@psen102 Hey Paul, I’m building a recruiting agency connecting software engineers in the Middle East to startups in the US. I also work a 9-5

@TTrimoreau Hey Thomas, I just started recruiting agency matching founders with software engineers from the Middle East (focusing on Egypt for now). Just followed!

@rayyanfkhan my current outbound machine: outbound sales bot + recruiter bot + pm bot.

outbound finds startups and founders (and drafts emails), recruiter bot matches candidates and send it to me for review.

On routine every morning.

you have to have delusion and unwavering belief in yourself.

it will work out.

day 5 of building my recruiting agency for engineering and design roles:

Set up a system with Grok Bots to be able to generate leads + candidates much faster at a larger scale. This will save me a ton of time.

Used my connections back home to start getting serious candidates who would be great reccomendations.

biggest hurdle right now is getting my foot in the door. I have brilliant talents ready I just need one founder / startup trust it. From there it'll snowball.

[Hamza Shoukry @hamza_shoukry]

Naaahhhh Grok Bot might actually be a cheat code.

[Hamza Shoukry @hamza_shoukry]

bro how long do these verified profile reviews take, I’m trying to change my profile pic

[Hamza Shoukry @hamza_shoukry]

@rayyanfkhan Yeppp. Exactly. I'm starting a recruiting agency pairing startups with software engineers and designers from MENA region (starting with Egypt). The amount of engineering talent there is insane.

[Hamza Shoukry @hamza_shoukry]

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm just finding a business model that works well, doing something a little different.

I want something repeatable and scalable.

[Hamza Shoukry @hamza_shoukry]

I'm on a mission to prove you can grow your company big enough to sustain itself alongside a 9-5.
