Our client, a top executive search firm and one of our longtime partners, is seeking a detail-obsessed, investigative, research-driven professional to join their team. If you’ve ever been told you can dig better than the FBI… this role is absolutely for you.

They’re looking for someone who LOVES getting lost in data — not in a statistical or analytical sense, but more like library science meets digital archaeology meets investigative research. Someone who wants to open every tab, follow every trail, and bring order to a massive database.

In this role, you’ll dive deep into their enormous ATS, reviewing thousands of roles spanning 15+ years. For each position, you’ll track down every candidate, uncover where they are today, update the system, and flag anyone who could be a strong potential candidate now.

This is the perfect role for someone sharp, proactive, curious, and energized by research, sourcing, and building clean, powerful pipelines that drive world-class hiring.

WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING
