Who we are
We’re a founder-led recruiting partner working with US seed and Series A startups to hire elite Canadian engineers. We operate like an internal talent function, not a resume-forwarding agency.
Our work sits at the intersection of:
* Technical talent judgment
* Real GTM signal
* Clean, disciplined execution
We care about quality, clarity, and trust. If you do too, you’ll feel at home here.
We own multiple companies that have hired thousands of teammates from the Philippines, many of whom have worked with us for 10+ years. You will be at the ground floor for our latest venture.
You will enjoy steady, long-term work in a supportive and dynamic environment. We are committed to personal and professional growth, offering numerous opportunities for career advancement, skill development, and increased responsibilities. With a structured onboarding and training program, ongoing training, and a successful work-from-home culture, we set you up for success from day one.
Why this role exists
Our founders don’t need more resumes. They need clear judgment, high-signal pipelines, and outbound rooted in real triggers.
This role exists to do exactly that—combining technical sourcing, GTM research, and written decision-making into one tight operating loop.
This is not a generic VA role. It’s an operator role with real responsibility and visibility.
Mission
Build Canada-only engineering pipelines and trigger-based outbound that leads to real founder conversations—through evidence-backed sourcing, strong written judgment, and disciplined execution.
What you’ll actually own
1) Technical sourcing (primary focus)
- Produce ~50-100 new Canada-based engineering leads per week
- Deliver 20–35 A-tier candidates with real proof (links + evidence notes)
- Maintain clean, structured data (no duplicates, no padding)
- Continuously improve search strategies across LinkedIn, GitHub, and X-ray
2) Manual GTM trigger research
- Research ~20 trigger-qualified companies per day
- Log only real triggers (funding, hiring pain, stalled roles, team changes, tech signals)
- Clearly explain why each trigger is actionable now
3) Insight-led outbound drafting
- Draft 10–20 outbound messages per day
- Every message tied to a real trigger (no trigger = no message)
- Written for founders and CTOs—clear, specific, and grounded
4) Same-day role memos + coordination
- Write a 1-page role memo immediately after client intake
- Capture judgment clearly: must-haves, tradeoffs, sourcing plan
- Handle light coordination and status updates with candidates and clients
How your time typically breaks down
~60% sourcing & shortlists
~25% trigger research
~10% outbound drafting
~5% memos & coordination
(Exact mix shifts by week, but sourcing quality always comes first.)
What success looks like
In your first 30 days
* Your lists are clean, accurate, and easy to trust
* Your evidence notes show real technical judgment
* Your writing is clear and structured
By 60 days
* Recruiters accept most of your A-tier recommendations
* Your outbound messages earn replies
* Role memos require minimal edits
By 90 days
* You operate like a pipeline owner
* You proactively improve how we source and research
* Founders and recruiters trust your judgment without needing hand-holding
What we’re looking for (non-negotiable)
* Proven experience sourcing technical / engineering talent
* Strong written communication (clarity > perfect grammar)
* Comfort working in Google Sheets with discipline (dedupe, tagging, QA)
* Evidence-based thinking—you can explain why someone is strong
* High integrity (no padding, no fabrication, no guessing)
* Comfortable working async with daily written updates and early escalation
Nice to have
* Experience sourcing Canadian engineers
* Agency or startup recruiting background
* Exposure to multiple engineering specialties
* Prior work that blends research + writing + execution
This role is not a fit if you:
* Only have generic VA or admin experience
* Can’t show real sourcing output
* Write generic outbound messages
* Dislike structured work or documentation
Struggle with ownership and judgment calls
Compensation & growth
* Long term career/growth opportunities
* Competitive PH rate (based on experience)
* As trust grows, so does scope, autonomy, and compensation
