LinkedIn Talent Acquisition & Headhunting Specialist – US IT Staffing

We are seeking a highly motivated LinkedIn Talent Acquisition & Business Development Executive specializing in US IT Staffing. The ideal candidate will have proven experience using LinkedIn as a primary tool to source technical candidates, headhunt talent, and generate new client opportunities. This role demands a proactive, hunter mindset focused on independently driving both candidate pipelines and business development, rather than passively posting jobs or relying on incoming applications. The position is fully remote and offers a competitive base salary with an industry-leading commission structure.

- Utilize advanced LinkedIn search techniques and LinkedIn Recruiter/Recruiter Lite to source qualified IT professionals.
- Proactively identify and engage passive technical candidates to build and maintain strong pipelines for US IT staffing needs.
- Screen candidates for technical skills, availability, work authorization, and overall fit.
- Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, including sourcing, screening, submission, interview coordination, and onboarding.

Business Development – US IT Staffing:
- Identify potential US IT staffing clients through LinkedIn and other professional networks.
- Research companies, hiring managers, recruiters, and decision-makers to develop targeted outreach strategies.
- Conduct professional cold outreach and build relationships to generate new staffing requirements.
- Maintain consistent follow-ups and manage the client acquisition pipeline to convert leads into business opportunities.

Bench Marketing:
- Market available bench consultants to relevant US clients and vendors.
- Identify suitable placement opportunities and coordinate submissions and follow-ups.
- Drive interview and placement opportunities for bench candidates.

Client & Candidate Management:
- Maintain professional relationships with clients, vendors, and candidates throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
- Coordinate submissions, interviews, feedback, and onboarding processes.
- Keep accurate recruitment and client records and ensure consistent communication during the hiring process.

Required Qualifications

- Proven experience in US IT Staffing, Technical Recruitment, or Talent Acquisition.
- Strong hands-on experience using LinkedIn for candidate sourcing and headhunting, including LinkedIn Recruiter/Recruiter Lite.
- Ability to independently source IT candidates on LinkedIn rather than relying on job applications.
- Experience sourcing technical profiles such as Software Developers, QA Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Data Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Business Analysts, and other IT professionals.
- Solid understanding of US IT staffing models and processes, including W2, C2C, 1099, work authorization, and onboarding.
- Excellent communication, negotiation, cold outreach, and relationship-building skills.
- Self-driven, target-oriented, and comfortable working independently with a strong hunter mentality.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

- Competitive base salary ranging from PKR 40,000 to 45,000, complemented by an industry-leading commission structure.
- Fully remote work mode offering flexibility and autonomy.
- Opportunity to work in a dynamic environment where you can leverage LinkedIn and your recruitment expertise to close US IT staffing requirements effectively.

This role is not suitable for candidates with only general HR or recruitment experience, those who have never independently sourced candidates through LinkedIn, or those who rely primarily on job portals and incoming applications. Candidates unfamiliar with cold outreach, follow-ups, or the US IT staffing market should also reconsider applying.

If you are confident in your ability to take a US IT requirement, leverage LinkedIn and the right tools, and successfully find, approach, recruit, and close placements, this opportunity is for you.
