Identify relevant full-time openings through company career pages, LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed and other credible sources. Verify that each position genuinely matches my technical background, seniority, location and immigration requirements. Provide a shortlist for my approval before submitting applications. Tailor my résumé and professional summary for high-priority opportunities without adding false information. Apply only to positions I have approved. Maintain a shared spreadsheet containing: Company Position Location Salary, when available Sponsorship status Application link Application date Résumé version used Recruiter or hiring-manager details Current status Follow-up date Identify appropriate recruiters, hiring managers and employee-referral opportunities. Draft personalized LinkedIn messages and recruiter emails. Provide a weekly report showing applications, responses, interviews and recommended next steps.

What infrastructure, Linux, DevOps or Elasticsearch roles have you recruited for? How will you determine whether an employer supports H-1B transfers? How many carefully targeted opportunities can you identify each week? Will you allow me to approve every application before submission? Please provide a sample application-tracking spreadsheet. Describe one recent example where you helped a senior technical professional secure interviews. I would prefer to begin with a two-week paid trial. Success will initially be measured through the quality and relevance of opportunities, recruiter responses and interview invitations—not simply the number of applications submitted.
