About Magic
For over 10 years, Magic has connected top remote talent with fast-growing businesses — backed by Y Combinator and Sequoia Capital, with thousands of remote workers worldwide.
Role Overview
This role runs on two tracks — Matcher and Qualifier — and both exist because a bad match costs Magic a client.
Matcher: You're the final quality checkpoint before a candidate ever meets a client. Every client Magic serves depends on being matched with the right assistant, and that only happens because someone made a smart, well-informed call on readiness. That's you. Get it right, and clients stay.
Qualifier: You're the first quality gate — the one deciding, at volume and without cutting corners, whether a candidate is even ready to be considered. Your accuracy under volume determines whether the Matchers downstream are working with a genuinely vetted pool or a noisy one.
Shift: full availability required, Monday–Friday or Tuesday–Saturday, assigned by business need — night, evening, or day. Expect to feel overwhelmed in Month 1; that's normal. What separates people who make it is learning fast, resetting quickly, and asking good questions.
Key Responsibilities
Matcher
- Search Magic's existing candidate pool and keep a backup list ready
- Interview candidates — schedule and run final interviews, make the readiness call
- Coordinate with Sales, Support, and Customer Success
- Write client-ready evaluation reports
- Hit daily and monthly targets without sacrificing accuracy
Qualifier
- Screen candidates at volume against defined criteria — benchmark ~16/shift
- Verify technical setup and reliability before candidates advance
- Flag borderline calls instead of guessing
- Hand off complete, accurate context to Matchers
- Hold the line on process and documentation, even as volume climbs
Qualifications & Technical Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (any field) or equivalent work experience
- Excellent English — speaking, writing, structured communication
- Strong attention to detail — your output directly shapes downstream hiring decisions
- Full availability for assigned shifts, with advance notice for changes
- Reliable home office: computer, headset, video conferencing setup, quiet environment, 25+ Mbps internet with backup
- A track record of finishing what you start
- Matcher: prior candidate-facing interviewing or recruitment experience preferred
- Qualifier: prior high-volume screening, compliance review, or structured intake experience preferred
Why You'll Be a Great Fit
You bring the same energy to interview #16 that you brought to #1. You reset fast after a hard call or a mistake instead of carrying it into the next one. You take pride in precision over speed, and you flag the genuinely borderline case instead of guessing either direction.
This isn't the role if you need a fixed, self-selected schedule, if you run low on energy across back-to-back conversations, if days pass before you bounce back from a tough call, or if you're currently freelancing as a VA/EA and plan to keep those clients — exclusivity here is non-negotiable.
Application Process
Application + Pre-Qualifying Questions → Pre-Screen Typeform (~5–6 min) → AI-Assisted Resume & Typeform Review (every recommendation human-reviewed — nothing auto-declined) → Initial Interview with the Recruiting Team → 24-Hour Reflection Period → Hiring Manager Interview (practice assessment or screening exercise + career goals) → Final Interview with the Head of People Product → Background Check → Job Offer → 2-Week Training Program
What's In It For You
Compensation & Benefits
$3.20/hour (approx. ₱26,000–29,000/month, paid through Deel) for both tracks, 6-month evaluation period with a path to full-time conversion. Growth path from Associate → Recruitment Specialist → Senior Specialist → Recruitment Lead/Assistant Manager → Recruitment Manager, both tracks converging from Specialist level.
