The Ideal Candidate:
We’re looking for a driven professional with uncompromising standards—someone who values integrity, embraces self-criticism, and has a knack for problem-solving and value creation.
This role is not for the faint of heart. You’ll collaborate closely with our co-founder, who embraces first-principles thinking, iterates relentlessly, and holds himself and those around him to ever-increasing standards. If you prioritize work-life balance, boundaries, or a “good enough” mindset, our projects won’t be the right fit for you.
You should find energy—not exhaustion—in fast-paced feedback loops, an iterative process, and the pursuit of better. A sharp eye for detail, personal accountability, and a hunger for continuous improvement are essential. If you’re dependable, adaptable, motivated, and energized by an entrepreneurial startup work environment, we want to hear from you.
Summary of the Role:
The remote Recruiting Assistant is primarily responsible for providing recruitment support, information administration, and leveraging Artificial Intelligence to enhance operational efficiency throughout the end-to-end recruitment process.
You will be pivotal in building, testing, iterating, and refining recruitment-related workflows, SOPs, and guidelines. From sourcing candidates to maintaining our applicant tracking database and updating internal job descriptions, you will be the champion responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all recruitment information across the process.
In this role, you’ll be a versatile “jack/jill-of-all-trades,” reading between the lines, anticipating needs, and proactively finding solutions across a variety of ad hoc projects and tasks.
You will collaborate and iterate closely with Key Internal Stakeholders (KIS) to define deliverables, set timelines, and ensure recruiting efforts align with company goals. Collaboration will typically take place over Slack and Zoom video meetings with cameras on and occasional recording and screen sharing when needed.
Once the goals are set, you will take ownership of executing the work and be responsible for delivering results within the agreed-upon parameters and timelines. Knowledge transfer, transparency, and timely communication with all relevant stakeholders will be critical to ensure effective collaboration and seamless participation.
By working in partial overlap with Key Internal Stakeholders and communicating both directly and asynchronously, you will efficiently incorporate feedback and initiate next steps—freeing up their time and bandwidth.
Attention: Please do not apply if you can’t or won’t follow explicit instructions. We evaluate attention to detail at every stage of our hiring process.
- You are being assessed from the moment you read this sentence until hiring. Every email, file name, meeting, follow-up, deadline, etc. assesses your attention to detail and follow-through. If you fail to demonstrate this from the outset, you will not receive a response—saving both your time and ours.
- We rarely send reminders or correction prompts. If you notice you slipped, resend the corrected item on your own initiative. Silence from us likely means you’re eliminated until you self-correct.
- We expect most candidates will be turned off by this level of transparency and candor and will stop here—that’s by design. If you understand and appreciate why we operate this way and still proceed, you’re already demonstrating the judgment we value.
Compensation:
- Pay Rate: 400 PHP per Hour
- No Benefits: This is an independent contractor role; therefore, no additional benefits are provided.
Work Schedule & Availability:
- Estimated Weekly Hours: 10-30 based on company needs and workload.
- Flexible Hours: Structure your work schedule to meet agreed outcomes while maintaining effective communication and alignment with stakeholders.
- Meetings & Communication: Be available for meetings and discussions as needed, typically within 14:00 - 16:00 PST.
- Meeting Frequency: Meetings are scheduled as needed, depending on the evolving nature of projects.
