"VA Research" — I've handled recruiting sourcing before, so this jumped out fast: you need someone who can turn a vague requirement into a real, verified shortlist, not just a LinkedIn export. My approach is simple: define the search criteria clearly with you first, then cross-check every profile across LinkedIn, Google, and public directories before it goes on the list, so names, titles, and contact info are actually current, not guessed. I keep everything organized in Sheets with status tracking for outreach and follow-ups, and I flag anything I can't verify instead of padding the list. I'm available to start immediately and can handle a steady daily research volume. Want me to run a quick sample search on one of your actual criteria so you can see the quality before deciding?

VA Research Hi, I'd be happy to help with this. I've done a lot of online research, recruitment, candidate sourcing, and lead generation, so finding the right people based on specific requirements is something I'm already comfortable with. For example, if you needed people with a particular job title, location, industry, or experience, I'd start by breaking the requirements into search terms, use LinkedIn and Google to build an initial pool, then check each profile individually rather than relying only on search results. I'd organize the findings in Google Sheets with the relevant details and clearly separate strong matches from uncertain ones. I've also worked with LinkedIn, job boards, Google Sheets, Excel, Google Workspace, and other research and recruitment tools. I'm a fast learner, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. I'm available for ongoing remote work and can start soon. I'd be happy to discuss the type of people you'll be researching and show you how I approach the first assignment.
