Support a founder across recruitment, sourcing, and more

Kairos Recruitment is an Australian Recruitment company helping startups across Australia scale with great people. I’m looking for a Recruitment VA based in the Philippines to support candidate sourcing, screening, and day-to-day recruitment tasks - with room to grow into a broader virtual support role across multiple founder-led ventures.

You’ll start by helping me screen candidates, chase references, and headhunt candidates - with the view to loop you into other projects too (client outreach, research, light ops). I’m looking for someone who can become a long-term extension of me.

What you'll be doing:

• Screen candidates: Review CVs, shortlist, and coordinate early-stage screening

• Reference checks: Follow up with referees and summarise insights clearly

• Source candidates: Use LinkedIn and other tools to find and reach out to ideal candidates

• General admin & outreach: Scheduling, CRM updates, and helping with light client research or outreach when needed

What I'm looking for:

• Experience in recruitment or talent acquisition (agency or in-house)

• Solid sourcing skills – Boolean search, LinkedIn filters, and strong research instincts

• Highly organised, reliable, and responsive – you’ll be working directly with me

• Strong written English and attention to detail

• Bonus: You love tools like ChatGPT, Zapier, Notion, Airtable or other automations that make life easier

The details:

• ~10 hours/week to start (with potential to scale up)

• Fully remote, but must have overlap with AEST timezone

• Flexibility to support across multiple businesses as trust grows

How to apply:

Hit apply and you’ll be prompted to send us a short 2–3 minute video covering:

• Why this role excites you

• What makes you a great fit

• What’s one thing you’d implement to create a standout candidate experience that attracts top talent – bonus points if it involves AI or automation

Don’t overthink it - we’re not looking for polish, just curiosity, initiative and energy. Show us how you think, not just what’s on your CV.
