As a Specialized Sourcer, you’ll live at the top of the funnel — hunting exceptional talent for roles in the Sales pod. You’ll report to the Recruiting Manager, but you’ll follow overarching direction and strategy from the Sourcing Coordinator Manager, and you’ll lend support to the Sourcing Operations Specialist to help ensure our pipelines stay active and never go dry.

Your job: build high-quality shortlists fast. You’ll focus on LinkedIn outreach, Boolean searches, and talent mapping. You’ll deliver pre-screened or high-interest candidates to the recruiters in your pod so they can move quickly.

You are not responsible for client communication or full-cycle recruiting. You are the sharpest hunter in the game.

Source Candidates for Assigned Pod

  • Deliver high-quality, pre-screened candidates to recruiters weekly
  • Adjust the search strategy based on feedback from the pod team
  • Maintain close alignment with the vertical-specific hiring bar

Be a LinkedIn Power User

  • Run advanced boolean searches, build talent pipelines, and iterate messaging
  • Send high-volume, targeted outreach via LinkedIn, email, and sourcing tools
  • Track sourcing funnel metrics and iterate on what works

Support Sourcing Ops (Company-Wide)

  • Contribute to re-engagement campaigns, mass outreach, and inbound funnel cleanup
  • Log sourcing activity and data consistently in Ashby and/or ClickUp
  • Coordinate with the Sourcing Manager to share best practices across pods

Partner with Recruiters

  • Sync weekly to understand open roles and search priorities
  • Accept fast feedback and revise sourcing accordingly
  • Escalate spec confusion or sourcing blocks quickly

Who You Are

  • An elite sourcer who lives on LinkedIn and loves the hunt
  • Fast, focused, and iterative—you get better every week
  • Organized and responsive—you support multiple recruiters and stay on top of it
  • Coachable and collaborative—you take feedback and improve without ego

What Good Looks Like

  • You build tight shortlists within days
  • Recruiters say your candidates match the spec and move fast
  • Pod Leads rely on you to unlock stuck roles
  • The Sourcing Manager sees clean funnels and measurable improvement
