JOB OVERVIEW

Company: MissFit Coaching in Chicago USA
Location: Remote (Philippines-based)
Engagement: Independent contractor, full-time hours
Reports to: David Sho, Customer Success

About MissFit
MissFit Coaching is a boutique reverse-recruiting and executive career strategy firm. We work with senior white-collar professionals — many in active job transitions — to run their job search the way a search firm runs a client mandate: proactive targeting, hidden-market outreach, and disciplined pipeline management, not just resume tweaks and job board applications. Our founder is an ICF-PCC certified coach with 30 years of corporate HR and executive search experience.

The Role
We're hiring a senior-level executive search professional to execute reverse-recruiting operations for our clients — director, VP, and C-suite candidates navigating their own search. This is not an admin or sourcing-support role. You will run the tactical work of an executive search: mapping target companies, identifying decision-makers, building outreach sequences, and managing candidate positioning with the same rigor a retained search firm applies to a client mandate — just pointed in the opposite direction, in service of the candidate.

You'll execute against MissFit's documented playbooks and systems, working within our Customer Success team under David Sho. This is a system-driven operation, not a loose freelance gig — you'll work inside our proprietary ---------- ntum Maximizer tracking system, our Fit Finder scoring standard, and our daily team rhythm (Slack standups, commit cards, go-live QA gates), with clear process and real infrastructure behind you.

What You'll Do
Build and execute target company and contact lists for clients at the director-to-C-suite level, using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Apollo

Identify hiring signals (leadership changes, funding events, org shifts) that indicate real, timely opportunity — not just open postings

Draft outreach messaging and positioning copy in the client's voice, calibrated to executive-level readers

Manage and maintain client search trackers (our proprietary ---------- ntum Maximizer system) with complete, accurate, and current data

Score and evaluate job opportunities against client fit criteria

Flag stalled searches, missed follow-ups, and networking gaps before they become client-facing problems

Communicate search progress and strategy clearly, in writing, to both clients and internal team

What You Will Never Do
These are firm, non-negotiable boundaries at MissFit — if your prior search experience relies on any of these, this role will require you to work differently:

Never log into or request a client's LinkedIn credentials

Never send messages or applications as if you are the client

Never submit an application without prior approval

Never negotiate directly with an employer on a client's behalf

Never guarantee a client outcome, timeline, or offer

What You Bring
7+ years in executive search, retained recruiting, or leadership hiring — ideally with direct experience at the director-level-and-above mandate tier, not just mid-level or volume recruiting

Strong command of written English — clear, professional, no filler, no AI-generated phrasing. You'll be asked to write in a client's voice, and your own writing sample is part of how we evaluate you

Working fluency with LinkedIn Recruiter/Sales Navigator, Apollo, or comparable sourcing and intelligence tools

Comfort with confidential, high-stakes work — you're often handling someone's livelihood and reputation

Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently against a documented process without heavy oversight

Based in the Philippines, able to work hours with meaningful overlap with U.S. Central Time, we have staff in Nigeria, Pakistan and the Phillipines already.

Comfort operating inside a defined system (trackers, scoring standards, daily standups) rather than an unstructured freelance workflow

How You're Measured
Once onboarded, your performance is tracked on two KPIs: client satisfaction and client renewal. Renewals earn you a bonus — your work is judged on whether clients stay and succeed, not on activity volume alone.

How We Evaluate Candidates
Our hiring process is deliberately rigorous because the work is high-trust. Expect:

Three short written screening answers (under 200 words each, no AI tools)

A one-minute unscripted video introduction

A short interview

A paid trial engagement before any ongoing contract is confirmed

Why This Role
This is a chance to do real executive search work — high-caliber and outcome-driven — in a fully remote contract role with a U.S.-based firm, working alongside a 30-year executive search and HR veteran. Strong performers have a path to higher-scope responsibility over time.

To Apply - READ THIS CAREFULLY -

Email your resume and a brief intro video (unscripted, one minute) to ---------- with the subject line: "Executive Search Operator."
