About The Position

We are seeking a versatile and adaptable Talent Specialist to join our Staffing team. This role combines both sourcing and recruiting responsibilities: you will own the full candidate lifecycle — from proactive sourcing and outreach, coordinating interviews, and guiding candidates through the hiring process. The focus is on staffing solutions for technical roles (direct hire, contract-to-hire, and temporary placements) in Manufacturing/Industrial Products & Services. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers, client account leads, and other internal teams to ensure we build strong, scalable candidate pipelines while delivering an exceptional candidate experience. This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 3–4+ years of recruiting and/or sourcing experience, ideally within staffing or agency environments.
• Proven success filling direct hire, contract-to-hire, and temp roles.
• Proficiency in LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing platforms.
• Strong interviewing, candidate assessment, and pipeline management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience working with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, etc.).
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, rapidly growing company while managing multiple requisitions.
• Remote work experience preferred.

Nice To Haves

• You must be a world-class individual contributor to thrive at Toptal. You will not be here just to tell other people what to do.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute sourcing strategies to identify top talent across relevant industries and regions.
• Build and maintain strong pipelines for key staffing roles (e.g., engineers, technicians).
• Proactively source, identify, and engage candidates using multiple channels.
• Conduct candidate outreach, screening calls, and in-depth interviews to assess fit for direct hire, contract-to-hire, and temporary roles.
• Manage the full recruiting process: scheduling interviews, collecting feedback, extending offers, and supporting onboarding.
• Partner with internal account managers and client stakeholders to align on requirements, timelines, and hiring expectations.
• Track progress against KPIs (time-to-fill, pipeline health, quality of hire) and provide data-driven updates to leadership.
• Ensure compliance with staffing requirements, including documentation, background checks, and employment eligibility.
• Use ATS and sourcing tools to manage pipelines, keep data accurate, and maintain clear candidate records.
