Candidate Screening Assistant (Remote)

About the role

This is a fully remote Candidate Screening Assistant position based in Pakistan, working from home by phone. You start each candidate's application with a friendly call to understand their interest and basic fit, then follow approved questions, record answers and arrange an interview when the candidate meets the recruiter's screening rules. A recruiting team lead teaches the call process and supports you with unfamiliar questions.

Key responsibilities

• Review approved screening questions before opening your assigned list in an applicant tracking system such as Lever.
• Call applicants through a business phone system or dialer such as JustCall, introduce yourself and ask about interest, availability, a quiet workspace and spoken English.
• Compare answers with the recruiter's simple rules and mark candidates as ready, not yet ready or not a fit.
• Explain the next step in plain language and pass unfamiliar questions to the team lead.
• Book ready candidates through a scheduling tool such as Calendly, confirm the date, time and joining instructions, and send a reminder before the interview.
• Call candidates who miss their interview and help arrange another time when needed.
• Update each applicant tracking entry with answers, call result and next step, and keep entries tidy and private.

Required profile

• Professional spoken and written English, as calls are mostly with candidates and teams in the United States.
• A computer, a mobile phone, a stable internet connection and reliable electricity.
• No recruiting experience required; phone support, customer service, scheduling or administrative experience is preferred.
• A calm, friendly phone voice and patience, willingness to learn the named tools through guided practice, and respect for candidate privacy.

Required skills

• Basic understanding of candidate screening: asking approved questions, recording answers and following recruiter instructions.
• Ability to listen without interrupting and write short notes that another team member can understand.
• Accuracy when entering answers, checking dates and matching interview details with the right candidate.

What we offer

• Monthly pay of PKR 62,810 to 148,880, plus bonus opportunities.
• Structured onboarding and guided training on Lever, JustCall and Calendly, with regular check-ins with the team lead.
• Growth opportunities within the team as you develop screening, scheduling and candidate support skills.
