Three steps

Hire a Lead generation specialist in 3 steps

From your first brief to a Lead generation specialist working in Apollo and Salesforce, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.

Scope the Lead generation specialist role

Tell us the work to own, from lead generation research and list building to outreach, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.

Review vetted Lead generation specialist candidates

We screen candidates for lead generation research and list building, outreach, and practical fluency in Apollo and Salesforce. You review a shortlist with relevant context.

Hire and onboard your Lead generation specialist

Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.

What changes for your team

Best for sales teams that need a consistent flow of researched, qualified conversations for their closers.

More pipeline generated consistently

Lists get built and worked on a weekly cadence, instead of whenever a closer finds time between calls.

Cleaner CRM data

Records get de-duplicated and kept current continuously, instead of cleaned up once a quarter before a board update.

Faster lead response times

Inbound and warm leads get worked inside your response window, instead of sitting until someone has a free hour.

Lower cost than an in-house SDR function

One dedicated specialist costs less than the salary, tools and management overhead a junior SDR team adds up to.

More closer time spent selling

Your closers spend their hours in meetings that are already qualified, instead of building lists between calls.

Why teams choose HireHawk for this role

Pipeline you can measure

Meetings booked and pipeline generated, reported weekly. Not activity metrics dressed up as results.

Vetted before you meet them

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.

Bilingual where it matters

Bilingual English and Spanish talent from Latin America, strongest in medical and legal.

Two ways to hire

Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).

"Her scope grew within months and our leadership asked to meet her in person. We came back to HireHawk to expand the rest of the team."

Anthony Director of Operations

"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."

Mikayel Revenue Cycle Manager

One partner, wherever your next hire lives.

The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring for this role

How is this different from an appointment setter?

Your lead generation specialist builds and works the list from scratch: research, outreach and qualification, all before a lead is ready to book. An appointment setter takes it from there and focuses on converting that warm interest into booked meetings. Many teams staff both, and HireHawk places the appointment setter role separately.

What tools do you work in?

Your specialist already works in Salesforce, HubSpot, Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, the tools most sales teams already run on. Tell us your specific stack on the discovery call and we screen for direct, hands-on experience in it, instead of general familiarity with sales software.

How do you measure success?

We report pipeline generated and meetings booked every week, with the source attached so you can see exactly where each one came from. You are not paying for call counts or emails sent, because activity alone does not tell you whether the pipeline is actually real.

Is b2b lead generation services the same as lead generation outsourcing?

Yes, both describe the same work: researching accounts and running outreach for a business audience instead of consumers. You get it staffed as one dedicated specialist on your team, working your list and your criteria, rather than billed as an agency retainer split across other clients' pipelines too.

How fast can a specialist start?

You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.

Will they write our outreach copy?

Yes. Your specialist matches your voice from writing samples and messaging you provide on the discovery call, so the first draft already sounds like your team wrote it. You review and approve every sequence before it goes out, so nothing reaches a prospect without your sign-off first.
