About the role

Verdacert provides USCIS-certified translations of documents such as birth certificates, marriage records, academic transcripts, and court filings, primarily in Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Urdu, and Turkish, with a strong focus on the MENA region and immigration use cases. We're looking for a Vendor / Linguist Recruiter to build and manage the pipeline of native-speaker translators and reviewers who make this work possible - sourcing, vetting, and onboarding linguists across our core languages and beyond.

Vet candidates for language proficiency, subject-matter expertise, and familiarity with regional document conventions and formats
Manage the end-to-end vendor onboarding process, including credential verification, test translations, and contract setup
Maintain and grow a pipeline of vetted linguists to meet demand across standard, express, rush, and same-day turnaround tiers
Track linguist performance, quality, and reliability, and manage offboarding or escalation when standards aren't met
Build relationships with linguist communities, professional associations, and referral networks to support ongoing recruiting needs

What we're looking for

Experience recruiting or managing a network of freelance linguists, translators, or interpreters, ideally in a language services or localization environment
Strong understanding of translation quality standards and vendor management practices
Ability to evaluate language proficiency and credentials across multiple languages, including languages you don't personally speak, using structured assessment methods
Excellent organizational skills and comfort managing a high volume of candidates and vendor relationships simultaneously
Clear written and verbal communication skills
Comfort working with fast-moving deadlines given the company's rapid turnaround commitments

Nice to have

Familiarity with MENA-region languages, dialects, or document types (civil registries, academic records, court documents)
Experience recruiting linguists for immigration, legal, or certified translation work
Prior use of vendor management or applicant tracking systems for contractor networks
