We are looking for freelance sourcers who can help us identify highly relevant LinkedIn profiles for complex technical roles.
This is not a full-cycle recruiter role. You will not contact candidates. Your task is to find strong, relevant LinkedIn profiles based on our job requirements.

- RF PCB Engineering Manager
- SAR System Engineer
- Radar / RF Engineer
- Electronics Engineer

- Other niche engineering and technology roles
Some roles are very specific and hard to find, especially in aerospace, RF, SAR, electronics, and satellite-related domains.
What you will do
You will:
- Search for relevant candidate profiles on LinkedIn
- Use Boolean search, LinkedIn filters, company mapping, and market research
- Identify people who match the must-have requirements

- Include a short reason why each profile is relevant
- Avoid duplicates and irrelevant profiles
- Follow our sourcing brief for each role
You will not:
- Contact candidates
- Send LinkedIn messages
- Run screening calls
- Ask candidates for CVs
- Represent us to candidates
- Manage interview stages
Our internal team will handle all candidate outreach and communication.

An approved profile must include:

What we do not pay for
We do not pay for:
- Random LinkedIn profiles
- Profiles that do not match the must-have requirements
- Duplicates
- Profiles already in our database
- People from wrong locations if location is a must-have
- Profiles with no clear technical relevance
- Fake profiles
- Scraped mass lists without quality review
- Profiles found through fake, rented, shared, or automated LinkedIn accounts
->Compensation: We are open to discuss your expectations.
