Paradigm Information Services is seeking a Talent Acquisition Associate to join our recruiting team and help us identify great candidates for a wide variety of positions.
This is a position with flexible hours. We are open to candidates interested in either part-time or full-time hours and can provide flexibility in establishing a regular work schedule.
We are looking for someone who enjoys the detective work of recruiting: researching the market, finding people others may overlook, and figuring out the best way to reach them. You’ll work closely with our recruiters to understand what makes a candidate a strong fit and use tools such as Indeed, LinkedIn Recruiter, our Applicant Tracking System, and other resources to find and engage prospective candidates.
Just as importantly, this is an opportunity to grow with Paradigm and help Paradigm grow. We are a small, established staffing company where individual contributions matter. For someone who demonstrates initiative and ability, this position can expand beyond sourcing into recruiting and other responsibilities as our company grows.
Pay: $20-$25/hour
Location: Remote, PST preferred
Type: Contract-to-permanent; flexible part-time or full-time hours

About Us, Paradigm
Paradigm Information Services is an established staffing company that has been connecting talented people with great opportunities for more than 25 years. We work with clients across a variety of industries and positions, giving our recruiting team the opportunity to work on interesting and sometimes challenging searches.
We are also a relatively small company, and we think that creates an opportunity that can be difficult to find in a larger organization. Good ideas get heard, individual contributions are visible, and people who demonstrate ability and initiative can take on greater responsibility.
We are looking for someone who wants to do more than fill a narrowly defined position. We want someone who will become part of our team, help us improve the way we recruit, and grow professionally while helping Paradigm grow.
Salary: $20 - $25
