About RemoteLegalStaff

RemoteLegalStaff is a fast-scaling, founder-led company helping U.S. law firms grow with exceptional offshore legal talent. Our external staff power our clients’ success — and behind them is a tightly run internal operation that demands precision, judgment, and speed.

We’re lean, global, and obsessed with quality. We move fast, hold a high bar, and trust strong operators to own their lane fully. This isn’t a corporate environment. It’s a place for people who take responsibility seriously and enjoy building something that scales.

The Role

We’re hiring a Recruiting Manager to own and lead our external recruiting function.

This role is not about recruiting internal RLS employees. Instead, you will manage, guide, and hold accountable our external recruiting team responsible for sourcing and placing offshore legal talent for U.S. law firm clients.

You are accountable for recruiting quality, speed, and consistency. That means setting standards, improving systems, coaching recruiters, spotting issues early, and ensuring every candidate presented meets the RLS bar.

If recruiting quality drops, you catch it.

If pipelines slow, you unblock it.

If standards drift, you reset them.

What You’ll Do

Lead and manage the external recruiting team responsible for client placements
Own recruiting quality, consistency, and speed across all active roles
Set and enforce clear candidate evaluation standards
Review shortlists, interview feedback, and hiring recommendations
Coach recruiters on sourcing strategy, screening judgment, and communication
Identify performance gaps and take corrective action quickly
Partner closely with Operations and Client Success to align on role expectations
Improve recruiting systems, workflows, scorecards, and documentation
Maintain visibility across multiple live pipelines without losing control

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

Have strong recruiting instincts and trust your judgment
Care deeply about candidate quality, not just filling roles
Are comfortable managing recruiters and holding them to a high bar
Move with urgency and push processes forward without being asked
Communicate clearly, directly, and with context
Think in systems, patterns, and root causes
Take ownership when things aren’t working instead of making excuses
Enjoy building structure in fast-moving environments

This Isn’t for You If…

You prefer executing tasks instead of leading people
You avoid difficult feedback or accountability conversations
You rely heavily on templates without understanding context
You struggle to say no to weak candidates
You need constant direction or reminders to follow up
You move slowly or avoid decisions
