Careers · Part-time · Remote · No recruiting experience needed
You are comfortable calling someone who was not expecting to hear from you — and quiet enough to hear what they tell you. This job is conversations: calling candidates about open management roles, finding out what they actually want, and deciding who is worth the founder's time.
HumanWorks places management and professional talent — hotel and restaurant groups, multi-site operators, engineering firms, and technology — and we built our own software to do it. The system works the market, scores the openings and builds the candidate lists, so the person on the phone spends their day in conversations instead of in spreadsheets. There are several hundred qualified people in it right now, with numbers attached, waiting on a call.
You thrive here if you are willing to start the conversation, and there is real selling in it — most of the people you call were not looking, and your job is to make them glad you called. The system tells you who to call and why they fit; some days that is a general manager in New Jersey, some days a project manager at an engineering firm, some days a VP of operations or a CFO in Minnesota. You find out what they actually want and put the strong ones in front of our founder and lead Executive Recruiter.
$22.00–$25.00 per hour to start, W2, paid twice monthly, with milestone bonuses as you hit them. Your rate is reviewed when we talk about going full time — and equity is part of that conversation, not this one. We would rather pay you real money now than a fraction of a percent you cannot spend.
A real career track, with a real credential. This is step one toward Talent Consultant. HumanWorks places under licence from Patrice & Associates, and when you are ready we put you through their recruiter training and certification — then you carry your own searches and earn on what you place.
You work with the founder directly — not three layers down. You will see how the whole business runs, and your read on a candidate actually decides something.
Real work in week one. No shadowing, no busywork. Live roles, live candidates, from the first day.
You help build the job. We are hiring this role intending to hire more of them. Whoever does it first helps decide how it works for everyone after.
Clear and Simple Schedule. Remote and sometimes in-person if you are in New York or Jersey City, 20 hours a week during key times candidates are available. You’ll work 4 hours a day 5 days a week between 8AM and 5PM.
Helpful, not required: time in hospitality, engineering, technology, or any people-facing operation where you dealt with staff and customers. No recruiting experience needed — we will teach you that part. If you are not sure you fit, apply anyway and let us decide.
Ready to take the next step?
No cover letter and no online form — the email is the cover letter. Send us your resume, your phone number, and a few lines about what you have done and why this interests you.
Or write to admin@humanworks.ai with "Associate Recruiter" in the subject and your resume attached.
Where you have worked, what you are looking for, and your questions. Short on purpose.
We hand you a job description and ten minutes to read it, then you screen a candidate while we listen. It is the actual job, so it is the actual test — and we are listening for whether you can get someone talking, not for a polished script.
No homework, no third round. We move quickly and you will always know where you stand.
