THE ROLE

This is a high-impact hunter role where you'll proactively source and attract top-tier talent through strategic cold-calling and persuasive outreach.

THE TASKS

May include, but not be limited to, the following tasks:

• Proactively cold-calling target candidates and executing outbound messaging campaigns across LinkedIn and email to reach passive talent markets.
