Primary Job Title : US Recruiter (Freelance)

About The Opportunity

Join a fast-paced Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) team focused on sourcing and hiring US-based tech and professional talent from remote delivery centres. This fully remote freelance role, based in India, supports high-velocity US hiring across engineering, product, customer success, and operations. You will partner closely with US hiring managers, own outcomes, and benefit from a supportive hiring operations team and clear performance metrics.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end US recruiting for assigned roles : source, screen, interview, and close candidates to meet agreed SLAs and hiring targets.
  • Proactively build and maintain talent pipelines for technical and non-technical roles using Boolean, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and niche boards.
  • Conduct structured interviews and present concise shortlists with evidence-based recommendations to hiring teams.
  • Coordinate interviews and stakeholder communication across US time zones (PST / EST), ensuring a professional and timely candidate experience.
  • Drive offer negotiations, reference checks, and smooth onboarding hand-offs while keeping the ATS and CRM current and accurate.
  • Own recruitment reporting (time-to-fill, pipeline health, conversion rates), surface insights, and recommend process improvements to improve quality and speed of hire.
  • Collaborate with hiring operations and hiring managers to refine role briefs, screening criteria, and selection processes.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Have

  • 2+ years of hands-on US recruiting experience (freelance, agency, or in-house) with proven placements for remote US roles.
  • Advanced sourcing skills (Boolean, X-ray, LinkedIn Recruiter) and experience mapping passive talent across channels.
  • Practical experience with an ATS (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Workday) and disciplined CRM hygiene.
  • Excellent written and spoken English; comfortable interacting with US hiring managers and candidates across PST / EST.
  • Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills with a consistent track record of closing offers.

    • Preferred

  • Background recruiting for engineering, product, customer success, or sales for US startups or mid-market companies.
  • Familiarity with technical screening basics (coding assessment workflows and role-specific evaluation) and sourcing tools (Hiretual, Gem, SeekOut).

    • Benefits & Culture Highlights

  • Flexible freelance engagement with competitive per-hire rates and timely payouts.
  • Autonomy to manage your schedule and choose roles, supported by an experienced hiring operations team.
  • Exposure to diverse US clients and scaling roles—ideal for building a high-impact recruiting portfolio.
  • Collaborative environment with clear metrics and regular knowledge-sharing to help you sharpen your craft.

    • This role is ideal for proactive, metrics-driven recruiters in India who specialise in US hiring and prefer freelance engagement. If you are results-focused and enjoy owning the full recruiting lifecycle, we'd like to hear from you—please apply with a brief note on recent US roles you've filled.
