Efficient Tech Recruiter for Pre-Screening Engineers

Technical Recruiter Needed — Engineer Pre-Screening | $50–$100 per Week

This is a recruitment role, NOT a software development position. Please apply only if you have recruitment experience.

I manage engineering recruitment on behalf of a client and am looking for an experienced freelance recruiter to handle candidate communication and pre-screening independently. I have limited time for frequent chats and meetings, so you will coordinate the screening process and provide recordings, assessment submissions, and clear recommendations for my review.

Your Responsibilities

Manage candidate communication, schedule screening calls, explain role requirements, and coordinate the following mandatory screening stages for all candidates:

Introductory screening call: Interview the candidate about their background, relevant experience, communication skills, availability, and compensation expectations. Record the call with the candidate’s permission.
Take-home assessment: Send the agreed assessment, explain the instructions, follow up on deadlines, and collect the completed submission and a short screen-recorded walkthrough of the candidate’s work.

For each screened candidate, submit an organized report containing the screening recording, assessment submission and walkthrough, a brief evaluation, and your recommendation on whether to proceed. Do not submit candidates as fully screened unless they have completed both stages.

I will provide the role requirements and agree on the assessment and screening criteria with you before work begins.

Requirements
Previous recruitment experience, preferably hiring software engineers or other technical professionals.
Fluent spoken and written English, with confidence conducting screening calls.
Ability to work independently, follow a consistent screening process, and maintain organized candidate records.
Professional handling of candidate information, assessments, and recordings. All recordings must be made with the participants’ knowledge and permission.
Budget and Working Arrangement

$50–$100 USD per week, paid weekly. This is a part-time freelance engagement. The exact weekly payment, workload, and deliverables will be agreed before starting.

This is the total weekly budget—not an hourly rate or a per-candidate payment. Applications requiring more than $100 per week will not be considered.

How to Apply

Start your proposal with “RECRUITER — WEEKLY BUDGET ACCEPTED.”

Briefly describe your recruitment experience, the engineering roles you have screened for, your weekly availability, and your expected payment within the stated budget. Explain how you would organize screening calls, take-home assessments, and candidate reports.
