Headhunter / Talent Acquisition Specialist
Remote | Up to $1,000/Month Base + Commission Per Successful Hire
Growing Pains Marketing is looking for a proactive, resourceful Headhunter to help us identify and recruit high-performing talent as our agency continues to grow.
We are a fast-growing digital marketing agency specializing in e-commerce brands operating in challenging and restricted advertising categories. We need someone who can consistently find strong candidates—not simply collect applications.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Source qualified candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, online communities, referrals, and direct outreach.
Proactively headhunt candidates who may not be actively applying.
Recruit for positions such as:
Account Managers
Media Buyers
Creative Strategists
Video Editors and Content Creators
Operations and Administrative Tea
Sales and Leadership Positions
Conduct initial screening interviews.
Evaluate candidates based on experience, communication, reliability, culture fit, and role-specific requirements.
Present a shortlist of the strongest candidates to the hiring manager.
Coordinate interviews, follow-ups, assessments, and hiring decisions.
Maintain an organized recruiting pipeline and provide weekly updates.
Build a long-term talent database so we have qualified candidates available before positions become urgent.
What We’re Looking For
Previous experience in recruiting, headhunting, talent acquisition, or staffing.
Strong candidate-sourcing and direct-outreach skills.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Comfortable interviewing candidates over video.
Able to distinguish genuinely strong candidates from people who simply interview well.
Highly organized, responsive, and accountable.
Comfortable recruiting both international and U.S.-based candidates.
Able to work independently without needing constant direction.
Experience recruiting for digital marketing agencies, e-commerce companies, or remote teams is strongly preferred.
How Success Will Be Measured
Number of qualified candidates presented.
Interview-to-hire conversion rate.
Time required to fill open positions.
Quality and performance of successful hires.
Percentage of hires who remain with the company beyond the initial onboarding period.
Accuracy and consistency of recruiting pipeline updates.
Compensation
$1,000 USD monthly base salary
Additional commission for every successful hire
Commission will vary based on the seniority and difficulty of the position.
Hiring commissions are paid after the successful candidate completes the agreed initial employment period.
Additional performance incentives may be available for consistently filling positions with high-quality, long-term tea
Ideal Candidate
The ideal person is competitive, persuasive, highly resourceful, and enjoys finding great people.
You should be comfortable reaching out to candidates directly, following up consistently, and searching beyond the obvious job boards. We do not want someone who simply posts a job and waits for applications. We want a true headhunter who knows how to find exceptional talent.
