Talent Scout (Contract)
Job Description
About Fresno Summit Advisors
Fresno Summit runs recruiting and builds the hiring systems companies need to grow, so they can hire the right people without having to build an internal recruiting team first.
We partner with startups and SMBs to diagnose talent and hiring challenges, design the right talent strategy, and execute through embedded talent leadership, operational support, or contingency search recruiting.
Our core services include:
End-to-end recruiting (embedded retainers or contingency search placement fees)
Talent Operations
People Operations
AI enablement and workflow optimization
As Fresno Summit continues to grow, we’re building a network of exceptional contract talent scouts, recruiters, researchers, and operators who can support client work as business needs evolve.
This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, ideal for professionals who enjoy flexible project-based work, agency environments, and helping companies solve complex hiring challenges.
About the Talent Scout Role
As a Talent Scout, you’ll help Fresno Summit identify, engage, and qualify exceptional talent for startups and SMBs across technical, healthcare, operational, GTM, and leadership roles.
Depending on the engagement, you may support:
Talent sourcing and market mapping
Candidate research and outreach strategy
Pipeline development and talent intelligence
Interview coordination and candidate experience
ATS hygiene, recruiting operations, and workflow execution
Competitive talent insights and search strategy
This is not a traditional internal recruiting role. We’re looking for someone who can source exceptional talent, independently lead projects across recruiting, operations, and business development in order to help Fresno Summit scale with excellence.
Who Thrives Here
You may be a strong fit if you:
Love identifying and engaging hard-to-find talent
Are naturally curious, resourceful, and highly organized
Can work independently with minimal oversight
Thrive in fast-moving, high-accountability environments
Balance strong execution with sound judgment
Are genuinely interested in agency life and client service
Want exposure to recruiting, talent operations, and AI-enabled workflows
What to Expect
Contractors in our network will have the opportunity to support:
Candidate sourcing and executive search projects
Embedded recruiting engagements
Talent operations and recruiting infrastructure work
Market intelligence and competitive mapping
AI-enabled recruiting workflows and process optimization
We move fast, hold a high bar, and care deeply about quality, execution, and long-term relationships. If Fresno Summit feels like the right fit, we’d love to learn more about you!
Our team will review your application and reach out if there’s alignment between your experience, interests, and current business needs.
