I'm looking for an experienced freelance sourcer / recruiter to build a PRE-SCREENED LONGLIST of 10 candidates. This is a sourcing / pre-screening engagement ONLY — I am NOT hiring or placing anyone through you, and there is NO placement fee. My client will review the 10 candidates and decide separately. CANDIDATE PROFILE TO SOURCE: - Primarily Malaysian nationals - Speaks Chinese (conversational level is enough — does NOT need to be fluent/advanced) - Can design a PCB (printed circuit board) AND get it manufactured / fabricated (handles the design and knows how to take it to production) - Has hands-on experience sourcing the required electronic components from China (and other countries) - Focus region: Penang / Klang Valley electronics (E&E) ecosystem DELIVERABLE — one spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel), for each of the 10 candidates: - Full name - A profile or portfolio link (LinkedIn is fine; if they have no LinkedIn, any other proof — personal site, GitHub, portfolio, or CV) - A short justification (2–3 lines) of why they fit (PCB design + manufacturing, China component sourcing, Chinese language) - References / evidence of past work where available - A WORKING email AND phone number for each candidate — this is MANDATORY, not optional Because verified email + phone are required, you will need to contact candidates and include only those who agree to be reached. Please collect contact details lawfully and with the candidate's awareness. HOW I'LL WORK: - Fixed price, paid via milestones through the platform. - Milestone 1 (~30%): 3 sample candidates with full details, so I can check quality before you continue. - Milestone 2 (~70%): the remaining 7 candidates. WHEN YOU BID, PLEASE TELL ME: 1. Have you sourced electronics / E&E / engineering candidates in Malaysia (Penang / Klang Valley) before? Briefly, how? 2. How do you obtain and verify each candidate's working email and phone number? 3. Your estimated turnaround for all 10 candidates. Budget is fixed, within the range shown. Quality and verified contact details are the priority, not the lowest price.

Hello, I’m an Electronics and Embedded Systems Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on experience in PCB design, embedded hardware development, component sourcing, and taking products from concept through manufacturing. While this project is primarily a sourcing assignment, my technical background allows me to accurately evaluate candidates’ PCB design capabilities, manufacturing experience, and component sourcing knowledge rather than simply matching keywords. I can professionally pre-screen candidates, conduct technical discussions, verify their experience, confirm their contact details with their consent, and deliver a high-quality shortlist that matches your requirements. I’m available to start immediately and can provide the first milestone within the agreed timeline.

Having spent years in the electrical and electronics industry, I have honed my skills in candidate sourcing—specifically for PCB design and manufacturing roles within Penang and Klang Valley. One of my strengths is my ability to source candidates proficient in Chinese, and from personal websites and platforms like LinkedIn, I can quickly identify those with hands-on experience in electronic components sourcing from China. Working priorly on each of these fronts has prepared me to easily locate Malaysia's top PCB engineers who fit your requirements: fluent Chinese speakers, skilled designers, acquainted with production as well as sourcing. To ensure utmost authenticity, I practice a comprehensive approach towards verifying contact information. Whether it is an email or phone number, I collect each of them legally and only from candidates with demonstrated awareness. Hence quality deliverables are assured and the efficiency of our collaboration should not be hindered by missing or non-functional contact information.

Given this understanding, I estimatively believe completion within X days would be feasible without compromising on quality. Considering this bid is a fixed price based on milestones through your preferred platform, let's guarantee one another success by partnering up on this venture!

Hi, Yes, I have sourced engineering candidates before in Malaysia through a consultancy agency based in Asia. I was the in-charge of hiring manager as a volunteer for that company. Each candidate's working email and phone number I will verify with more deep research and my turnaround would be approx 10 days maximum. Hope this is OK? Regards, Subhasis

I understand you need a skilled sourcer for 10 PCB/Electronics Engineer candidates in Malaysia. I've sourced and recruited engineering candidates in the Penang/Klang Valley region before, specifically focusing on electronics. I understand the local market dynamics and candidate availability. I can guarantee verified contacts through direct outreach, ensuring candidates consent to share their emails and phone numbers. This builds trust and yields better quality candidates. I will provide the required spreadsheet with details , meaning full names, profiles, justification for fit, and references. Do you have specific criteria for the candidate's experience in PCB design? Also, is there a preferred format for the justification? What timeline do you expect for the initial submission of candidates? I'm ready to deliver quality candidates that meet your exact requirements.

In short, when it comes to PCB design, those Chinese ODM brands like Huawei and ZTE, who are willing to invest in high-quality materials and workmanship, directly impact subsequent yield rates, after-sales service, repairs, power consumption, heat generation, noise suppression, and interference. Their average output across all levels rivals that of top-tier Taiwanese electronics manufacturers such as Delta, Foxconn, Inventec, Wistron, Quanta, Compal, and Pegatron. Furthermore, their products are used in commercial computer servers and beyond, far exceeding the quality standards of most countries. Huawei's engineers possess comprehensive knowledge, while Taiwanese electronics OEMs emphasize highly specialized processes and workflows. This difference is a consequence of the political and economic structures and competitive environments of different countries and companies, and is nothing to be surprised about. The political complexity and sensitivity in Malaysia are one to two orders of magnitude lower. In fact, this has been the situation since before the 2019 US-China trade war, just with a more gentlemanly approach. Relationships tend to be characterized by a cyclical shift, with priorities like "friendship first, competition second" or vice versa. The work intensity in the electronics factories here cannot be directly compared to that in Shenzhen or Dongguan, China.

Hello, I'm a Malaysia-based freelance lead generation specialist and researcher, and candidate sourcing is part of my day-to-day work. I've successfully completed multiple sourcing projects for international clients, building accurate, well-researched prospect and candidate lists across Malaysia. For this project, I'll source candidates through LinkedIn, company websites, industry directories, engineering communities, and targeted research. Every candidate will be carefully pre-screened to ensure they meet your requirements before being included. To obtain and verify working email addresses and phone numbers, I will contact candidates directly and only include those who agree to be approached, ensuring all contact details are current and shared with their awareness. My priority is quality over quantity. I focus on delivering high-quality, thoroughly pre-screened candidates with verified contact details. I can deliver the first 3 candidates within 3–4 days and complete all 10 candidates within 7–10 days, depending on candidate response time. I look forward to working with you.
