Summary of the Position:

We are seeking a Freelance International Recruiter who will be responsible for sourcing, recruiting, and onboarding cost-effective and quality talent while following local laws. We have several positions to fill, so this role may involve handling multiple recruitment processes simultaneously.

Target geographies will initially focus on Brazil, so cultural knowledge or experience in either of these regions is a plus. Deliverables will be organized in a transparent and measurable fashion, and submitted throughout the end to end recruitment process to showcase progress and performance.

You will collaborate and iterate closely with one of our co-founders and/or project manager to define deliverables, timelines, and ensure recruiting efforts align with company goals. Collaboration will typically take place over Slack and Zoom video meetings with cameras on and occasional screen sharing when needed.

Once the goals are set, you will take ownership of executing the work and will be responsible for delivering results within the agreed-upon parameters and timelines. Knowledge transfer, transparency and timely communication with all relevant stakeholders will be a critical part of your recruitment process to ensure we can collaborate effectively with you and participate seamlessly as needed.

• Estimated Weekly Hours: 10-20 hours per week based on company hiring needs and alignment with scheduling.
• Flexible Hours: Structure your workday and week as you see fit, while ensuring successful recruitment outcomes and effective communication with stakeholders.
• Meetings & Communication: Be available for meetings and communication with stakeholders throughout the week. Meeting times are typically between 1pm to 4pm PST, though times may vary.
• Meeting Frequency: Meetings are scheduled as needed, usually a few times per week, depending on stakeholder needs and recruitment phases.

About Us:

At Pet Awesome, we’re a small but ambitious e-commerce company specializing in pet products, currently serving our 4-legged customers (and their hoomans) in the USA and UK.

We’ve found product market fit with western women aged 25-54 who adore their small dogs as much as we do.

The projects we work on are often fun! The job comes with plenty of laughs and wagging tails as we solve problems for pets and rub human noses in the solution ;)

Our marketing isn’t just cheeky; we give pets a voice and share their perspective. To get a sense of our pet products and doggy personalities, check out our instagram @_PetAwesome_

Tail wagging and nose boops aside, we’re growing our geographically diverse and remote team of dependable and adaptable “hooman” professionals who strive for continuous improvement and place integrity first.

If you share our passion for pets, have a head for business, and embrace a growth mindset, consider joining our pack to help us build a lasting doggy empire!
