HireHawk connects skilled professionals worldwide with meaningful remote opportunities at U.S. and Canadian companies. We believe strong talent can be found anywhere and deserves the opportunity to contribute to high-impact work from anywhere in the world.
For this position, HireHawk is recruiting on behalf of a U.S.-based employment law firm focused on identifying and supporting potential plaintiffs in employment and labor law matters.
About the Role
This is an investigative research position, not a traditional sales or lead generation role. Your focus will be finding the right people, verifying the information, and building reliable research systems that support potential employment law cases.
You will investigate targeted California employers, identify current and former employees, enrich and validate contact data, and help build the firm’s lead research infrastructure from the ground up. You will have meaningful autonomy to recommend tools, test new sourcing methods, and explain why one platform or methodology is more effective than another.
This role is well suited to someone who genuinely enjoys solving difficult research problems, connecting information across multiple sources, and locating people who are not easy to find.
Responsibilities
- Research California employers that may be involved in potential employment or labor law violations.
- Identify current and former employees of targeted companies using investigative research, public information, databases, and sourcing tools.
- Build accurate, well-organized prospect lists that can support potential class or representative actions.
- Locate individuals who may be suitable class action representatives based on defined case criteria.
- Find, enrich, verify, and document employee contact information using multiple research platforms.
- Maintain complete and accurate lead records within the firm’s CRM and research databases.
- Design repeatable workflows for employer research, people identification, data enrichment, and lead verification.
- Evaluate and recommend research databases, skip-tracing platforms, sourcing tools, and AI solutions.
- Test new investigative methods and measure which approaches produce the most accurate and qualified results.
- Support outreach efforts by delivering verified lead lists with clear sourcing notes and reliable contact data.
- Assist with online presence research and digital marketing opportunities when additional research support is needed.
Requirements
Must-Have:
- At least 3 years of experience in investigative research, lead research, sourcing, skip tracing, due diligence, business intelligence, fraud investigation, or advanced lead generation.
- Demonstrated experience building prospect or contact databases from scratch.
- Strong internet research skills and the ability to connect information across multiple sources.
- Experience using several lead research, people-search, sourcing, data enrichment, or contact verification platforms.
- Ability to locate hard-to-find individuals and validate the accuracy of contact information.
- Strong written English, analytical judgment, and attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently during Pacific Time business hours with minimal supervision.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with OSINT, skip tracing, private investigation, background research, executive search, or legal lead research.
- Familiarity with California employment law, labor law, class actions, or plaintiff identification.
- Experience comparing research tools and presenting clear recommendations based on accuracy, coverage, cost, and usability.
- Experience developing CRM workflows, research playbooks, or lead qualification systems.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted research, automation, or data enrichment workflows.
Benefits
- Access to a $200K+ perk marketplace with discounts on 150+ global services.
- Option to withdraw up to 50% of approved earnings before payday.
