Core responsibilitiesA virtual research assistant finds, verifies, and organizes the market, prospect, or competitor information your team needs to act.
From your first brief to a Virtual research assistant working in Google Sheets and Excel, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.
Tell us the work to own, from market and competitor research to data gathering, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.
We screen candidates for market and competitor research, data gathering, and practical fluency in Google Sheets and Excel. You review a shortlist with relevant context.
Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.
Best for teams that need verified market, prospect, or competitor insight before making a decision.
Research gets run on a set cadence, instead of squeezed in whenever leadership finds an afternoon to dig into it.
Competitor pricing and positioning get tracked continuously, instead of refreshed once and left stale for a year.
Findings get delivered in a brief, deck or tracker, instead of handed over as a raw spreadsheet someone has to interpret.
One dedicated researcher costs less than a project-based agency study, and stays on your questions week to week.
Your team spends time acting on findings, instead of spending it gathering the findings in the first place.
We screen for candidates who summarize research into a decision, delivered as a brief rather than a raw spreadsheet.
5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.
Bilingual English and Spanish talent from Latin America, strongest in medical and legal.
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/).
"They built the analytics and automation our leadership now runs on, recovered tens of thousands in freight claims and cut manual work by 96%."
"It was very easy working with HireHawk, from looking for viable candidates, the interview process, all the way to implementation of your hire, they handle it all. We are also very happy with our hire. Very easy and seamless process."
"HireHawk filled two senior roles in under two weeks. The candidates were sharper than anything our in-house recruiter surfaced in months."
"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."
"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."
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.
HireHawk is a staffing agency for growing US companies with industry-specialized recruiters. This is one of the seats we fill most: we recruit for it, run 5-Stage Vetting, and either employ the hire on global talent or place them directly on your payroll.
Your assistant can run market sizing, competitive tracking, customer research and general data gathering, whatever your team actually needs answered this week. Tell us your specific focus on the discovery call, and we match you with someone who already knows how to structure that kind of research properly.
Data compilation and secondary research are the core of what your assistant handles day to day. Primary research, like running interviews or original surveys, can be scoped in as an addition to that if your project actually needs it. Ask on the discovery call and we'll scope it properly upfront.
You get findings in whatever format you actually use day to day, a brief, a deck or a live tracker, instead of a generic report dropped in your inbox once a quarter. Your assistant delivers on the schedule you set, so research stays current with the decisions you are actually making.
No. Market research services and outsourced research services both usually mean an agency runs a study and delivers a report on their timeline. This is a hire: one research assistant working inside your team, on your questions, week to week rather than one project at a time.
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.
Yes, if your team already has access, and if not, that is worth discussing on the discovery call too. Name your tools, SEMrush, Similarweb or others, and we match you with an assistant who already knows how to pull the specific insights you actually care about from them.
Tell us your research focus and your tools. We'll put a vetted research assistant on it.
