Candidate Screening Assistant (Remote)

About the role

This is a fully remote, home-based role supporting candidates and a recruiting team by phone. You start with each applicant and run a short screening call, asking basic fit questions, noting the answers and helping the candidate understand the next step. Lists of candidates and approved question guides give you a clear starting point, and a recruiting team lead guides your work. The pay is a monthly base salary of NGN 302,220 to 687,310 plus bonus opportunities.

• Ask approved questions about interest, availability, a quiet workspace and spoken English, listen carefully and write clear answers.

• Mark candidates as ready, not now or not a fit according to the recruiter's rules, recording the reason for each result.
• Book ready candidates with recruiters using a scheduling tool such as Google Calendar, confirm the date and time, and send a short reminder before each interview.
• Call candidates who miss their interviews and help arrange another booking when appropriate.
• Record call results and next steps, keep candidate details private and flag wrong numbers, duplicates and withdrawals.
• Share complete screening notes with the recruiter before the interview and flag missing answers.
