About the Role

I’m hiring a Remote Researcher based outside the UK to support a specialist technology recruitment consultancy. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys deep online research, analysing new markets, and identifying high-quality candidates across global tech sectors.

You’ll work directly with me — no layers, no bureaucracy — and your research will shape which markets we enter and which candidates we engage.

What You’ll Do

  • Research international technology markets, emerging niches, and high-growth sectors

  • Identify direct-hire employers (no recruitment agencies) in the UK, Europe, and beyond

  • Build targeted lists of developers, engineers, architects, quant specialists, and other technical talent

  • Investigate company structures, hiring patterns, and decision-makers

  • Compile clean, accurate data into spreadsheets and trackers

  • Support outreach campaigns with verified, actionable intelligence

  • Monitor global trends in tech, fintech, trading, defence, MSPs, and other specialist verticals

Who This Role Suits
  • You’re based outside the UK and want flexible, remote work

  • You’re highly organised, curious, and detail-driven

  • You enjoy online research and can find information others miss

  • You can work independently and deliver clear, structured outputs

  • You write confidently in English

  • You’re comfortable using LinkedIn, GitHub, company registries, and open-source intelligence tools

Bonus Skills
  • Experience in recruitment research, sourcing, or market mapping

  • Understanding of tech roles (software, cloud, cyber, data, quant, etc.)

  • Ability to spot patterns and recommend new markets worth exploring

What You’ll Get
  • 100% remote work — any country, any timezone

  • Flexible hours to suit your schedule

  • Direct collaboration with the founder

  • Clear briefs, fast feedback, and ongoing work for strong performers

  • A chance to influence strategy in a growing consultancy
