I need an experienced recruiter who can quickly head-hunt, vet, and present a strong shortlist of candidates for several open positions at my early-stage tech company. The most urgent focus is on leadership roles (think VP-level and above), though we will shortly extend the search to key tech and growth-marketing positions once the top executive seats are filled. Here’s what the assignment looks like from my end: • Partner with me to refine each leadership job profile and define the must-have competencies. • Source passive and active talent using your own networks, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, AngelList, or any other channels you trust. • Conduct first-round screening calls, assess cultural fit, and verify track records. • Deliver a concise slate—ideally 5-7 qualified candidates per role—together with résumé, compensation expectations, and your interview notes. • Keep communication tight; we will review and iterate in real time so we can move candidates through the funnel fast. Acceptance criteria – A vetted shortlist for each priority leadership role within the agreed timeframe. – Clear, structured interview notes that justify why each person made the cut. – Weekly progress updates until roles are closed. Please include a detailed project proposal outlining your sourcing strategy, typical turnaround times, and any tools or tech you rely on. I’m ready to start immediately and would like to see first results as soon as possible.

Hi there, This is Gene from Luxembourg. Hiring VP-level talent usually fails when competency signals are too broad and passive sourcing isn’t tightly mapped to real execution history. I’d refine each leadership scorecard with you, then head-hunt via LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub and startup networks, run tight screening calls, and deliver a 5–7 candidate shortlist per role. At Byborg Enterprises and LiveJasmin/Oranum I’ve worked in fast-scaling product orgs where senior-level coordination and performance-critical systems were standard. First shortlist within ~3 days. Which leadership roles are highest priority right now? I can start sourcing immediately.

Hi, I see you’re looking for a seasoned recruiter who can consistently bring top-quality candidates into your pipeline. I’ve spent the last 15 years running recruitment desks and managing talent pipelines across diverse international markets. I recruit globally and know how to navigate different talent pools seamlessly. To give you a recent example, I just successfully delivered qualified candidates to a USA client by sourcing across Bulgaria, Serbia, Israel, and Denmark. To find the exact talent you need, I don't just rely on standard job boards. I utilize advanced Google X-Ray techniques , deep-dive platform sourcing, and localized community mining to uncover passive professionals who aren't actively applying to traditional ads. Regarding your models, I am completely flexible. I am happy to handle the full funnel, sourcing, initial competency vetting, and communication screening over a call, so you only speak with the top tier of candidates. However, if you just want top-of-funnel volume, the sourcing-only option works perfectly for me too. Your pay-per-candidate structure is completely fair, and I can adapt to whatever tracking system or payment schedule you prefer. Let’s skip the long back-and-forth messages and get straight to the work. Send over your most urgent job description, and I will deliver a customized sourcing plan and your first batch of profiles right away. Best regards, Sallah

Hi Team, I'm Jyoti Singh, a Talent Partner with 10+ years specialising in niche technical and leadership hiring for high-growth startups. At Wisemonk, I've been part of the founding recruitment team for a portfolio of global startups including an Australia-based SaaS company, My work is almost entirely with founders and hiring managers on hard-to-fill roles that need real headhunting, not just job board posting. How I'd work with you: I start with a proper alignment conversation not just the job description, but who you are as a founder, what your team dynamic looks like today, and what kind of leader will actually thrive in your environment. Most searches fail because this part gets skipped. From there I go wide on sourcing LinkedIn Recruiter, Wellfound, Crunchbase, GitHub, referral networks targeting passive candidates who aren't on job boards but might move for the right opportunity. For VP-level roles, that's where the best people always are. I'm based in IST and have worked comfortably with Australian clients before , happy to align on overlap hours that work for you. Would love to connect this week and hear more about the roles you're prioritising first.
