Full-Cycle HR & Recruitment Specialist (Philippines or India)

CFOAF is hiring an experienced Full-Cycle HR & Recruitment Specialist to own recruiting, candidate screening, first interviews, onboarding support, and HR process coordination for our remote tax, accounting, advisory, and operations team.

This is not a passive recruiting or basic HR admin role. We are looking for someone who can fully own the hiring process, manage themselves, think critically, move quickly, follow through consistently, and help us find strong candidates without needing constant direction.

We are hiring for two part-time roles:

● One recruiter based in the Philippines

● One recruiter based in India

This role requires availability from: 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM Arizona time

Please confirm that you are available during this schedule before applying.

The person in this role will manage the recruiting process from job post through first interview and hiring support. You will be responsible for sourcing candidates, screening applicants, conducting first interviews, organizing candidate notes, making recommendations, coordinating next steps, supporting onboarding, and assisting with performance review planning.

We need someone who is organized, resourceful, creative, assertive, analytical, and highly dependable. You should be comfortable evaluating candidate quality, identifying hiring gaps, recommending role or pay adjustments, and suggesting better platforms or sourcing strategies when current methods are not producing the right candidates.

Experience recruiting for a tax, accounting, CPA, bookkeeping, or advisory firm is strongly preferred.

A degree is helpful but not required. We care far more about experience, judgment, follow-through, and results.

● Manage full-cycle recruiting from sourcing through first interview and hiring support

● Source candidates through LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook groups, referrals, job boards, direct outreach, and other creative channels

● Research and recommend new hiring platforms or sourcing methods for the Philippines, India, and remote professional talent

● Experience with international recruiting

● Experience building or improving recruiting processes

● Experience supporting new hire onboarding

● Experience assisting with performance review planning or HR process coordination

● Management experience is preferred but not required

Please note: this role does not currently manage a team. However, we strongly prefer someone with management-level judgment because this person must be able to fully own the recruiting, onboarding, and HR support processes without waiting for constant direction.

Success in this role means:

● Strong candidates are being sourced consistently

● Candidate pipelines are organized, current, and easy for leadership to review

● First interviews are completed thoughtfully and efficiently

● Candidate summaries are clear, useful, and honest

● Follow-up is timely and reliable

● Leadership has clear visibility into recruiting progress

● Candidates are screened thoughtfully, not just passed through

● New hires are onboarded in an organized and professional way

● Performance review planning is supported and kept on track

● The recruiting and HR process moves without constant reminders

● CFOAF is able to find better talent faster

Please do not apply if you need constant direction, reminders, or step-by-step supervision.

This role requires someone who can take ownership, manage their own work, think critically, interview candidates effectively, keep the hiring process moving, and proactively recommend improvements. We need a recruiter who can bring ideas, solve problems, follow through, and help us build a stronger hiring and onboarding system.
