About Talent Advantage

Talent Advantage is a Toronto-based recruitment and staffing firm helping companies identify and hire exceptional professionals across a wide range of industries, including Information Technology, Accounting & Finance, Engineering, Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Legal and Executive Leadership.

We take a professional, relationship-driven approach to recruitment. Our team works closely with both clients and candidates to understand what makes a successful match—not simply to fill a position.

This is not a traditional administrative VA position.

You will become an important part of our recruitment process and will communicate directly with candidates throughout the hiring process. You will receive comprehensive training on our recruitment methodology, candidate screening process, systems and communication standards.

You do not need extensive recruitment experience. We are much more interested in finding someone who is smart, articulate, professional, eager to learn, and naturally good with people.

You will initially work closely with the Founder/Managing Director and gradually take ownership of specific parts of the recruitment process.

• Conduct brief first-round screening interviews with candidates by phone/video
• Follow structured interview guides and screening criteria
• Build rapport with candidates and create a positive candidate experience
• Ask appropriate follow-up questions and identify relevant information
• Assess basic qualifications, communication skills and overall fit
• Document interview notes and provide clear recommendations
• Coordinate next steps with candidates

• Work closely with the Founder/Managing Director to manage candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Review candidate information and prepare for screening calls
• Coordinate interviews and follow-ups
• Maintain accurate candidate information in our ATS/CRM
• Communicate professionally with candidates throughout the process
• Assist with sourcing and candidate outreach when required

• Join client meetings with the Founder/Managing Director
• Take detailed meeting notes and track follow-up items
• Help prepare candidate information and recruitment materials
• Record short, personalized video introductions to prospective clients
• Assist with professional written communication to clients and candidates
• Take ownership of follow-up tasks and ensure they are completed

• Assist with various recruiting and business-development-related projects
• Help organize information and keep recruitment processes moving efficiently
• Learn and utilize modern recruitment technology, ATS/CRM systems and AI-powered tools
• Take on increasing responsibility as you become more familiar with our business

We are looking for potential, not necessarily years of experience.

The ideal candidate is someone who is:

• An excellent communicator in English—both written and spoken
• Confident speaking with professionals over the phone and video
• Naturally personable, friendly and comfortable building rapport
• Intelligent, curious and quick to learn
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Professional and mature in their communication
• Comfortable following processes while also using good judgment
• Proactive rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Reliable and accountable
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Positive, ambitious and eager to develop professionally
• Comfortable learning new technology and software
• Able to handle confidential candidate and client information professionally

• Excellent spoken and written English
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent educational background
• Reliable internet connection and a professional remote-work environment

• Recruitment or talent acquisition experience
• Interviewing or phone-based experience
• Experience using an ATS/CRM
• Experience working remotely…
