About this task

This Public-sector services provider serving health agencies (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a specialist Talent Researcher for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Companies where the best candidates currently work.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It supplies the public sector, so documentation follows contract rules.

The team sits in Los Angeles. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

What you deliver

  • Build a list of 50 target companies for a revenue operations hire with notes on size and team.
  • The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed
  • One round of edits after the company's review is included
  • A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

How the work runs

  • Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared
  • Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback
  • Last day: final version and handover note

Duration: about 10 working days. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.
