Overview
Do you love talking to people all day? Do you get a little thrill when the right person says yes? Have you spent 3+ years finding great marketers on LinkedIn, then getting them on the phone?
If so, we'd love to meet you. We're looking for a high-energy marketing recruiter to help us find and hire the marketers who'll grow our agency.
You'll be the first voice most candidates hear from ProperExpression. We want that voice to be warm, sharp, and glad to be there.
The Basics
This role is for a people person first. You'll spend most of your day talking: on calls with candidates, in messages on LinkedIn, and with our hiring team about who's great and why.
It's also a craft role. You'll run 3 or more open roles at once: finding people who aren't applying, writing outreach they want to answer, running screening calls that tell good from great, and keeping every candidate in the loop from first hello to offer.
You're a marketing recruiter, and it's what you do today. We hire paid media strategists, designers, project managers, RevOps specialists, and more, and you already know what great looks like in those roles. You've hired marketers in the US, and you know what they expect.
Our team spans several continents, and most of our clients are US based. We require C1/C2 English fluency and at least 6 hours a day of overlap with US East Coast business hours.
About Us
ProperExpression is a boutique growth marketing agency specializing in wealth management. For 7 years, we've been the behind-the-scenes growth engine for some of the most innovative firms in the space.
We're a HubSpot Platinum Partner, recognized by Excellence.com and Clutch. We're growing fast, and every hire matters.
We also laugh a lot, don't take ourselves too seriously, and look for any excuse to eat good food. Sharing food experiences has become an internal culture with a life of its own.
Why ProperExpression?
Real impact: the people you find will build our next chapter.
Real growth: we're expanding fast, and strong performers rise quickly.
A culture that works: fast-paced, collaborative, supportive, and built for people who love winning together.
Fully remote: work from Canada, Latin America, or Ukraine, with at least 6 hours of overlap with US East Coast time.
Requirements
The Fundamentals:
High energy. You genuinely love talking to people, and it shows on the 8th call of the day.
Great judgment. You enjoy leading meetings and know when to pause, set boundaries, or take a different approach.
A great listener. You ask the follow-up question, and you notice what people don't say.
Organized. You know where every candidate stands, and nobody goes dark on your watch.
Honest. You tell candidates the truth about the role, even when it's a no.
Driven, self-starting, and always looking to get better.
Direct Experience (The Must-Haves):
3+ years of full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, screening, scheduling, and offers.
You're a marketing recruiter. Most of your recent hires have been marketers.
You've hired marketers based in the US.
You use LinkedIn Recruiter (Lite, Pro, or Corporate).
You source candidates and run candidate calls yourself, every day.
You've run hiring for 3 or more open roles at once.
You've worked in an applicant tracking system and kept it up to date.
C1/C2 English, written and spoken.
Direct Experience (Preferred but Not Required):
Upwork sourcing. We use it every week, so this puts you ahead.
You've worked at a marketing agency.
AI-curious. Experience with AI tools is a plus. If you're new to them, show us how quickly you learn and adapt.
Breezy HR or ClickUp. These are the tools we run hiring in.
You're Probably a Fit If
You leave a great call with more energy than you started with.
You bring fresh ideas, spot ways to make a process better, and love letting the data show you what's working.
You've found a great marketer on LinkedIn that nobody else spotted.
You've told a candidate "this isn't the right fit" and they thanked you for it.
You're Probably Not a Fit If
You'd rather send emails than pick up the phone.
Your recruiting has been mostly posting jobs and waiting.
Marketing is one of many areas you've hired for, or you last hired a marketer years ago.
