That’s why we’re building a Talent team that sees recruiting as a craft and a competitive advantage, people who challenge assumptions, move with urgency, and are energized by building exceptional teams to solve incredibly hard problems. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you."

– Alicia Strait, VP of Talent, TRM Labs

As TRM expands across APAC and other global markets, our ability to hire the right sellers, compliance experts, and go‑to‑market talent in‑region determines how fast our blockchain intelligence reaches the institutions and agencies fighting illicit finance worldwide. As an Sales Recruiting Sourcer, you will be critical in identifying, engaging, and attracting exceptional GTM talent for highly specialized and nuanced roles. You will develop and execute sourcing strategies that resonate with our company’s values, prioritize candidate experience, and meet ambitious goals for hiring velocity. This role is ideal for a sourcer with a passion for innovative sourcing strategies, a knack for data‑driven insights, and the ability to build strong relationships.

Your success is measured by the quality, velocity, and business impact of the hires you make across TRM's international business functions.

The impact you'll have:

• Own sourcing for international roles across Sales, Post‑Sales, Compliance, Marketing, and other functions.

• Develop and implement strategic sourcing initiatives specifically tailored for GTM roles. This includes creating and refining outreach programs to engage top talent aligned with TRM Labs' leadership principles.

• Conduct a high volume of targeted outreach to potential candidates weekly, maintaining a conversion rate of 20%+ on responses. This involves crafting meaningful, personalized messages to effectively engage passive candidates and nurture a robust pipeline.

• Collaborate closely with hiring managers and the talent team, providing data‑driven insights and updates on sourcing progress and market trends. This partnership role is crucial in shaping search strategies and ensuring alignment with TRM Labs' hiring objectives.

• Rapidly onboard to new positions, demonstrating resilience and agility in understanding each position’s specific requirements and nuances. This includes proactively going the extra mile to master role‑specific terminology, skills, and team needs to deliver immediate sourcing impact.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of sourcing experience specifically for senior sales and GTM talent

• Proven experience in sourcing hard‑to‑find positions, with expertise in using sourcing tools, conducting market research, and developing personalized outreach strategies.

• Ability to analyze and interpret sourcing metrics, conversion rates, and market data, using these insights to refine sourcing strategies and provide actionable feedback to hiring managers.

• Strong persistence and a results‑oriented mindset to handle challenges, follow up on passive leads, and meet ambitious outreach targets.

• The ability to quickly understand complex business roles across GTM, compliance, marketing, and operations.

• Exceptional stakeholder management that includes building trust, influencing hiring managers, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for stakeholders.

• High ownership, autonomy, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, specialized, business‑critical searches.

• The ability to operate effectively in a remote, globally distributed environment with strong overlap across APAC and U.S. business hours.

About the team:

• Our talent team is fully remote and async‑first. We keep work moving across time zones through Slack, thorough documentation, and proactive updates.

• We stay tightly aligned through weekly hiring syncs, team sourcing syncs, and bi‑weekly team meetings where we solve challenges together.

• We care deeply about our craft: we continuously refine best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for candidates and internal stakeholders alike, backed by precise, reliable reporting.

• We're globally distributed but most of us overlap between 7am–12pm PST for real‑time collaboration.

• Every team member, wherever they're based, maintains at least a 4‑hour overlap with PST business hours.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

• Within 72 hours of receiving a position, you attend the intake meeting prepared with a Total Addressable Market (TAM) overview and 5-10 sample profiles to review with the hiring team.

• Within 48 hours of receiving initial candidate feedback, you refine search criteria based on the hiring team’s insights, then, within 24 hours, create A/B outreach messaging to engage targeted profiles and aim to source 100 candidates within the first week.

• While sourcing externally, you identify 5 team members at TRM with relevant networks, proactively reaching out via Slack to schedule a "sourcing jam" with the recruiter to explore potential referrals.

• Two weeks after the initial outreach, you analyze sourcing data to identify what is and isn’t driving conversions. You share your insights and recommendations with the hiring team to refine and optimize the outreach strategy, and you continue to monitor and adjust the approach until the position is filled.

Our Onboarding Process:

• Within your first 30 days, you’ll be fully onboarded, calibrated, and operating as the DRI for your positions.

• Within your first 60 days, you’ll have your first sourced candidates reaching final rounds.

• Within your first 90 days, you’ll have made 2–3 hires.

The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem‑solving.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.

• Accelerate repeatable workflows

• Structure and solve problems

• Improve output quality

• Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
