This is a highly research-driven sourcing role for someone who genuinely enjoys digging into technical talent markets, developing creative sourcing strategies, and using data to understand what is—or isn’t—working.

• Track pipeline health, outreach performance, response rates, and conversion metrics
\n
• Use recruiting data and market intelligence to identify when sourcing strategies, messaging, compensation, or candidate profiles may need to be adjusted
\n
• Conduct initial candidate qualification before handing candidates off to recruiting partners
