Position Overview

You see people first.

Success for you means ensuring that the right human is placed in the right role, at the right time.

This position’s primary focus is to partner with the Talent Acquisition Team to fill vacant Executive Assistant roles across North America.

You’ll be responsible for making sure Priority VA and its clients and all candidates have a high-touch, intimate, and professional experience with our team.

The Talent Acquisition Specialist role is PERFECT for you if you’re an intuitive, efficient self-starter with a knack for getting to know people quickly.

You’ve held a recruiting, HR, or talent acquisition role for at least three years and you have no problem juggling multiple pipelines and candidates with excellence and ease. Your calm makes the clients calm as they look to fill right-hand roles in their businesses. Your excitement keeps candidates engaged and ready to tackle the lengthy hiring processes our client’s high standards require.

You understand that it’s the little things that really count, a consistent update or random check-in out of the blue – and this mentality helps you excel in building relationships with everyone.

You’re excited to work in staffing and talent. People don’t annoy you, they invigorate you, and a role deemed difficult for others to fill actually fires you up to help leaders know that help is on the way.

Essential qualities for our ideal candidate include the ability to communicate with empathy and honesty, even when delivering difficult news, as well as attention to detail and strong interpersonal skills that ensure discretion and confidentiality for both clients and candidates.

This is a remote, full-time position and is NOT the right fit if you have other clients or other jobs that require your attention during normal working hours.

We value collaboration, however, as a fully remote business, we need someone who is able to work independently most of the time.

We’re not your average recruiting company — we strive not to be. So if the normal corporate recruiting world makes your head spin, we’ll be a breath of fresh air to be in a place where your out-of-the-box ideas will be heard, appreciated, and often implemented!

The Duties and Responsibilities

The mission of the Talent Acquisition Specialist (TA) is to contribute to the overall success of Priority VA by supporting our Talent Team in a variety of ways. This position is integral to helping our company, which is largely referral based, continue to grow. We grow only when we create great experiences for candidates and excellent placements for our clients.

The TA is reliable, consistent, and able to maintain a positive attitude in the workplace. We value work-life balance and encourage employees to manage their personal lives in a way that allows them to fully engage with their work responsibilities.

Since the TA will engage with a variety of personalities regularly via phone, text, email, and video conferencing tools such as Zoom, the TA must be able to maintain a friendly, engaging, and professional demeanor and appearance at all times.

• Use discernment in following all EEOC compliance requirements when engaging with candidates and clients
• Technically proficient in today’s ever-changing tech landscape

How You Show Up

• You have a professional remote work environment and you have a dedicated work space free from distractions or interruptions during your regularly scheduled work hours and you can be relied upon to get stuff done consistently, and on time from your home office.
• You are positive, have a high-empathy attitude, and get-it-done approach to life and work.
• Highly organized and able to manage your own workflows without being micro-managed.
