Job Description

What if every connection you made helped someone be heard, understood, and supported? At SOSi, recruiting isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about making connection possible when it matters most.

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who sees beyond resumes and job descriptions — someone who understands that behind every language is a person, a culture, and a story. Your mission? To find and engage interpreters who help bridge communication gaps.

This role exists for one core reason: to ensure the right voices show up where they’re needed most.

You’ll focus on high-demand languages like Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Russian, while bringing curiosity and creativity to more specialized language needs when they arise.

If you believe great recruiting is equal parts strategy, empathy, and hustle — you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do

Every search you run and every conversation you start is a chance to create impact. You won’t just build pipelines — you’ll build pathways for connection.

Find talent where others aren’t looking

• Creatively source interpreters in high-demand languages (especially Spanish and Portuguese) using social platforms, networks, and communities
• Build and maintain a strong, ready-to-go pipeline for urgent and high-volume needs
• Step into specialized sourcing challenges for rare or indigenous languages when business needs call for it

Turn outreach into relationships

• Engage candidates in a way that makes them feel seen, understood, and valued
• Assess language skills, certifications, and experience through thoughtful screening conversations
• Build trust across diverse communities with authenticity and cultural awareness

Connect with communities

• Develop partnerships with universities, cultural groups, and language programs
• Stay actively connected to Spanish-speaking and other widely represented language communities
• Expand your reach into niche networks when unique language needs arise

Influence hiring through insight

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand what’s urgent, what’s hard, and what matters most
• Bring real-time insight into talent availability, market trends, and sourcing strategies

Own the experience

• Manage the recruiting lifecycle process while ensuring compliance with all policies and requirements
• Keep processes smooth, organized, and candidate-focused

Represent something meaningful

• Help position SOSi as a place where interpreters can grow, contribute, and do meaningful work
• Tell a story that resonates with candidates who want more than just a job

Measure and improve

• Track pipeline health, sourcing effectiveness, and hiring progress
• Continuously refine your approach to deliver better, faster, smarter results

Qualifications

What you bring

• 2 to 4 Years of Experience in recruiting or sourcing — ideally within language services or high-volume environments
• Proven ability to find and engage talent in commonly spoken languages (Spanish strongly preferred)
• Comfort working across diverse communities and cultural contexts
• A Bachelor’s Degree; however, relevant language experience can be substituted in lieu of.
• Strong communication skills and a relationship-driven mindset
• Creativity, persistence, and the ability to solve sourcing challenges
• Familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ATS platforms, Boolean search, and social media sourcing
• Sound judgment and the ability to adapt in a fast-moving environment

Bonus points if you have

• Experience supporting high-volume or fast-paced hiring needs
• Exposure to sourcing for rare, indigenous, or specialized languages is a big plus.
• Fluency in another language — especially Spanish, Hindi, or French
