Human Resources (HR) · Guatemala City · Fully Remote


ROLE SUMMARY

 

ABOUT THE COMPANY

METEOR is a talent solution provider focused on helping businesses in the United States and Canada find the best virtual assistant talent in Latin America. By using a world-class recruiting system and a complete employer-of-record service, METEOR offers businesses a cost-effective alternative to hiring locally, without compromising on the quality of hired employees. Additionally, we remove administrative and legal complexities for the businesses we work with. Our mission is simple: connect great people with great companies.

 

ABOUT THE ROLE

As METEOR continues to grow, we are looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to support full-cycle recruitment for our clients. This is one of the most important roles in the company. The person in this seat is responsible for finding the best VA talent in the country, and that directly drives whether clients stay with us, expand with us, and refer us to their friends.

We are looking for someone who brings deep experience as a Virtual or Executive Assistant, or as a recruitment professional. That background is essential for assessing and selecting top candidates for remote assistant roles.

What’s in it for you?

  • Join a fast-growing company that has doubled in size every year.

  • Gain hands-on experience with a world-class recruiting system.

  • Grow your expertise in talent acquisition and recruitment strategy.

  • Regular exposure to international clients.

  • Earn performance-based commissions on successful hires.


This position is perfect for someone who:


✅ Has worked as a high-performing Virtual or Executive Assistant, Recruitment or Similar roles

✅ Enjoys evaluating people and helping determine who’s right for specific roles

✅ Wants to pivot into talent acquisition while leveraging their assistant background

✅ Likes working in structured environments with clear processes

✅ Has an interest in helping others improve and grow in assistant roles

✅ Takes ownership and responsibility in everything they do

✅ Is comfortable working in a high-volume environment with lots of moving pieces



METEOR CORE VALUES

At METEOR, we value technical skills as much as cultural fit. That’s why it’s important for anyone joining our team to embody our Core Values:

  • Commitment to Excellence – If your name is on it, make sure it’s done right. No shortcuts, no half-measures.

  • Extreme Ownership – Your results are your responsibility. If something goes wrong, take charge of fixing it.

  • Maintain a Growth Mindset – There’s no such thing as "I can't"—only "I haven’t learned how yet."

  • Strive for Simplicity – Complexity kills efficiency. Focus on what matters, cut the rest.

  • Discipline Over Motivation – Motivation comes and goes. Discipline keeps you moving forward.

  • Consistency Over Intensity – A little progress every day beats bursts of effort followed by burnout.

  • Resourcefulness Over Resources – You don’t need more; you need to make the most of what’s already there.

  • Collaborate with the marketing team on ad copy and sourcing strategies

  • Ensure job posts are clear, consistent, and correctly distributed


Candidate Sourcing & Screening

Sourcing brings candidates in, and screening filters for the ones worth a closer look. Strong judgment at this stage protects every step that follows.

  • Maintain proactive communication with candidates at every stage

  • Respond to candidate inquiries promptly and professionally

  • Deliver timely rejections with clarity and care

  • Share regular updates with clients on campaign status

  • Coordinate interview schedules between candidates, METEOR, and clients

  • Manage our various recruiting tools, systems, and databases throughout the process


Talent Pool Management

Some clients expect a full campaign, but most want to hire faster. The Talent Pool exists to meet that need, cutting time-to-hire from 3 weeks to 5 days or less when it is well-maintained.

  • Maintain a healthy and available talent pool ready for incoming clients

  • Ensure diversity of skillsets and profiles across the pool

  • Keep candidate data accurate and up to date

  • Maintain a strong tagging system for fast filtering and retrieval

  • Onboard new talent pool candidates quickly and consistently

  • Generate candidate summary reports based on specific client criteria

  • Identify ways to make it easier to add, retrieve, and present candidates


Talent Acquisition Strategy & Process Improvement

Hiring is never a finished product. We are looking for someone who is always sharpening the process, with AI and better systems as their default tools.

  • Use AI to automate repetitive tasks and make human tasks easier to do well

  • Track and report on recruitment metrics and performance

  • Suggest improvements to workflows and candidate experience

  • Contribute to SOP documentation and best practices

  • Research new tools or strategies to improve hiring results
