Job description

Beacon Software is a permanent capital holding company which acquires and grows essential businesses. We are a profitable series B+ firm that combines great technologists, operators and M&A professionals to accelerate the scale of the ambition of the dozens of businesses we own and operate. We are supported by capital from tier-1 venture capital, crossover, and endowment investors as well as the founders of the leading technology companies from the past decade.

We are growing our team in Toronto, San Francisco, and New York. Apply below.

About the Role

Beacon Software acquires and grows vertical market software companies across North America. We move fast, run lean, and hold our teams to a high bar. We"re looking for a Technical Sourcer who thrives on the hunt — someone who can build deep, high-quality pipelines of engineering and product talent before a req even opens, and who brings both craft and creativity to outreach.

This role sits at the top of the funnel and owns it completely. You will partner closely with our recruiters and hiring managers to translate role profiles into targeted sourcing strategies, and you will be the reason Beacon's pipelines are never empty.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain proactive talent pipelines for engineering and product roles across Beacon's portfolio, with a focus on Toronto, San Francisco, and New York markets.
• Develop and execute multi-channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, niche communities, referral networks, and AI-assisted tools.
• Write sharp, personalized outreach that earns replies from passive candidates who aren't looking, and represents Beacon well in every touchpoint.
• Partner with the recruiting team on role calibration: understanding what "good" looks like for each search and filtering accordingly before names hit the recruiter’s desk.
• Track sourcing metrics and iterate including open rates, response rates, pipeline conversion - and use the data to sharpen your approach.
• Maintain clean, accurate candidate records in Ashby and ensure pipeline visibility across active searches.
• Stay current on the competitive landscape: who's hiring, who's laying off, where senior engineers are moving, and what messaging is cutting through the noise.

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of experience in technical sourcing or recruiting, with a clear focus on engineering talent.
• Hands‑on proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter; experience with AI sourcing tools, familiarity with GitHub, advanced Boolean search knowledge, and sourcing across communities and forums.
• Comfort engaging technical candidates: you don't need to be an engineer, but you can hold a credible conversation pitching Beacon roles, get candidates excited, and have strong intuition for what “good to great” is.
• Strong written communication; your outreach is specific, human, and doesn't read like a template.
• Detail-oriented and self-directed; you manage your own pipeline hygiene, flag blockers early, and don't need hand-holding to stay organized.
• Familiarity with ATS or sourcing platforms; a mix of Ashby, Greenhouse, Gem and JuiceBox preferred.
• Bachelor's degree required.

Bonus Points

• Experience sourcing Product Managers in addition to engineering talent.
• Agency background — you know how to move fast and deliver volume without sacrificing quality.
• A developing network in the Toronto, SF, or NYC tech ecosystems.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate sourcing workflows (research, personalization, pipeline mapping).
