Your reps should be selling, not scraping LinkedIn.

Watch your account executives for a day. Hours go to finding contacts, guessing email formats, checking whether a prospect still works at the company and pasting data into the CRM. That is expensive time spent on work that does not need a closer. And lists built in a rush bounce, miss the real decision maker and wear down your sending domain's reputation.

When you hire a lead generation specialist through RevHires, research becomes a dedicated function instead of a side task. Your specialist is trained on your ideal customer profile, disqualifiers and data standards through SOP Voice Cloning before day one. A pod lead audits list quality daily, so your reps get verified, enriched leads they can work the moment they log in.

The role

What does a Lead Generation Specialist do?

A lead generation specialist, sometimes called a lead researcher, prospect researcher or list building specialist, finds and qualifies the companies and contacts your sales team should pursue. They translate your ideal customer profile into search criteria, build targeted lists in tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo and ZoomInfo, verify contact data and load clean records into your CRM. On some teams the role also runs first-touch email or LinkedIn outreach. It sits upstream of SDRs and appointment setters, feeding them pipeline ready to work.

ICP-based list building

Turns your ideal customer profile into concrete filters: industry, headcount, revenue band, tech stack, geography and job titles. Builds account and contact lists in Sales Navigator, Apollo or ZoomInfo, and excludes current customers, open opportunities and anyone on your do-not-contact list.

Contact verification

Validates email addresses with tools like NeverBounce or ZeroBounce, confirms the contact still holds the role, and checks direct dials where available. Verified lists protect your sending domain from bounces and keep your reps from wasting dials on people who left two years ago.

Account research

Researches target accounts for buying signals such as recent funding, new leadership, hiring sprees, expansion news or tech stack changes. Adds short notes to each record, so your SDRs and account executives open every conversation with a relevant, timely reason to talk.

CRM enrichment

Fills missing fields on existing leads and accounts in HubSpot or Salesforce: titles, company size, industry, LinkedIn URLs and phone numbers. Merges duplicates and assigns records by your territory rules, so routing works and your reports reflect the real state of the pipeline.

Outreach sequence support

Loads verified contacts into sequences in Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo or Instantly, personalizes first lines from research notes, and monitors replies. Routes interested responses to the right rep fast, and marks bounces, unsubscribes and out of office replies correctly so sequences stay clean.

LinkedIn prospecting

Sends connection requests and follow-up messages from approved templates on behalf of your reps or founders, within LinkedIn's usage limits. Tracks acceptances and replies, then hands warm conversations to your sales team with context on what was said and what the prospect asked.

Inbound lead qualification

Reviews inbound form fills and demo requests against your qualification criteria, enriches them with firmographic data and routes qualified leads to sales within your target window. On RevHires sales plans, speed to lead runs under five minutes, so interest does not cool.

Pipeline source reporting

Tracks list volume, verification rates, reply rates and meetings sourced by segment, then reports weekly on which industries, titles and signals produce results. Your team learns where to focus next quarter instead of guessing which lists deserve another campaign.

How we screen for this role

Lead generation candidates receive a sample ICP and 90 minutes to build a 50-contact list using Sales Navigator and a data tool. We grade it on fit, title accuracy, email verification and how many disqualified accounts slipped through. They then research three target accounts and write a buying-signal note and personalized first line for each. A Boolean search exercise and a CRM enrichment task round out the assessment, followed by a live English interview.

Cost

US hire vs RevHires: the real monthly cost

The US benchmark is Indeed's national average base pay for lead generation specialists, $20.48 per hour, which works out to about $3,550 a month, plus a 30% load for payroll taxes and benefits. It excludes commissions, bonuses and recruiting, and many US roles add variable pay on top. Through RevHires, a full-time hire in this role typically earns $6 to $15 per hour. The RevHires figure uses the top of that range, $15 per hour at 40 hours, paid direct to your hire or through RevHires, plus one flat placement fee. Want the team managed for you?

What is the difference between a lead generation specialist and an SDR?

A lead generation specialist builds and qualifies the pipeline: researching accounts, verifying contacts, enriching your CRM and often running first-touch sequences. An SDR works that pipeline live, calling and emailing prospects to book meetings. Many teams start with a lead generation specialist to feed existing reps, then add SDRs once list quality and volume are consistent.

How fast can I hire a lead generation specialist?

Seven days. Day 1 is discovery on your ICP, territories and tools. Days 2 to 3 are SOP Voice Cloning on your disqualifiers and data standards. Days 4 to 5 are scenario training on real list builds, Day 6 is QA calibration where you review a sample list, and on Day 7 your specialist is live.

Can a remote specialist really understand US buyers?

Yes. Our specialists are college-educated with near-native English, and many come from enterprise environments at companies like Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft and Vodafone. During training they learn your market, competitors and buyer titles, and their research notes are reviewed daily, so their judgment on account fit quickly lines up with yours.

Will outsourced lead generation hurt our email deliverability?

Done properly, it protects it. Your specialist verifies every email before it enters a sequence, removes bounces and unsubscribes, and follows the sending limits and templates you approve. Deliverability problems usually come from unverified lists and careless volume, which is exactly what daily QA on list quality is designed to prevent.

How do you handle our CRM access and prospect data?

Every engagement includes a signed NDA and our data handling protocols. Your specialist works in your CRM and data tools under a user account you control, with permissions limited to the job, and you can revoke access at any time. Lists, research notes and enrichment stay inside your own systems.

What if the leads are not good enough?

Tell your pod lead and share examples. We tighten the ICP filters and disqualifiers, retrain your specialist on the gaps and track quality on the daily scorecard. If the fit is wrong, we replace the specialist at no extra staffing charge, and the replacement starts with your documented standards. Plans are month to month, so you are never locked in.
