ABOUT ARCA

Arca helps international companies build exceptional overseas teams. We do more than match keywords on a résumé—we identify people who can genuinely perform the work, communicate effectively, and succeed in a distributed company.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring a Creative Recruiter to source, evaluate, and hire video editors, motion designers, multimedia designers, graphic designers, content creators, and social media managers for international clients.

This role is for someone who has recruited creative professionals within a company, creative agency, staffing firm, or RPO. You should be comfortable reviewing portfolios, reels, social channels, and work samples; asking candidates intelligent questions about their actual contribution; and recommending the people genuinely worth interviewing.

You do not need to be a professional designer or editor. You do need enough creative judgment to recognize strong work, identify weak or misleading portfolios, and understand the differences between creative disciplines.

ROLES YOU WILL RECRUIT

• Video Editors

• Motion Designers and Animators

• Multimedia Designers

• Graphic and Brand Designers

• Social Media Managers

• Content Creators

• Creative Strategists

• Video Producers

• Short-Form Content Editors

• Other creative, marketing, and production professionals

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Lead full-cycle recruiting from hiring-manager intake through sourcing, screening, assessment, offer, and onboarding handoff.

• Translate incomplete client briefs into clear candidate profiles, job descriptions, sourcing plans, and evaluation scorecards.

• Source active and passive candidates through LinkedIn, Behance, Dribbble, Vimeo, YouTube, portfolio websites, referrals, job boards, and creative communities.

• Review résumés, portfolios, reels, case studies, social channels, and relevant performance data before presenting candidates.

• Determine what each candidate personally contributed to collaborative projects.

• Evaluate craft, storytelling, pacing, originality, brand alignment, technical execution, audience awareness, and commercial judgment.

• Conduct structured interviews covering experience, communication, motivation, compensation, availability, remote-work readiness, and role fit.

• Coordinate relevant work samples or creative assessments and maintain consistent evaluation standards.

• Prepare concise candidate summaries explaining each person’s strengths, supporting evidence, concerns, and recommended interview focus.

• Maintain accurate candidate stages, notes, tasks, and communications in the ATS.

• Build reusable talent pipelines before client hiring becomes urgent.

• Track response rates, shortlist acceptance, time to shortlist, interview conversion, offer acceptance, and placement results.

• Advise clients about talent availability, compensation expectations, and unrealistic combinations of skills.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• At least three years of full-cycle recruiting experience within a company, creative agency, staffing firm, or RPO.

• Demonstrated experience recruiting creative, media, design, marketing, content, or social media professionals.

• A record of moving candidates from sourcing through accepted offers or successful placements.

• Confidence reviewing portfolios, reels, social accounts, case studies, and creative work samples.

• The ability to distinguish a candidate’s actual contribution and problem-solving ability from polished presentation.

• Strong passive-sourcing skills across LinkedIn and creative-specific platforms or communities.

• Experience conducting structured interviews and making evidence-based candidate recommendations.

• Excellent spoken and written English.

• Experience managing multiple searches while maintaining accurate ATS records and responsive candidate communication.

• Availability for meaningful overlap with U.S. Eastern Time.

• A dependable remote-work setup with backup internet or power options.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience recruiting professionals in the Philippines or other international markets.

• Experience hiring remote employees, freelancers, or independent contractors.

• Previous experience in creative production, advertising, design, content, or social media.

• Familiarity with common video, design, animation, and social media tools and workflows.

• Existing relationships within video, design, content, or social media communities.

• Experience developing recruiting scorecards, portfolio-review standards, or creative assessments.

• Measurable success improving response rates, time to fill, offer acceptance, or placement quality.

HOW SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED

Hiring managers consistently accept and interview your shortlists. The candidates you present have relevant, credible work, and your recommendations clearly explain their strengths, concerns, and supporting evidence.

High-quality passive candidates respond to your outreach, ATS records remain current, and applicants receive timely communication. Most importantly, your placements succeed after joining—not merely through offer acceptance.

WORK SETUP

This is a full-time remote position focused primarily on recruiting talent from the Philippines and nearby markets. You must be able to maintain meaningful overlap with U.S. Eastern Time and have a dependable workspace with backup connectivity or power options.
