Project Description
Title:
Job Search Virtual Assistant / Reverse Recruiting Assistant for Data Science, Data Engineering, and Analytics Engineering Roles
Description:
I am looking for a reliable virtual assistant to help with my job search by finding relevant data-related roles and submitting applications on my behalf using my approved resume versions and application instructions.
I work in data science, analytics engineering, and data engineering. The goal is not to mass-apply to random jobs. I need someone who can carefully follow filters, apply only to relevant roles, and track everything in a structured spreadsheet.
Target roles:
- Data Scientist
- Senior Data Scientist
- Decision Scientist
- Analytics Engineer
- Revenue Analytics / Sales Analytics roles with strong SQL, Python, modeling, or data engineering components
Location preferences:
- Remote US
- Hybrid/onsite near Philadelphia, PA / New Jersey / NYC area
- Other onsite roles only if compensation and role quality are strong
Do NOT apply to:
- Junior roles
- Pure Tableau / BI dashboard-only analyst roles
- Roles that are mostly manual reporting
- Roles requiring 5 days onsite unless approved
- Roles with very low compensation
- Jobs requiring sponsorship if the posting clearly says it cannot support my work authorization situation
- Anything unrelated to data science, data engineering, analytics engineering, or revenue analytics
- Pure engineering roles
Responsibilities:
- Search for relevant jobs on LinkedIn, company career pages, Indeed, Built In, Otta/Welcome to the Jungle, Wellfound, and similar sources
- Review each job description against my criteria
- Select the correct resume version based on the role type
- Submit applications using my approved answers and materials
- Track every application in a Google Sheet
- Flag any application that asks unusual questions, salary expectations, legal/background information, demographic/disability/veteran information, or anything that requires my personal review
- Provide a weekly summary of applications submitted, companies, role titles, links, and recruiter responses
Important rules:
- No bots or automated browser extensions
- No fake information
- No editing my resume without approval
- No answering sensitive personal questions without approval
- No using my personal email password or accessing personal accounts unless explicitly approved
- All applications must be tracked
Deliverables for the trial:
- 50 high-quality applications submitted within 5-7 days
- Google Sheet with company, role title, location, salary if available, job link, date applied, resume version used, login/account used, and status
- Short weekly summary with any recruiter responses or follow-ups needed
Required experience:
- Experience with job applications, recruiting support, virtual assistant work, or career support
- Strong English reading/writing ability
- Attention to detail
- Ability to follow strict instructions
- Familiarity with US job boards and data/tech roles is preferred
To apply:
Please answer these questions:
1. Have you helped someone apply for jobs before? If yes, what types of roles?
2. How many high-quality applications can you submit per week?
3. How do you decide whether a job is a good fit?
4. How would you track applications?
5. What information would you flag for my approval instead of answering yourself?
6. What is your fixed price for a trial of 25 applications?
