WHO THIS ROLE FITS
US consulting, sales and operations teams
Your team repeatedly needs verified company, market or supplier information but lacks capacity to collect it carefully.
What stays with your team
Your team owns strategic conclusions and permitted-source rules. The role does not imply licensed research advice or access to private information.
THE WORK TO DELEGATE
What you can delegate.
- Find information from permitted sources
- Record source links and dates
- Compare findings against research criteria
- Flag gaps and conflicting evidence
- Prepare concise research summaries
Match your tools and workflow
Specify spreadsheets, research databases and permitted browsing sources. Paid databases need authorized access.
What to include in your brief
Define the research question, inclusion criteria, source standards and expected format.
Include your monthly budget, required US-hours overlap and the person who will review the work.
Scope this role ↗AGREE WHAT GOOD WORK LOOKS LIKE
What you should be able to review.
Use these examples to agree deliverables and review standards for your workflow.
- Research table with source links and dates
- Comparison brief with explicit criteria
- Open-question list separating unknowns from conclusions
Where a person adds value alongside automation
AI can suggest leads or summarize sources. A researcher must verify claims, resolve conflicts and avoid presenting generated text as evidence.
Start with the work your tools leave unresolved. The remaining workload should justify a dedicated full-time hire.

Find the right person.
Suggested assessment: Give a question with conflicting sources. Assess traceability, uncertainty and distinction between fact and inference.
Make the interview useful
Discuss a representative task, ask how the candidate handles uncertainty, and agree what good output looks like. Use sanitized examples rather than live credentials or sensitive customer data.

Start with a manageable scope.
Suggested priorities to agree with your hire, adapted to your systems and expectations.
Start with a bounded assignment: Research table with source links and dates. Review it together before expanding responsibility.
Set a recurring review for comparison brief with explicit criteria. Keep an escalation list for items the hire cannot resolve.
A paid trial, with clear terms
The current offer is a paid one-week trial, credited toward your first month if you continue. Confirm the trial price, scope and continuation terms before starting.
Agree the complete quote
Confirm the role, working hours, extras, payment schedule, notice requirements and replacement arrangements in writing before you commit. A published range is a budget guide, not your final quote.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Before you decide.
Clarify the working arrangement before you commit. If your scope spans several roles, we can help you decide where to start.
Talk through my requirements ↗Is this the same as a lead generation assistant?
Research support can cover suppliers, competitors or operational questions. A lead generation assistant focuses on target-account research, CRM records and approved sales outreach workflows.
How soon can someone start?
Timing depends on skills, seniority, working hours and candidate availability. We confirm the expected shortlist timeline after reviewing your brief.
Who supports the employment and office setup?
Your Remote Staff is operated by Salt Technologies. Staff work from the managed Pune office, with recruitment, standard hardware, IT, HR, payroll, attendance and replacement support. You direct daily work.
