Start: as soon as possible
Duration: 1 month, renewable
Location: on-site, Le Peletier office, Paris 9th, 5 days a week
Status: freelance
Pay: around €5,000 excl. VAT per month at target (daily rate of €175 excl. VAT + monthly variable: €50 per sourced candidate reaching the final interview, €500 per sourced hire)
Your Mission
Zefir is hiring across Sales, Engineering, Product and Ops, and the Talent team is the engine behind it. We are looking for a freelance SDR to join the team, learn sourcing from our Founding Talent Lead, and run our AI recruiting workflows every day.
Think outbound prospecting, except your leads are candidates.
What You'll Do
Build and improve our AI recruiting workflows | About 30% of your time
Help shape how Zefir uses AI to find, assess and engage talent. Work with our Talent Lead to turn ideas into working automations, test them on real recruiting needs, and improve them through daily use.
Build and experiment. Create and adapt workflows for candidate sourcing, scoring, outreach and recruiting dashboards.
Test, learn, iterate. Try different prompts and approaches, review the results, and refine what works.
Bring your recruiting judgment. Check AI recommendations against real candidate profiles and use what you learn to improve the next batch.
Make the system better every day. Debug issues, remove repetitive steps, and spot opportunities to automate more of the groundwork.
Source candidates for our open roles | About 70% of your time
Source profiles for open roles from the scorecard and the hiring manager brief.
Expand the pool: past Ashby candidates, LinkedIn Recruiter, target companies.
Add qualified leads to Ashby with a one-line rationale and prepare outreach drafts in Zefir's voice.
What You Bring
A junior profile with a sharp, structured mind: you learn fast.
A strong general education. No hard skills required.
A first experience as an SDR or BDR (ideally in a B2B startup) is a plus. We are not looking for a cold-calling specialist, but for someone who can run written outbound at volume: LinkedIn and email sequences, follow-ups, a clean CRM.
No recruiting experience needed: our Talent Lead trains you on sourcing during your first weeks.
You are comfortable with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, n8n…).
You are rigorous with data, and you look for the cause of an error before escalating.
Strong writing in French, working English.
Freelance status, or ready to set one up.
