Continuously identifying and engaging hard-to-find unicorn candidates
Staying ahead of market trends and competitor activity

Proven track record of delivering quality candidates at speed
Strong expertise in:
LinkedIn sourcing
Boolean search
GitHub / alternative sourcing channels
Experience working on high-volume, fast-paced contract roles
Excellent communication, admin, and ad-writing skills
High attention to detail and strong organisational ability

Freelance recruiters or those seeking fully remote / flexible side work
Individuals who have run their own agencies or large teams and are looking for a temporary role
Candidates looking to step away from hands-on delivery
Recruiters who rely purely on job boards or inbound applications
