  • Cold Outreach : Execute a high volume of personalized, cold outreach messages to potential talent daily, introducing them to our client's opportunity.
  • Lead Nurturing : Engage in initial conversations, answer basic questions, and build interest with potential applicants.
  • Application Funneling : Direct qualified and interested individuals to the official application portal.

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for accurate tracking and reporting.
  • No prior experience in the talent management industry is required; training on criteria and messaging will be provided.

    • Ideal Candidate Profile

  • You are resilient and not discouraged by rejection.
  • You are process-oriented and can efficiently follow guidelines to achieve volume-based goals.

    • Logistics & Terms
