Recruiter - Talent Pipeline and Candidate Community

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Recruiter - Talent Pipeline and Candidate Community based in Switzerland.

This is a fully remote, full-time recruiting role focused on building talent pipelines before hiring demand emerges. You will own a live, continuously engaged, and carefully vetted talent community across several business-critical role families. Your mission is to make strong candidates available within days rather than starting every search from scratch. Alongside filling active positions, you will maintain candidate relationships, improve recruiting processes, and use data to continuously raise the quality and speed of hiring. The environment is highly autonomous, metrics-driven, fast-paced, and focused on experimentation rather than bureaucracy. This opportunity is ideal for a recruiter who enjoys ownership, moves quickly, and sees talent communities as a strategic advantage rather than simply a database.

Accountabilities

Build, maintain, and continuously expand a proactive talent community by sourcing, interviewing, and vetting candidates before specific roles become available.

Segment candidates by role, seniority, readiness, availability, and other relevant criteria, keeping records accurate and identifying when candidate pools are becoming stale.

Maintain consistent re-engagement cadences to keep qualified candidates informed, interested, and ready for future opportunities.

Own full-cycle recruitment for multiple concurrent positions, from job posting and sourcing through screening, interviews, shortlisting, offer coordination, and successful placement.

Develop job postings that attract highly relevant candidates while clearly communicating expectations and discouraging poor-fit applications.

Partner with hiring managers to understand the genuine requirements and performance bar for each position, challenging unrealistic wish lists when appropriate.

Conduct structured, evidence-based screening and interviews and present concise, high-quality shortlists that hiring managers can trust.

Deliver a responsive candidate experience by acknowledging applications within 24 business hours and providing useful, honest feedback to candidates who reach the interview stage.

Maintain strong relationships with rejected candidates and potential future hires, creating a community that remains engaged and willing to reapply or refer others.

Use AI and automation to eliminate repetitive recruiting tasks, improve efficiency, and experiment with new sourcing, screening, and evaluation approaches.

Own at least one recruitment improvement initiative that strengthens processes or systems for the wider recruiting function.

Track and communicate recruiting performance through weekly metrics and scorecards, taking accountability for delays, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions.

Work toward ambitious delivery targets, including a 14-day or faster time to fill, candidate presentation within 24 hours of a new client request, and strong conversion from presented candidates to interviews.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience personally building and maintaining a talent pool, bench, or candidate community, including interviewing and vetting candidates before roles opened, maintaining engagement, and ultimately hiring from that pool.

Recruitment experience within at least one of the following areas: customer service or support, executive assistance, virtual reception or front-desk roles, accounting or bookkeeping, or sales operations.

Experience recruiting for the U.S. market and working directly with U.S.-based companies or hiring managers.

Proven ability to manage multiple open roles simultaneously and deliver hires against tight deadlines.

Advanced written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate confidently and professionally with candidates, hiring managers, and clients.

Ability to work Monday through Friday with substantial overlap with U.S. Central Time business hours.

Reliable home-working setup and the ability to operate independently in a fully remote environment.

Strong candidate assessment skills, with the ability to distinguish between candidates who meet basic qualifications and those who are genuinely ready to succeed in a role.

High ownership, accountability, organization, and follow-through, with comfort having performance measured through clear weekly metrics.

Comfortable experimenting with new sourcing channels, AI tools, screening approaches, and automation, and using data to determine what works.

Preferred: Experience recruiting remote talent across regions such as LATAM, the Philippines, or Africa.

Preferred: Background in staffing agencies, BPO, RPO, offshore staffing, or similar high-volume recruiting environments.

Preferred: Experience using Workable or another applicant tracking system effectively.

Preferred: Previous experience in a highly metrics-driven environment where weekly output and results were transparent.
