Job description

About Inspira Education

Inspira Education Group is one of the fastest-growing edtech startups in the US. We started with a simple mission to democratize access to high-quality coaching so that every student in the world has an equal opportunity to access the best opportunities.

As the world’s leading network of top admissions coaches in medical, legal, business, and college studies, we’re building software and services in one place—disrupting long-entrenched application processes with products and experiences that strive to provide an equal platform for candidates from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

As one of the fastest-growing edtech firms in the world, we are backed by leading venture capital firms including Zeev Ventures, Quiet Capital, Craft Ventures, Jeff Fluhr (Founder of Stubhub), and David Sacks (Former COO of PayPal and Founder of Yammer).

The Role

We’re looking for an energetic, entrepreneurial, and creative Talent Sourcer to help us identify, engage, and pipeline top candidates across our corporate teams (marketing, sales, operations, and more).

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has a keen eye for spotting great talent, and knows how to get creative when traditional sourcing channels fall short. As a key partner to our recruiters and hiring managers, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring we consistently attract and engage high-quality candidates for our most business-critical roles.

This role will be hybrid in NYC (Union Square/Midtown East Area) — with the requirement of in‑office attendance 4 days a week.

Why This Role is Unique

• You’ll own the top of the funnel and have a direct impact on how we build strong, diverse pipelines for some of our most specialized and hard-to-fill roles
• You’ll get creative with your approach by blending traditional channels like LinkedIn and referrals with unconventional ones such as niche communities, university networks, and emerging platforms
• You’ll partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers, giving you a front‑row seat to how business‑critical hiring decisions are made
• As the company scales, this role grows with you, offering the chance to take on greater ownership, shape sourcing strategy, and expand your influence within the recruiting function

What You'll Do

• Partner with founders and hiring leaders to define role requirements and craft Ideal Candidate Profiles (ICPs) for each search
• Build and maintain qualified pipelines for both full‑time internal hires and specialized part‑time roles
• Supplement offshore sourcing support with targeted manual search and outreach on LinkedIn and other platforms
• Craft and send personalized outreach messages and follow‑up sequences to drive candidate engagement and increase response rates
• Experiment with creative sourcing strategies to reach talent beyond traditional channels
• Ensure candidate profiles are accurately maintained in Greenhouse, with consistent tagging, notes, and source attribution
• Conduct initial candidate screens as needed to assess fit and maintain pipeline momentum
• Track and report on sourcing activity, including response rates, conversion metrics, and overall pipeline health
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to stay aligned on hiring priorities and deliver a seamless, positive candidate experience

Who You Are

• 2+ years of sourcing experience (talent acquisition or sales), ideally in a high‑growth company
• Demonstrated success sourcing across multiple functions, with a focus on corporate/business roles and niche or hard‑to‑find talent
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator, plus familiarity with other sourcing tools (Gem, social media, referrals, etc.)
• Comfortable working within an ATS (we use Greenhouse) and/or CRM (we use HubSpot)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when crafting clear and compelling outreach
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple searches and pipelines simultaneously
• Creative, persistent, and proactive in experimenting with new ways to engage talent
• Bonus: Experience sourcing in education, edtech, or academic markets

What we look for

• A genuine passion for connecting with talent and telling compelling stories about our company and roles
• Curiosity and creativity to explore sourcing strategies beyond traditional channels
• Grit, persistence, and follow-through when tackling hard‑to‑fill searches
• A team‑first mindset with strong collaboration and communication skills
• A growth mindset and enthusiasm for evolving alongside a fast‑scaling company

The targeted pay for this role is: $120K–130K, made up of an $100K base salary plus annual bonus. Actual salary and bonus is dependent upon several factors, including the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as geographic location. The pay ratio between base pay and target incentive will be finalized at the offer. The pay range is subject to the discretion of the Company.

Why you'll love Inspira

• Amazing people with a great vision and values
• Ability to work directly with co‑founders and drive impact super quickly
• Your work directly impacts the lives and careers of students across the globe
• 100% coverage of health, vision, and dental benefits
• Flexible Paid‑time Off
• Learning and Development Budget
• Retirement Savings Plans – 401k with matching
• Diversity and inclusion programs that promote employee resource groups like OWN (Outreach Women’s Network), AAPI, Rainbow (LGBTQIA+), Gender+, LatinX, Black Excellence, Disability Community, and Veterans
• Note: certain benefits are not provided to 1099 contract worker
