Senior Recruiter (Executive Assistants) - Remote

About the role

Magic connects US founders, executives and teams with highly capable remote assistants. It is building a pipeline of top Executive Assistants in Kenya and needs an experienced recruiter on the ground to own it. You will be measured on how well your hires perform and stay with clients, not on how many people you push through. The position is full-time, remote and based in Kenya.

Key responsibilities

• Sourcing beyond job boards: use tech ecosystems, multinational and consulting offices, professional networks and referrals to find high-caliber EA talent.
• Screening: look past polished CVs and verify experience, tools and outcomes; run practical, timed work simulations such as conflicting calendars, inbox triage and travel requests.
• Assess communication: evaluate spoken and written English for clarity, pacing and comprehension, including recorded video screens and live roleplay.
• Track performance of placed EAs at 30, 60 and 90 days and use the results to improve sourcing and screening.
• Share candid feedback and graded scorecards with the hiring team for each advanced candidate.

Required profile

• 2+ years of recruiting experience hiring Kenyan talent for US remote roles.
• A strong track record of separating candidates who interview well from those who perform.
• Belief that structured skills tests and work samples beat unstructured conversations.
• Clear understanding of the speed, rigor and precision expected by US executives and startups.
• Excellent written and spoken English and a direct, constructive communication style.
• Reliable internet, a quiet workspace and availability overlapping US business hours, with no competing commitments.

How to apply

Submit your CV and a short 2-3 minute video answering: what two CV signals most often indicate overstated experience and how you verify them, and what practical exercise you would use to test an Executive Assistant's attention to detail and how you would grade it.
