Coconut Opportunities
Coconut offers two ways to work with international clients. Both are great options. The right one depends on how you want to work and the level of support you are looking for.
Managed Talent
Long term roles supported by Coconut. You work with 1-2 clients while Coconut manages pay, benefits, and ongoing support. Ideal for professionals who want stability, structure, and community.
Direct Hire
Direct placements with a client. Coconut handles screening and matching, then endorses you to the client. Payment, benefits, and management are handled directly by the client. Ideal for those who prefer a direct working relationship.
Coconut's Direct Hire vs. Traditional Hiring
Coconut’s Direct Hire model gives you the speed, quality, and cost efficiency traditional recruiters can’t match.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Applying for remote roles can feel overwhelming. Here are the answers to the most common questions we get from prospective Coconut talent, so you know exactly what to expect.
What types of roles does Coconut offer?
We support a wide range of roles including executive assistance, operations, marketing, sales support, customer success, finance, tech, and specialized professional roles.
Where do you hire from?
Anywhere. Coconut works with global professionals across multiple countries and regions.
Do you provide training?
Coconut typically works with seasoned virtual professionals. While we do not provide new hire training, our Managed Talents have access to LinkedIn Learning for ongoing upskilling and the Coconut Community for additional resources. Direct Hire talents may receive training directly from their clients, depending on the role.
Do you require time trackers?
Coconut does not require time trackers. While some clients may request one, we use a built in platform where virtual professionals submit productivity reports instead.
What time zone will I be working in?
This depends on the client and the role. Some positions are fully flexible, some require partial overlap, and others follow a specific time zone. This is usually based on where your client is located, such as the US, Europe, or Australia.
How long does it take to get matched with a client?
Timelines vary. Client matching depends on role availability and fit. Some profiles are matched quickly, while others remain in the talent pool until the right opportunity aligns.
Can I apply even if I am currently employed or have an existing client?
Yes. As long as there is no conflict of interest and you are able to manage your time and commitments effectively, you are welcome to apply.
Can I apply to multiple openings?
Yes, but it is best to customize your application for each role. This helps highlight the specific skills and experience the client is looking for.
Can I resubmit my application to the talent pool?
There is no need to resubmit unless you have significant updates such as new skills, additional experience, or a revised profile.
Do I need to use a specific template for my resume or CV?
Yes. Submitting your resume or CV using a different template may delay your application, as you may be asked to resubmit.

Do I need to create a video introduction?
Yes. A video introduction helps clients get to know you beyond your resume.

Can I adjust my hire from full-time to part-time later?
Yes, as long as both parties agree. Since you manage the hire directly, you can adjust hours, pay, and terms as needed.
I have submitted an application but have not heard back. What should I do?
After submitting your application, you will receive automated emails with next steps as you move through the initial screening stages. Please make sure to read and follow all instructions carefully. If you did not receive an acknowledgement email, the email address entered may be incorrect. In that case, you may resubmit your application.
Due to the volume of applications we receive, direct updates from our Hiring Team are typically shared with candidates whose profiles closely match current client requirements and who move further along the process. We cannot promise an immediate match and would not want to place you on hold. You are welcome to pursue other opportunities while we continue to look for the right fit for you.
