Hiring and Recruitment Specialist

About the role

Hiring is the biggest unlock for NORY's next phase of growth, and we need a Recruitment Specialist to own it with us. The best candidates for NORY are not browsing job boards. They are already employed, already loved by their teams, and only move when the right person reaches out with the right pitch. Your job is to find those people, get them interested, and shepherd them through a clean, fast, respectful process. This is a part-time, fully remote contractor role. You will partner with hiring managers across NORY (Operations, Customer Happiness, Curriculum, Marketing, and Camp Delivery) to fill priority openings.

Responsibilities

• Source passive candidates: identify people who are not actively looking, write tailored outreach, and convert them into applicants.
• Manage inbound applications across LinkedIn, Indeed, and our ATS (Ashby), keeping every candidate moving forward or out within 48 hours.
• Run first-round screens (phone or video) using NORY's structured interview rubric.
• Track recruiting metrics weekly: applicants by source, time-to-screen, screen-to-offer, and pass-through rates by stage.
• Coordinate scheduling between candidates and hiring managers.
• Maintain a "warm bench" of strong candidates for future openings.

Requirements

• 3+ years of recruiting experience, in-house or agency, with a track record of sourcing passive candidates (not just processing inbound).
• You can write outreach that gets replies, and you can show us real examples.
• Familiar with at least one modern ATS (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever) and confident on LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Organized to the point that nothing falls through the cracks. You run on systems, not memory.
• Honest about candidate quality. You would rather tell us "no one this week" than push a weak candidate forward.
• HOW WE OPERATE
• NORY operates by a set of Ways of Being that guide how we hire, teach, and treat each other. We move with urgency and care, we tell the truth quickly, and we hold a high bar for both rigor and warmth. You can read the full set at www.nory.co/value . If those values resonate, you will thrive here.
• COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE
• $27 to $37 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated sourcing track record.
• 10 to 20 hours per week, fully remote.
• Flexible schedule with two non-negotiable weekly touchpoints: a Monday planning sync and a Friday metrics review.
• Contractor (1099) engagement, with a clear path to expanded scope as NORY grows.
• HOW TO APPLY
• Apply through this posting and complete the application questions on Ashby. We read every response carefully, so make them count.
• EEO STATEMENT
