JOB OVERVIEW

We are a specialist executive and senior-professional search firm focused on critical leadership roles across sectors, especially around Industrial, Banking & Finance, Technology and Supply Chain & Operations.

We work with senior hiring leaders and CEOs who require speed, accuracy, and discretion — not volume recruitment. Our searches are exclusive, research-driven, and outcome-focused.

This role is not for generic virtual assistants or junior recruiters.
We are looking for a serious professional researcher who can think structurally, work independently, and deliver high-quality candidate slates under tight timelines.

The Role:
You will function as a Research Associate supporting Director-level and above executive searches.

Your primary responsibility is to build accurate longlists and shortlists of qualified candidates by mapping companies, roles, and talent pools — fast and precisely — based on a detailed client job specification.

This role requires judgment, discipline, and business literacy.

Key Responsibilities
1. Candidate Research & Mapping
Interpret senior-level job descriptions (Director, Head-of, Senior Director).
Identify relevant target companies, competitor sets, and adjacent talent pools.
Build structured longlists (20–40 profiles) with clear rationale for inclusion.
Narrow down to shortlists (6–10 candidates) aligned to role scope and seniority.

2. Executive Profiling
Assess candidate background for:
Scope of responsibility
Industry relevance
Functional depth (supply chain, operations, manufacturing, logistics, etc.)
Leadership level and reporting lines
Highlight transferable skills and potential role fit in short written summaries.

3. Outreach & Initial Screening (Selective)
Support outreach drafting (LinkedIn / email).
Track responses and interest levels.
Conduct basic qualification screening when required (experience, motivation, constraints).

4. Research Operations & Reporting
Maintain clean, structured research trackers (Excel / Google Sheets).
Update candidate pipelines accurately and promptly.
Flag risks, gaps, or market insights early to the lead consultant.

What We’re Looking For:
Must-Have:
2+ years experience as a research associate, recruiter, or sourcing specialist
(executive search experience is strongly preferred)
Strong LinkedIn sourcing and Boolean search capability
Excellent written English (clear, professional, business-grade)
High attention to detail and ability to follow structured processes
Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision

Strong Advantage If You Have:
Prior experience supporting executive search firms or senior-level recruitment
Familiarity with corporate structures (Director vs VP vs Head-of distinctions)
Experience researching Industrial, Banking & Finance, Technology, Supply Chain & Operations roles
Ability to quickly understand new industries and functional domains

How You Work (This Matters a Lot)
You are likely a good fit if you:
Are organized, methodical, and disciplined
Think in terms of quality over quantity
Can work quietly and efficiently without hand-holding
Take pride in producing accurate, clean, professional work
Treat this role as a serious professional engagement, not a side hustle

This role is not suitable if you:
Apply to dozens of VA jobs daily
Rely heavily on templates without thinking
Need constant supervision or reminders
Prefer transactional or high-volume recruiting

Tools You’ll Use:
LinkedIn (Sales Navigator a plus)
Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets)
Excel
WhatsApp / Email
ATS or shared trackers (training provided)

Compensation & Growth:
Hourly rate: Competitive, based on experience
Performance-based increases for consistent high-quality output
Opportunity to grow into a Lead Researcher / Delivery Manager role as company scales
Long-term collaboration for high performers

Interested candidates, please apply per below instructions:
1. Email to: ---------- with email Title: Application for Associate position
2. In the body of your email, please indicate:
a) Industry sectors you have covered
b) What levels (Director, Senior Director, VP, or others)
c) Have you worked for any search or recruitment firms in the past
d) How many hours per week are you able to dedicate to this job
