  • We're expanding our recruiting operations and looking for a motivated, dependable, and energetic Remote Phone Booker / Appointment Scheduler to help connect interested applicants with our hiring team.
  • This is not random cold calling .
  • You'll primarily contact warm candidates who have already applied, responded to a recruiting advertisement, or expressed interest in learning more about our career opportunities .
  • Your role is simple but important:

    • Connect → Confirm Interest → Schedule → Remind → Follow Up → Help Candidates Show Up You'll help create a positive first impression while keeping our interview calendar and recruiting pipeline moving.
    • No previous recruiting or appointment-setting experience is required.

    Your goal is to provide a friendly, professional, efficient, and organized candidate experience while helping qualified applicants move through the interview process. 📲 Candidate Outreach & Appointment Setting Your daily responsibilities may include:

    • Make outbound calls to candidates who have already applied or expressed interest Introduce yourself professionally and create a positive first impression Confirm the candidate's continued interest Provide basic information regarding the next step in the hiring process Schedule candidates for available career overviews and interviews Help applicants select available appointment times Send or confirm applicable scheduling information Verify upcoming appointments Follow up with candidates before scheduled interviews Contact applicants who missed previous appointments Help interested candidates reschedule Answer basic questions regarding scheduling and interview logistics Direct detailed position-specific questions to the appropriate recruiter or hiring manager Your goal is to turn applicant interest into completed appointments. 📅 Keep the Recruiting Calendar Moving Appointment setting isn't simply putting someone's name on a calendar.

    Strong Phone Bookers help ensure candidates understand:

    • What they scheduled When their appointment begins How to attend What they should expect What their next step is You'll help maintain an organized appointment pipeline by: Monitoring upcoming appointments Confirming scheduled candidates Following up when appropriate Rescheduling missed appointments Identifying candidates who still need to schedule Keeping candidate statuses current Communicating important scheduling information to the recruiting team Organization and consistent follow-up are a major part of success in this position. 🔥 Warm Candidate Leads – No Random Cold Calling One of the biggest differences between this role and traditional telemarketing is who you're contacting .

    You'll primarily speak with people who have already taken an action indicating interest, such as:

    • Submitting a job application Responding to a recruiting advertisement Requesting information Beginning the interview process Scheduling previously but needing to reschedule Completing an earlier recruiting step That gives your conversation a purpose from the beginning.

    You're following up with interested applicants—not searching the internet for random people to call. 🎯 Your Mission:

    • Get Candidates to the Next Step A successful call doesn't need to be complicated.

    Your focus is to:

    • Connect with the applicant ↓ Confirm they're still interested ↓ Explain the next scheduling step ↓ Book the appointment ↓ Confirm the details ↓ Follow up when needed ↓ Help improve appointment attendance If you're someone who enjoys having a clear objective and measurable results , this may be an excellent fit. 🗂️ Candidate Follow-Up & Recruiting Support You'll also help maintain accurate candidate information and organized follow-up.

    • Even Better.
    • This position is ideal for someone who enjoys frequent phone communication .

    Depending on recruiting volume, you'll need to be comfortable:

    • Making multiple outbound calls throughout your work period Moving efficiently from one conversation to the next Leaving professional voicemails Following up consistently Speaking with many different personalities Handling unanswered calls without becoming discouraged Staying positive when candidates decline Maintaining energy throughout repetitive outreach Working toward daily activity and appointment goals Consistency is more important than having the “perfect” phone call. 🗣️ You Don't Need to Sound Like a Salesperson We're looking for someone who sounds: Friendly Confident Natural Professional Helpful Clear Positive Organized The best conversations often feel simple: “Hi, I'm following up regarding the application you recently submitted.
    • I wanted to see if you're still interested and help you schedule the next step.” From there, your job is to listen, answer basic scheduling questions, and help the candidate move forward. 💻 100% Remote / Work From Home This position is performed remotely.
    • You'll communicate with candidates and collaborate with the recruiting team using online systems and virtual technology.

    Systems may include:

    • Online scheduling platforms Calendly Zoom Email Phone Text messaging Online calendars Applicant tracking systems Recruiting platforms Candidate-management tools Digital communication systems Training is provided on our processes and applicable systems.

    • Reliable computer or laptop Reliable high-speed internet Working microphone or professional headset Reliable phone capability Quiet environment for candidate calls Professional communication skills Ability to access online scheduling and recruiting systems Your workspace doesn't need to be elaborate, but it should allow you to make calls without excessive noise or interruptions . ⏰ Flexible Scheduling + Consistency Working remotely can provide flexibility, but appointment setting depends heavily on availability and consistent follow-up .
    • You'll need to organize your work time around periods when applicants can reasonably be reached.

    Successful Phone Bookers are able to balance:

    • Flexibility + Structure + Follow-Up + Accountability This role may be a strong fit if you enjoy working independently but still prefer: Clear expectations Daily objectives Measurable results Organized follow-up A team to support Opportunities to improve your performance 📊 Performance & Measurable Results This is a results-oriented recruiting support position.

    Depending on team needs, performance may be evaluated through metrics such as:

    • Outbound call activity Candidate contacts Conversations completed Appointments scheduled Appointment confirmations Reschedules Candidate follow-up Appointment attendance Accuracy of candidate records Consistency and reliability Your activity directly impacts how many interested candidates successfully connect with the hiring team. 📚 No Appointment-Setting Experience?
    • We'll Train You.
    • Previous recruiting, call-center, or appointment-setting experience can be helpful—but it is not required .

    Training may include:

    • Phone scripts Conversation flow Applicant outreach procedures Appointment-setting techniques Professional phone communication Scheduling systems Candidate follow-up Appointment confirmations Missed-interview follow-up Rescheduling procedures Recruiting-system navigation Candidate documentation Call tracking Note-taking standards Time management Productivity strategies Handling common candidate questions We'll provide the process and guidance.

    • Returning to the workforce Transitioning from retail or hospitality Moving from an office environment to remote work Looking to develop recruiting experience Interested in talent acquisition Experienced in customer service Comfortable with phone-based work Looking for an entry point into recruiting operations The communication and organizational skills you've developed in another industry may transfer better than you think. 📈 Build Recruiting Experience & Grow Strong performers who are interested in expanding their responsibilities may have opportunities to develop into additional recruiting functions.

    • Phone Booker → Candidate Coordinator → Recruiting Support → Recruiter → Recruiting Team Leadership As responsibilities expand, development opportunities may include: Candidate pipeline management Interview coordination Recruiting systems Candidate communication Applicant screening support Recruiting operations Team training New-booker mentorship Recruiting analytics Leadership Growth opportunities depend on performance, reliability, consistency, professional development, business needs, and available positions. 🌟 Why This Role Matters Every recruiting process begins with communication.

    A candidate may be interested in an opportunity but never take the next step simply because:

    • They forgot to schedule They missed an email They weren't sure what to do next Their original appointment no longer works They have a simple question They need someone to follow up That's where you come in.

    Your communication helps:

    • Connect interested applicants with opportunities Improve candidate engagement Increase completed appointments Reduce missed interviews Improve candidate follow-up Keep recruiting pipelines organized Support recruiters and hiring managers Create a better applicant experience Every appointment you book helps move someone one step closer to a potential new career.
