What is Far Out Scout?
Far Out Scout is a contingency recruitment firm for remote roles. We work with companies to source, screen, and refer candidates. We only charge when a client hires someone we introduced.
Instead of waiting for applications, Far Out Scout targets specific candidates who fit the role and the hiring manager's criteria. Many strong candidates are not actively applying, but will consider a better opportunity if the role is clear and the outreach is relevant.
We work directly with the hiring manager to understand the job, the must-have skills, the working hours, and what a strong first month should look like. Feedback matters: the faster we learn what you like or dislike about early candidates, the faster we can tighten the search.
In addition to the job description, sharing the following details will help us find the best fit for your role:
- What is the job name and description? What parts of the job description are most important? What do you look for when evaluating candidates? (E.g. salary, countries, colleges, past companies, specific skills) What type of experience are you looking for? Can you share some profiles of candidates you have hired before?
- What is your company and what do you do? Are there notable investors or awards we can share with candidates? What is your company culture like?
- Can you give us a salary range? Can we share the range with candidates if they ask for it?
- Do you have any geographic or time zone preferences? Can you sponsor visas?
- How urgent is the role and what is your timeline for hiring? Can you commit to giving us regular feedback for the candidates we provide? The more information you give us, the more effective we can be.
- Where do you prefer to communicate for this feedback? Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, or another messaging platform?
- What is your full hiring process (number of steps and process)? Can you share a calendly (or similar) so we can connect you with accepted candidates? What is each interview stage, and what types of questions will you ask?
