2️⃣Identify graduate students, PhD scholars, and research assistants who match your skill requirements.

3️⃣Cross-reference their profiles on LinkedIn, Google Scholar, or GitHub.

4️⃣Build relationships early — these candidates are future industry experts.


💡 Pro Tip: Candidates sourced from labs tend to be deeply specialized, highly motivated, and innovation-focused.
