Executive Sourcer

Job Description

As a Senior Talent Researcher / Executive Sourcer (P3–P4), you will be responsible for owning the complete top-of-the-funnel recruitment cycle, acting as a strategic talent advisor and market intelligence partner to recruiters and hiring managers across the business.

• Compile and deliver detailed sourcing documentation (spreadsheets, narratives, and insights) explaining candidate targeting strategy and rationale

• Manage multiple concurrent sourcing requests while maintaining high accuracy, accountability, and responsiveness
