ABOUT TALENT ADVANTAGE

Talent Advantage is a Canadian recruitment agency that places permanent and contract talent for companies across Canada and the US. Our clients range from fast-growing tech startups to established firms in finance, real estate, engineering and professional services. Many work with us as an embedded recruitment partner, so our recruiters run several searches for the same client at once.

THE ROLE

You will own searches from intake to offer across a wide range of functions: software and cloud engineers, account executives, marketers, accountants and controllers, civil and electrical engineers, and directors and VPs. You will work 6 to 10 open roles at a time, reporting to the Managing Director in Toronto. Success means a steady flow of qualified, well-screened candidates that clients want to interview, and placements every month.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Join intake calls with hiring managers to learn each role's must-haves, pay range and selling points.

• Build sourcing strategies and Boolean searches in LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards and our ATS.

• Run personalized outreach to passive candidates by LinkedIn InMail, email and phone.

• Screen candidates by phone or video for skills, motivation, pay expectations, availability and work authorization.

• Write clear candidate submissions and present shortlists to clients, usually within 5 to 7 business days of intake.

• Schedule interviews, prepare candidates, collect feedback and keep both sides moving.

• Support offers: confirm pay, references and start dates, and keep candidates engaged through to their first day.

• Keep the ATS and pipeline tracker current, and report weekly on submissions, interviews and placements.

REQUIREMENTS

• 1+ years of full-cycle recruitment, with at least 6 months recruiting for US or Canadian clients (agency, RPO or staffing firm).

• Proven experience across a mix of roles, such as IT and technical, sales and marketing, accounting and finance, engineering, and leadership hires. Single-industry experience alone is not enough.

• Strong sourcing skills: LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean and X-ray search, and job boards such as Indeed.

• Excellent spoken and written English, and confidence speaking with senior hiring managers and candidates.

• A track record of hitting submission, interview and placement targets.

• Comfort working with an ATS or CRM, Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.

• Ability to work Eastern Time business hours, Monday to Friday.

• A reliable computer, stable high-speed internet with a backup connection, and a quiet workspace for calls.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with Canadian hiring, such as work permits, PR status and provincial pay norms.

• Executive or senior-level search experience (director, VP, C-suite).

• Experience using AI tools for sourcing, screening notes or outreach.

• Experience with outreach tools such as lemlist or Instantly, or a bachelor's degree in HR, business or psychology.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Monthly Base salary of ZAR 17,000-20,000 per month, set by experience, plus a monthly bonus for every placement you make.

• Full-time, long-term remote work with a stable Canadian agency.

• A varied desk: real searches across tech, sales, finance, engineering and leadership, not one narrow niche.

• Direct coaching from a recruiter with 10+ years of North American agency experience.

• Paid tools, including LinkedIn Recruiter and AI sourcing tools.

• A path to Senior Recruiter or Account Manager as you grow.
