Filling a role and building momentum aren't the same thing, even though they can look similar from the outside. We're hiring a Remote Contract Recruiter who understands that difference — someone who moves fast on short-term hiring without treating the people involved as transactions. Fully remote, $73,000 a year.
What You'd Be Doing
You'd be the main point of contact for hiring sprints, contract-to-hire decisions, and placements that need to move quickly yet feel deliberate. That means sourcing freelancers, consultants, and temp-to-hire professionals who are actually ready to contribute on day one, not just available. It also means keeping the process moving — candidates and hiring leads aligned, paperwork handled, nothing stalling out because someone missed a follow-up.
Where Your Time Goes
- Sourcing project-ready talent across freelance, consulting, and temp-to-hire channels
- Keeping the hiring process frictionless from first outreach through final paperwork
- Using pipeline data to spot bottlenecks and improve conversion rates over time
- Helping teams navigate transitions, urgent staffing needs, or scaling contract teams
- Treating short-term recruiting as a real relationship, not a transaction — thoughtful and transparent at every step
How the Team Works
This is an async-first setup, so you'll have real flexibility in how you structure your day, as long as stakeholders stay in the loop. Weekly syncs and shared docs keep everyone pointed in the same direction without requiring constant meetings. The core tools are Greenhouse, Slack, Notion, and Zoom — nothing exotic, just enough to stay coordinated without friction.
What the First 90 Days Usually Look Like
- Filling somewhere between 6 and 10 contract or temp-to-hire roles across different departments
- A time-to-fill number that's trending down, with hiring managers starting to trust your calls
- Contributing to at least one workflow redesign — outreach, scheduling, or something else that was creating friction
What You'll Need
- Education: Bachelor's degree
- Experience: 3+ years of recruiting experience, including at least 1 year focused specifically on contract or temp staffing
- Staying level-headed and on top of things even when priorities shift midweek
- Clear, intentional communication — whether it's a candidate check-in or a quick hiring update on Slack
- A knack for finding talent outside the obvious job boards and channels
- The relationship-building instinct to keep connections warm even after a contract wraps up
How This Actually Sounds in Practice
You might find yourself telling a hiring manager, "This candidate's a strong short-term fit, but could grow into something permanent if we scope it right — want to explore that?" Or flagging a broken process directly: "We're losing time on scheduling, let me simplify the handoffs." Naukri Mitra tends to attract recruiters who talk like this — direct, practical, and already thinking two steps ahead of the request at hand.
Compensation and What Comes With It
- $73,000 annually, paid on a consistent and transparent schedule
- Flexible hours and workflows built on trust rather than close oversight
- A remote-first setup with tools that actually support productive, connected work
- A real path toward recruiting operations, client strategy, or retained search over time
Why the Work Matters
Contract hiring isn't just about patching a gap. The people placed through this role end up supporting product launches, stabilizing teams mid-transition, and showing up exactly when timing is tightest. Get the match right, and a project moves forward instead of stalling. That's the actual stakes behind a role that can otherwise sound purely operational.
