## Part-Time LinkedIn Researcher
We are looking for a **part-time researcher** to help identify qualified LinkedIn prospects for a college ambassador program for a hijab / modest-fashion brand.
This is a **research-only position**. There is no messaging, connecting, following, liking, or other outreach involved.
### What You'll Do
Your main responsibility will be to manually research LinkedIn and other public sources to identify approximately **20 qualified prospects per day** based on criteria we provide.
Prospects will generally be women connected to Muslim student organizations at U.S. universities, with a preference for students and recent graduates from top universities.
You will record information such as:
- Name and LinkedIn profile
- University and graduation year
- Headline and location
- Relevant background information
- Profile photo
- Evidence of involvement with a Muslim student organization
- Research notes
Detailed qualification criteria, examples, research heuristics, and university/student-organization resources will be provided.
### Relevant Experience
We are primarily looking for someone who already has experience with work similar to this.
Relevant experience may include:
- LinkedIn research or prospect sourcing
- Recruiting or candidate sourcing
- Manual lead generation
- Influencer or ambassador research
- University/student organization research
- Building targeted prospect lists
- Online research and data verification
You should be comfortable researching beyond the first search result, verifying that someone actually meets the provided criteria, and documenting your findings accurately.
**Please do not apply if your experience is primarily automated lead scraping or bulk data collection.** This project requires thoughtful, manual research.
### Time Availability
This is not intended to be a quick, high-volume research task.
Finding 20 genuinely qualified prospects can take **several hours of focused research**, and some days may require **4+ hours**.
We are specifically looking for someone who:
- Has enough free time to consistently focus on the project
- Can work patiently without rushing through profiles
- Is available for ongoing part-time work
- Can reliably meet the expected daily research output
- Is comfortable spending significant time verifying prospects rather than simply collecting names
Quality and accuracy are more important than speed.
### How the Research Should Be Done
Research must be performed **manually using a normal browser**.
No scraping tools, automated LinkedIn software, bots, or bulk prospecting tools should be used.
The goal is to produce a smaller list of **well-qualified and well-researched prospects**, rather than a large list of loosely relevant profiles.
### Ideal Applicant
The ideal applicant is someone who is:
- Experienced with LinkedIn or online prospect research
- Detail-oriented and patient
- Good at following specific qualification criteria
- Comfortable independently investigating and verifying information
- Organized with spreadsheets and research documentation
- Reliable and able to dedicate several focused hours to the work
### When Applying
Please include:
Start application with: "BIG BOOM"
1. A short description of your most relevant previous experience.
2. Examples of similar LinkedIn, recruiting, lead-generation, influencer, or research work you have done.
3. Approximately **how many hours per day and days per week you are currently available** for this project.
Applicants with directly relevant experience **and meaningful availability to focus on the work** will be prioritized.
