The Talent Sourcer works under direct supervision and follows company and department policies and procedures to generate qualified candidate pipelines for assigned requisitions.

Requirements

Education and Experience

• 2+ years of dedicated sourcing experience in a corporate or agency recruiting environment
• Hands-on LinkedIn Recruiter experience plus at least one additional sourcing or talent intelligence platform
• Sourcing experience in ecommerce, marketplace, supply chain, or high-growth technology organizations preferred
• Depth in a specific lane discipline, commercial and brand or technical and operations, preferred
• Experience contributing to a shared search library or sourcing playbook preferred

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Demonstrated Boolean proficiency including nested logic, x-ray search, and platform-specific syntax; candidates should expect a live search exercise as part of the interview process
• Proven ability to write outreach copy that generates measurable reply rates, and willingness to be evaluated on that metric
• Working ATS proficiency and disciplined data entry habits
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to track reply rate, pass-through, and pipeline coverage and adjust approach accordingly
• Excellent written English, including outreach that reads as personal rather than templated
• Ability to work a shift with sufficient overlap to United States business hours to support same-day follow-up on candidate responses
• Demonstrated ability to handle confidential candidate information in accordance with written data protection and security requirements
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small-team environment where wearing multiple hats is essential

Non-Negotiables

• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing platforms (e.g., HireEZ, SeekOut, Noon.ai)
• Sourcing experience in e-commerce, Amazon marketplace, digital advertising, or supply chain and fulfillment functions
• Experience sourcing across multiple functions, levels, and geographies, including offshore talent markets
• Proficiency with ATS platforms (e.g., JazzHR, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS) and contact enrichment tools
• Familiarity with HRIS systems such as Workday or ADP
• Understanding of employment law basics and EEO compliance

Primary Responsibilities

• Through the use of company and department practices and procedures, build the sourcing strategy and channel plan for each assigned requisition
• Construct Boolean search strings and named candidate lists across LinkedIn Recruiter and additional sourcing platforms; this is the central craft of the role and the primary basis of performance evaluation
• Conduct market mapping and talent landscape analysis on stuck requisitions, triggered by SLA breach rather than by escalation
• Maintain and improve the shared Boolean library, contributing reusable search strings by role family
• Write outreach emails and multi-touch campaign sequences tailored to the requisition and the audience
• Execute outreach at volume across InMail, email, and social channels, meeting activity targets set for the assigned requisition load
• Follow up on candidate responses with urgency, recognizing that speed of first reply is the largest lever on outbound conversion
• Track reply rate by sequence and iterate on messaging based on measured performance rather than assumption
• Re-engage silver medalists and prior-requisition pipelines through saved searches and structured campaigns
• Build and nurture passive talent pools for anticipated and recurring roles ahead of requisition approval
• Hand off qualified candidates to the screening stage via ATS stage change with a written summary of fit against the success profile; only candidates the Sourcer would stand behind in an interview are advanced
• Maintain accurate candidate records, source attribution, and stage data so that source-of-hire and cost-per-hire reporting remains reliable
• Participate in weekly calibration with the Talent Acquisition Manager on search quality, outreach craft, and pass-through performance
• Maintain or exceed department-established performance standards, and other duties as assigned
