Telecommuting Research Associate, Intellerati in New York
The Good Search is seeking a telecommuting Research Associate to join our newly spun-out research division Intellerati. We are seeking an exceptionally bright, driven sourcing professional to apprentice with one of the leading executive search and human capital intelligence practices in the country. The Associate will conduct talent acquisition research and intelligence ranging from identifying, profiling, screening, and qualifying candidates to mapping and building out org charts to conducting industry studies gleaning competitive insights from the talent ecosystem. The role offers the opportunity for significant advancement.
LOCATION
While we prefer candidates in Fairfield County, CT/Greater New York City area so that we can meet in person as required, we are open to consider talent based anywhere in the US. The role is a telecommuting one and, as such, offers unparalleled work/life balance.
OUR APPROACH:
Online Sourcing:We work hard to find our clients the talent they need. (In fact, not finding the perfect candidate occasionally keeps us up at night.) So we expect the best from ourselves and each other. We do a lot of online research and data entry, rapidly entering, updating and cleaning data as we go. In fact, we find the work strangely meditative, like working to fill in the missing pieces in a gigantic data jigsaw puzzle as we map talent at companies, building org charts reporting-relationship-by-reporting-relationship.
Phone Sourcing:The work also involves phone research and so you actually have to like picking up the phone and talking to people. We do it to cultivate our sources, gather referrals and insights, and find the shortest path to the best information. We have a strong passion -- if not obsession -- for the world of business and serve employers in media/entertainment, technology as well as portfolio companies of venture capital and private equity firms. We have a stated "goodness" ethos, so you have to care about the candidate, about the client, and about your team because you believe you can make a real difference. (No jerks allowed.) In fact, we actually believe we can help make the world a better place -- one hire at a time.
