Role Overview:

We are hiring a driven and experienced Recruiting Team Lead to manage a team of recruiters and ensure smooth, high-quality recruitment operations across the business.

  • Collaborate closely with senior leadership on capacity planning, hiring priorities, and operational improvements

  • Contribute to the development and refinement of internal processes and team documentation Required Qualifications:

  • Must come from a staffing agency background — this is non-negotiable and applications without this experience will not be considered

  • Experience in a team lead, senior recruiter, or managerial role with demonstrated people oversight responsibilities

  • Working knowledge of ATS platforms, with confidence managing pipelines and reporting functions

  • Strong written and spoken English, with clear and professional communication across all levels

  • Ability to balance hands-on recruiting tasks with team management responsibilities in a fast-paced environment

  • Must have prior remote work experience, be fluent with remote collaboration tools and platforms (such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar), and have ideally worked with US or UK-based companies. Applications without this experience will not be considered. Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting or owning client accounts within a staffing or RPO environment

  • Exposure to recruitment analytics, performance dashboards, or reporting tools

  • Experience mentoring junior recruiters or contributing to team training and onboarding Tools & Technology:

  • ATS platform (experience with any major system)
