Freelance recruiter · commission only

European roles, your afternoon hours. No night shift. If you recruit for foreign clients from the Philippines, this is the same game, paid per placement in euros.

Read all of this before you apply. It's long on purpose. If this isn't you, that's completely fine, and it saves us both time.

Who we are

BC Recruitment fills multilingual customer service, sales and support roles for the world's largest customer-service companies, in Athens, Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Sofia and other European cities. Right now we have around 60 open roles across many languages: Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Turkish, the Nordic languages and more. Now and then we also have senior roles that pay more.

You don't need to speak the candidates' language. Every role requires English, and English is what we work in. What matters is knowing where to find people and how to convince them.

Who we're looking for

People who are hungry, driven and excited about this opportunity, and who know they will earn more on commission than with what they're doing now.

We don't care how many years you've been recruiting. Someone with 6 months of hunger can beat someone with 10 years of experience. We care about what you have personally delivered: how many placements, for what kind of roles, and how many a month.

You'll probably fit if:

• You have real numbers: placements or sales you made yourself, and you know your monthly average.
• You've done global or international recruitment, ideally for similar companies or the same kind of candidates: customer service, call centres, multilingual roles, relocation, tourism, hospitality.
• You're a natural seller who finds people on your own, without leads or hand-holding.
• You understand that every nationality is found differently. If one channel doesn't work for a market, you know where those people really are and go there.
• You already have your own tools: LinkedIn, laptop, phone, and whatever else you use to recruit.
• You want freedom: your own hours, your own place, your own methods, no boss.

This is NOT for you if

• You need a fixed income soon. There is no salary, retainer or paid trial at the start.
• You need us to pay for tools before you can work. We don't cover anything at the start.
• You want something to try "when you have time".
• You need someone to tell you what to do every day.
• You'll blame others when a client pauses a role or a candidate drops out. That's part of recruitment.
• Most of the people you can reach need a visa. Most of our roles require candidates who can already work in the EU, and we don't offer visa support on most jobs.

What you earn

• Minimum €400 per placement. Most roles pay €400–750, and specialist roles up to €2,400.
• You see the exact payout on every role before you work on it.
• A placement counts once your candidate has started and the employer has paid us. Someone who accepts and then drops out is not a placement.
• Payment usually comes 1–3 months after your candidate starts, depending on the employer. We pay by bank transfer or whatever works for you.
• Money you've earned is always paid. We know many recruiters are afraid of not being paid. Think about it from our side: a recruiter who delivers is worth far more to us over time than any single placement. This whole system is built on trust, and we'd lose by breaking it.

If you deliver, we deliver back

Nothing is given up front. Everything grows with your results:

• Once you deliver, we cover tool costs such as monthly subscriptions.
• Proven recruiters can get earlier payouts, arranged with you.
• Consistent performers can earn a monthly base on top of commission.
• Top people can go on to build and lead their own team.

The rules bend toward the people who prove themselves. This job gets better the more you deliver.

What you get from day one

• Proper onboarding: we explain everything, the employers, the roles and how we work, and answer all your questions before you start, so you begin with confidence.
• Full role details and answers to the questions candidates usually ask.
• Fast replies: we answer submissions within 24 hours on weekdays, usually faster. Not at weekends, because the employers don't work then either.
• Total freedom over how, when and where you work.

What's realistic

• The first weeks are about building your pipeline.
• Once you're up and running, a below-average recruiter makes about 1 placement a month, a good recruiter 2–5, and our best recruiters 5–10. It gets easier over time: you build a pool of candidates to come back to, and people start recommending you.
• We expect at least one placement a month once you're up and running.
