About Me

Helping businesses find the right people and the right prospects

I’m Usman Rafique, the founder of Fast Findings. I help businesses grow by delivering two things every company needs: the right talent and the right prospects.

My work sits where recruiting, research and AI meet. I combine proven sourcing methods with modern AI-assisted research to deliver results that are accurate, verified and built around each client’s goals, whether that’s a shortlist of engineers, a list of decision-makers or a fully managed outreach campaign.

I have hired and sourced talent for startups and established companies across the USA, Europe and Australia, using tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, Apollo, Crunchbase and GPT-powered workflows. What clients value most is simple: clear communication, fast turnaround and quality they can rely on.
