How to run a focused search

Do this weekly

Tip: Keep a simple tracker with org, contact, last touch, artifact link, and next action. Follow up every 7–10 days with something useful (insight, intro, or an iteration of your artifact).

Make the first touch count

Stand out fast

  • Ship a 1–2 page portfolio with problem → action → outcome and links to proof.

  • Translate metrics into impact: uptime → field worker hours saved; funnel lift → more beneficiaries served; infra cost cuts → funds freed for programs.

  • Lead with time zones, salary expectations, and start date to reduce back-and-forth.

  • Ask for a "10-minute vibe check" instead of a full interview to increase reply rates.
