Doing this job remotely

Recruiting is done almost entirely by phone, video and applicant tracking software, so it moved to remote easily. The day is heavy on scheduled calls, and candidates in other time zones often want to talk outside their working hours. Agency and contract recruiters work to placement targets, which makes the workload uneven.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Recruiters often start as sourcers or recruiting coordinators, or come over from sales and agency staffing. They progress to senior recruiter, recruiting manager and head of talent acquisition, or move into HR business partner roles.
