Job description

DESCRIPTION

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth — and that starts with finding the right people. As a Sourcing Recruiter, you'll be on the front lines of talent discovery, identifying and engaging top engineering talent in some of the most competitive and niche markets in the industry.
In this role, you'll build and execute sourcing strategies, develop candidate pipelines, and partner closely with Recruiting Business Partners and hiring managers to understand what great talent looks like for each search. You'll own the top of the funnel — from market research and candidate identification to outreach and initial engagement — and play a critical role in delivering qualified, diverse slates against tight timelines.
We're looking for someone who is resourceful, curious, and relentless about finding people who don't show up in a keyword search. You should be comfortable using data to refine your approach, experimenting with new sourcing channels, and building relationships with passive candidates who aren't actively looking. Strong communication skills, a bias for action, and the ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously are essential.

Conduct initial candidate outreach and interest assessments to qualify engagement-level fit before passing candidates to recruiters.
Contribute to sourcing experiments and pilot programs aimed at cracking new passive talent channels for hard-to-reach networking engineers.
