Bilal Z.
Full Cycle Recruiter | Talent Sourcing | Hiring Expert
Hi, I'm Bilal Zahid — Full-Cycle Recruiter & Talent Acquisition Specialist I help companies find, screen, and hire the right people — faster and without the chaos. 4+ years of hands-on recruiting experience across the US, UK, UAE, and beyond. From IT and tech to sales, finance, and operations. I've worked both in-house and as an independent recruiter, managing everything from the first job post to the final offer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ What I Actually Do: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I don't just post jobs and wait. I build pipelines. ✔ Job Posting & Multi-Board Distribution — I write and post compelling job descriptions on Indeed, LinkedIn, and other boards that attract the right candidates, not just the most candidates ✔ Active Candidate Sourcing — LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, Boolean & X-Ray search, resume databases, and passive candidate outreach. I find people who aren't actively applying elsewhere ✔ Application Review & Pipeline Management — I screen incoming applicants directly in your ATS or job board accounts, keeping your pipeline clean, organized, and moving ✔ First-Round Screening Interviews — Structured 15–30 minute intro interviews assessed against your scorecard. I evaluate communication, culture fit, and role readiness — not just keywords on a resume ✔ Candidate Reports & Shortlists — Clear written notes and shortlist recommendations so your hiring team walks into second interviews prepared, not guessing ✔ Interview Coordination — I handle all scheduling between candidates and your team so nothing slips through the cracks ✔ Consistent, Bias-Free Process — Every candidate gets the same structured experience. Fair, documented, and repeatable at any volume 📌 Available during Eastern Time (EST). Comfortable handling 50+ interviews per week. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Tools I Work With: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Sourcing: LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, Indeed, Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, Upwork Search: Boolean & X-Ray techniques Collaboration: Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Google Drive Tracking: ATS platforms, job board dashboards, shared live trackers ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Industries I Recruit For: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Technology • Cybersecurity • Software Development • Data & Analytics • Salesforce • Marketing & Sales • Finance • Business & Operations • Human Resources ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Roles & Levels I Hire For: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Executives • Senior Professionals • Mid-Level Specialists • Entry-Level • Graduates & Interns Remote | Hybrid | Onsite | Contract | Full-Time ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ My Recruiting Philosophy: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I don't do spray-and-pray. I don't believe in flooding your inbox with names that look good on paper but go nowhere in interviews. I believe in hiring right — with speed. Targeted sourcing, structured screening, and a pipeline your hiring managers will actually thank you for. If you're a founder tired of weak pipelines, a hiring manager who needs someone to own the process end-to-end, or a team scaling fast and needing precision over volume — let's talk. ⬇ Hire me ⬇ ⬇ Invite to Job ⬇ Regards, Bilal. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Note: I also offer Job Search & Reverse Recruiting services for professionals looking for their next role. Feel free to ask.
