At ProService, we empower employers to succeed in Hawaii, and that starts with our own team. Every great hire we make strengthens the service local businesses count on for payroll, HR, and benefits. Our Talent Acquisition team is growing that bench, and we're bringing on a contract sourcer to help us find the people who are hardest to find.
This is a sourcing-focused independent contractor (1099) engagement, not full-cycle recruiting. You'll go after passive talent for specialized, priority roles in sales, engineering, product, legal, and insurance, in a small, connected Hawaii market where every outreach reflects on our reputation. Success means our TA Partners have qualified, well-screened candidates in hand within days of a new req, and that the people you find are the ones who get hired.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
- Source and engage passive candidates for hard-to-fill roles using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean and X-ray search, referrals, and local Hawaii networks
- Conduct structured talent acquisition phone screens using ProService's interview framework, with notes clear enough to act on without a re-screen
- Submit qualified candidates to our TA Partners with concise, scorecard-based summaries and close the loop on follow-up questions
- Review inbound applicants on assigned reqs and flag top matches within two business days
- Re-prioritize quickly for priority requisitions while keeping existing candidate pipelines warm
- Maintain accurate candidate activity and pipeline status in our applicant tracking system (ATS)
IS THIS ROLE RIGHT FOR YOU?
This role sources and screens, but it doesn't own hiring manager relationships or final submittal decisions. Our TA Partners do. If you want to run the full cycle end to end, this probably isn't the right seat. If you love the hunt and take pride in handing off candidates who are ready for the next conversation, you'll do well here. Priorities can shift quickly when a priority req comes in, and adapting without letting the rest of your pipeline go cold is part of the work.
Outbound sourcing and rigorous screens are not optional. You won't be figuring it out alone. We'll calibrate with you on every new req, review your early screens together, and give you direct, timely feedback so you can hit our bar quickly. You'll have a clear line to the TA team for questions, and priorities set each week so you always know where to focus.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM
You're a seasoned recruiter or sourcer, not someone in their first recruiting role, with a track record of filling specialized roles through outbound work. You know the Hawaii talent market, write outreach that earns replies, and work independently once priorities are set.
You're probably a fit if
- You build pipelines from scratch when the applicant flow is close to zero. You filled a niche role no job board could reach by mapping local employers and going direct, and the hiring team finally had real choices instead of settling.
- You know where Hawaii talent sits and how to reach it. You tapped a local professional association to surface a candidate who wasn't looking, and a team that had been short-staffed for months got the help it needed.
- You run screens that give the next interviewer something to work with. Your notes were clear enough that a hiring manager skipped a re-screen and moved straight to an interview, saving the candidate a week of waiting.
- You take feedback on your work and visibly adjust. After a recruiter flagged a gap in your submittals, you changed how you screened for it, and your next candidates moved forward at a noticeably higher rate.
- You keep multiple reqs organized without dropping candidates. When a priority req pulled your focus, you kept every other candidate updated, and they stayed engaged and interested instead of going cold.
WORK LOCATION
This role is open to candidates across Hawaii, with a strong preference for candidates based on O'ahu.
COMPENSATION
This is an independent contractor (1099) role paid $35–$50 per hour, commensurate with experience. As a 1099 contractor, you'll invoice for hours worked, are responsible for your own taxes, and are not eligible for employee benefits.
