About Magic
Magic is a leading modern outsourcing platform that connects SMBs to high-quality remote workers, from SDRs to virtual assistants and more. With roots in Silicon Valley, and backing from top venture capitalists, our workers are supercharged with a combination of the latest AI technology and training.
Background
Our company came out of Y Combinator in 2015. Since then we've grown to 1000+ remote workers, with strong venture-backing (including Sequoia Capital) and over $30M in funding to date. We are fully remote across Asia and US time zones.
The Freelance Recruitment Specialist is primarily responsible for end-to-end recruitment and hiring of qualified global candidates to fill the specialized manpower requirements of our Boutique clients. This role focuses on sourcing, interviewing, and endorsing candidates for hard-to-fill, niche positions while ensuring that standard recruitment and selection processes are observed consistently.
WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE
You are running independently at 75–80% capacity within your first 30 days — handling assigned requisitions without constant check-ins.
You consistently hit 24–48 hour turnaround windows on endorsements, including on niche and hard-to-fill roles.
You conduct 2–4 structured candidate interviews per shift and your endorsement quality earns consistent sign-off from Recruitment Manager and Boutique clients.
You source candidates using Boolean search across LinkedIn and other channels without needing to be guided through each new requisition.
You proactively communicate blockers and status updates over Slack — no requisition goes dark because you were waiting for someone to ask.
Your win rate — onboardings versus total recommendations sent — meets or exceeds team benchmarks within your first full month.
WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR
You have never worked a night shift in a recruitment role and don't have a concrete plan for sustaining one long-term. Prior night shift recruitment experience is a hard requirement.
You have 5 or more years of recruitment experience and are firmly set in how things should be done. Highly tenured candidates consistently struggle adapting to Magic's approach.
You need real-time manager support to move forward on active requisitions. During nights, leadership is largely offline — you make the calls.
You are taking this role as a bridge while actively looking for something else. We need genuine alignment with the night shift schedule and role direction, not short-term availability.
You cannot build a Boolean search string on the spot. Sourcing is a daily core function, not an occasional one.
You have no hands-on ATS or CRM experience. You will be inside a recruitment system from day one.
You are not actually available for a permanent 11 PM – 8 AM Manila time schedule. This is not rotating and is not negotiable.
You measure your performance by how busy you were, not by what you delivered. This role is tracked by win rate, turnaround, and placement quality.
