roles myself, I’ll be able to compare your approach to mine and evaluate alignment.

After the evaluation:
- I will extend a longer-term contract to the freelancerwho best aligns with the level of thinking and execution I’m looking for.

To Apply, Please Include:
- Summary of your US recruiting experience
- Industries you’ve recruited for
- Example of a Boolean string you’ve built recently
- Your weekly availability
