About Talent Advantage

Talent Advantage is a Toronto-based recruitment and staffing firm helping companies identify and hire exceptional professionals across a wide range of industries, including Information Technology, Accounting & Finance, Engineering, Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Legal and Executive Leadership.

We take a professional, relationship-driven approach to recruitment. Our team works closely with both clients and candidates to understand what makes a successful match—not simply to fill a position.

We are looking for an intelligent, highly motivated and personable Junior Recruitment & Talent Coordinator to join our growing team and work directly with our Founder/Managing Director.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is early in their career and wants to develop real-world experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, business communication and professional services.

About the Role

This is not a traditional administrative VA position .

You will become an important part of our recruitment process and will communicate directly with candidates throughout the hiring process. You will receive comprehensive training on our recruitment methodology, candidate screening process, systems and communication standards.

You do not need extensive recruitment experience. We are much more interested in finding someone who is smart, articulate, professional, eager to learn and naturally good with people.

You will initially work closely with the Founder/Managing Director and gradually take ownership of specific parts of the recruitment process.

What You’ll Be Doing

Candidate Communication & Screening

• Conduct brief first-round screening interviews with candidates by phone/video
• Follow structured interview guides and screening criteria
• Build rapport with candidates and create a positive candidate experience
• Ask appropriate follow-up questions and identify relevant information
• Assess basic qualifications, communication skills and overall fit
• Document interview notes and provide clear recommendations
• Coordinate next steps with candidates

Recruitment Coordination

• Work closely with the Founder/Managing Director to manage candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Review candidate information and prepare for screening calls
• Coordinate interviews and follow-ups
• Maintain accurate candidate information in our ATS/CRM
• Communicate professionally with candidates throughout the process
• Assist with sourcing and candidate outreach when required

Client & Business Support

• Join client meetings with the Founder/Managing Director
• Take detailed meeting notes and track follow-up items
• Help prepare candidate information and recruitment materials
• Record short, personalized video introductions to prospective clients
• Assist with professional written communication to clients and candidates
• Take ownership of follow-up tasks and ensure they are completed

General Support

• Assist with various recruiting and business-development-related projects
• Help organize information and keep recruitment processes moving efficiently
• Learn and utilize modern recruitment technology, ATS/CRM systems and AI-powered tools
• Take on increasing responsibility as you become more familiar with our business

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for potential , not necessarily years of experience.

The ideal candidate is someone who is:

• An excellent communicator in English—both written and spoken
• Confident speaking with professionals over the phone and video
• Naturally personable, friendly and comfortable building rapport
• Intelligent, curious and quick to learn
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Professional and mature in their communication
• Comfortable following processes while also using good judgment
• Proactive rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Reliable and accountable
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Positive, ambitious and eager to develop professionally
• Comfortable learning new technology and software
• Able to handle confidential candidate and client information professionally

Education & Experience

Required:

• Excellent spoken and written English

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent educational background
• Reliable internet connection and a professional remote-work environment

Nice to Have:

• Recruitment or talent acquisition experience
• Customer service experience
• Sales or business development experience
• Interviewing or phone-based experience
• Experience using an ATS/CRM
• Experience working remotely with North American companies

Recruitment experience is NOT required.

We are willing to train the right person from the ground up.

Why This Role Is Different

You won’t be spending your entire day doing repetitive administrative work.

You will be speaking with real professionals, conducting interviews, participating in client meetings, learning how recruitment works and working directly with the leadership of a Canadian recruitment company.

You will receive hands-on training and gradually take ownership of meaningful parts of the recruitment process.

For the right person, this role can develop into a broader Recruitment / Talent Acquisition career path with increasing responsibility.

Working Hours

Full-Time

Primarily aligned with Eastern Time (With flexibility to finish at 1pm EST) to support our Canadian and North American clients and candidates.

Some flexibility may be available depending on business requirements.

Compensation

80,000–1200,000 per month , depending on qualifications and experience.

The right candidate does not need years of experience. We are willing to invest in training someone with exceptional potential.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

If you’re the type of person who:

• Picks things up quickly
• Communicates confidently with people you’ve never met
• Can have a natural conversation rather than simply read from a script
• Takes pride in doing things properly
• Is comfortable asking questions when you don’t understand something
• Wants to learn how businesses actually operate
• Enjoys working with people
• Wants more responsibility than a traditional VA role
• Is ambitious and wants to grow with a company

we’d love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please include a short 60–90 second video introducing yourself and email it to info@talentadvantage.ca with Subject Line "Video Introduction - YourName"
