Candidate Interviewer (Remote Phone Screening)

About the role

This is a fully remote position where you follow each candidate through a short phone interview, take scored notes and set the agreed next step. Candidates enter lists shared by recruiters, and you hold structured conversations while a recruiting team lead explains the interview guide and supports questions that need more help. The role pays a monthly base salary plus bonus opportunities.

Key responsibilities

• Review incoming candidate lists in an applicant tracking system such as Lever and plan which candidates to call first.
• Call applicants using a business phone system or dialer such as Aircall, introduce yourself and explain the purpose of the conversation.
• Hold short, structured phone interviews using approved questions about interest, availability, workspace and spoken English.
• Record scored notes against the recruiter's basic fit guide and mark each candidate's next stage according to those rules.
• Explain the next step simply, answer questions with approved information and pass unfamiliar ones to the team lead.
• Arrange the next interview using a scheduling tool such as Calendly, confirm the date, time and contact method, and send a reminder before the interview.
• Call candidates who miss their interview and help arrange another time; save call results and share completed notes with the recruiter.
• Keep candidate details tidy and private, marking wrong numbers, duplicates and withdrawals.

Required profile

• Professional spoken and written English, as calls are generally 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 interviewing, customer service, scheduling or administrative experience is preferred.
• A calm, friendly phone voice and the ability to explain one question at a time without rushing candidates.
• Willingness to learn the named application, calling and calendar tools through guided practice and feedback.
• Ability to follow a structured interview guide and score answers using the recruiter's stated criteria.
• Care when entering answers and dates, and respect for candidate privacy.
