What we’re looking for:

We are looking for a Senior Talent Specialist to join our growing team and play a key role in the final stages of the recruitment process. This position is ideal for someone who has a natural talent for evaluating people, thrives on connecting the right candidates with the right opportunities, and enjoys working across multiple roles and industries.

You’ll be responsible for assessing top-tier candidates, aligning them with client needs, and helping ensure a smooth transition from finalist to hire. While recruitment experience is a plus, we care most about your fluency in English, passion for talent matching, and your ability to bring structure, energy, and collaboration to everything you do.

Responsibilities—what youll do:

• Conduct final-round interviews with shortlisted candidates, assessing both technical fit and alignment with client culture and values.
• Write clear, structured candidate evaluations to support internal decision-making and client presentations.
• Partner closely with recruiters and account managers to understand client needs and refine candidate profiles throughout the hiring process.
• Match top candidates to open roles by assessing qualifications, motivations, and long-term fit.
• Guide candidates through the final stages of the recruitment journey, ensuring a smooth and professional experience from interview to offer.
• Provide timely, thoughtful feedback to candidates, helping maintain a high standard of candidate experience.
• Join calibration discussions to align on hiring bar, candidate expectations, and interview consistency across the team.
• Assist with hiring-related documentation, tracking systems, and process improvements to support a seamless recruitment operation.
• Contribute to special projects or team initiatives—whether improving interview guides, supporting client feedback loops, or updating role requirements.
• Collaborate with teammates across functions to ensure a cohesive, high-touch hiring process that reflects our standards and values.

Requirements:

• Previous experience in recruiting, interviewing, or HR
• Exceptional English communication skills—both written and spoken. You can lead interviews and write candidate assessments with clarity and polish.
• Genuine interest in recruitment—you’re curious about people, love asking questions, and take pride in good judgment.
• Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail.
• A team player who thrives in collaborative, fast-moving environments.
• Flexible and open to working across different tasks, roles, or projects—no day looks exactly the same.
• Comfortable with basic tools (email, calendars, documentation) and quick to learn new systems.
• Ability to work U.S. business hours (Pacific Time, Central Time, or Eastern Time)
• This position is for serious, career-oriented candidates

Other qualities we look for:

• Strong judgment and intuition in evaluating candidates and identifying long-term fit.
• Emotional intelligence and empathy when engaging with candidates and clients.
• Intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in people, roles, and industries.
• Resilience and composure when navigating ambiguity or high-volume periods.
• Receptiveness to feedback and a growth-oriented mindset.
• Proactive and solution-oriented—you anticipate needs, prevent issues before they arise, and take ownership of tasks from start to finish.
• Consistent professionalism in communication, conduct, and presentation.

What we offer:

• Best salaries in the industry
• Permanent ability to work from anywhere in the world
• Opportunities for growth and advancement
• A fast-paced and collaborative environment
• Warm and friendly company culture
• Full benefits

Benefits at Persona:

• Health insurance
• Unlimited paid time off (paid sick and vacation leaves)
• Annual bonuses based on performance
• Monthly tech allowance
• Opportunity to be paid in your currency of choice
• Others depending on seniority

This is a full-time and long-term role. We are looking for individuals who are ready to fully commit their time and energy to one company and grow and develop along with that company. All roles at Persona are 100% work-from-anywhere (work from home or wherever it suits you best). If this is your first time working for a U.S. company, that’s okay; we provide guidance and assistance getting set up as a remote professional. Once hired, we will carefully match you to a client company of ours that perfectly suits your career background, skills, and goals.
