Skills
About the Role
You'll focus exclusively on identifying, engaging, and attracting outstanding technical talent globally. You'll be supported by a well-developed recruiting operation and experienced hiring partners, and you'll treat sourcing as a specialist craft rather than a coordination role or a volume game. You'll bring judgment, signal detection, and thoughtful outreach to the work, with autonomy, context, and high expectations. This engagement begins as a contract, with the potential to transition to full-time based on results and impact.
Requirements
- You've successfully sourced technical talent for organizations known for strong hiring standards, where candidate quality mattered more than pipeline size
- You know how to identify real technical talent signals beyond resumes, keywords, or brand-name employers
- You understand where strong technical candidates actually spend time - communities, open-source ecosystems, technical forums, events, niche networks - not just traditional platforms
- You're comfortable owning results without needing close day-to-day direction
- You balance strategy and execution: designing sourcing approaches while also doing the hands-on work
- You're a strong written communicator who can engage senior technical candidates in a way that feels informed and credible
- You're results-oriented with strong personal accountability
- You're comfortable working asynchronously in a globally distributed environment
- Familiarity with sourcing/recruiting tooling such as Gem, Lever, or similar platforms is a bonus
Responsibilities
- Identify and engage exceptional passive technical candidates globally using thoughtful, multi-channel sourcing approaches
- Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines with a clear emphasis on quality over volume
- Partner closely with hiring leaders to understand what strong talent actually looks like in context, not just on paper
- Craft outreach that is specific, credible, and worth responding to
- Use data, candidate feedback, and conversion patterns to refine sourcing approaches over time
- Operate largely independently while maintaining awareness of overlapping sourcing efforts
Benefits
- Equity
- Fully employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance (with 75% coverage for dependents)
- 401(k) with employer match available after the first 30 days
- Flexible and unlimited paid time off including sick time
- Asynchronous, remote-first environment
