Research Assistant — List Building & Data Compilation

Description: I'm looking for a detail-oriented research assistant to help me build and organize a contact list in Google Sheets. This is straightforward compilation and enrichment work from publicly available information — a good fit if you're fast, accurate, and comfortable working in spreadsheets. The work: I'll give you a defined set of sources and categories. You'll compile records into a structured sheet, verify and enrich contact details where publicly available, rate confidence on each, and build a clean summary tab. I'll share full specifics (sources, exact columns, target list) with shortlisted candidates. Compliance note: All work uses only publicly available information and must comply with each source's terms of use. Deliverable: One organized Google Sheet — multiple tabs plus a summary tab with totals, find rates, and confidence ratings. Scope: Roughly 250–500 records across several sources (I'll confirm exact volume). Two milestones — raw list first, enriched sheet second. In your proposal, please answer all four (proposals skipping any won't be considered): -What tools do you use for finding and verifying contact details? (Apollo, Hunter, Clay, or other — be specific) -Your typical find rate on this kind of list-building work? -Describe a similar research/list-building project you've completed (size, type, deliverable format). -How do you approach accuracy and de-duplication on a list like this? Timeline: 10 business days from start. One piece of the project is time-sensitive — I'll flag it with the shortlist. Budget: $500 fixed, split across two milestones.
