HR & Talent Acquisition — Remote

Important: we only review applications sent by email. Instructions are at the end.

About Leads Icon

We do performance marketing for the US market: campaigns on Meta, Google and TikTok for insurance and other verticals. We are a 100% remote team across Latin America and the US. We have media buying, creative (video editing, production and design), customer service, business development and tech teams.

The role

You will be the first HR person at Leads Icon, and you will own how we hire. This is a dual role: about 70% full-cycle recruiting and 30% people operations. It is not a coordination or admin job: you will not wait for applicants to show up or for someone else to define the search.

You report to the General Manager. Full time, Monday to Friday.

What you will do

Recruiting (about 70%)

• Own every search end to end: intake with the team lead, job post, sourcing, screening, interviews and close.

• Source actively through LinkedIn, referrals, communities and niche job boards, not just inbound applications.

• Hire for every team: media buying, customer service, business development, tech and, above all, creative (video editors, producers, copywriters). Use practical tests that show real skill, not just a CV or portfolio.

• Present 2 or 3 vetted finalists to each team lead, with your recommendation.

• Keep an active talent pool so we never start from zero.

People operations (about 30%)

• Run onboarding and offboarding with care and respect.

• Build and run the vacation, time-off and leave policy, with a single record.

• Own internal people communications and check in often with each team lead on how their team is doing.

How we will measure your work

• Days from a team lead's request to a shortlist of finalists.

• Searches where the team lead hires one of your finalists.

• New hires still with us after 90 days.

• Vacation and time off recorded and up to date.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years in recruiting or HR, running your own searches end to end. You can point to hires you made through active sourcing, not just inbound applications.

• Experience recruiting remotely in Latin America.

• Upper-intermediate or advanced English (B2+), written and spoken: you will work with team leads in the US.

• Based in Latin America.

• Good judgment to make a clear recommendation, not just pass along options, and discretion with sensitive information.

• Organized and detail-oriented: an unanswered candidate or an outdated record bothers you. (The keyword is TALENT26.)

Nice to have

• Experience hiring for a digital marketing company or agency, across creative, media buying, sales or support roles.

• Experience building HR processes from scratch.

• Using AI every day to screen, summarize interviews or write.

What we offer

• 100% remote work.

• A new role with direct impact on how the company grows, working directly with leadership.

• A team that moves fast and measures results.

If you meet "What we are looking for", apply: "Nice to have" is a bonus, not a requirement.
