This is not a classic sourcing role.
As a Talent Sourcer at A-Players, you’re not “supporting recruiters” or sending generic outreach. You are a strategic researcher and signal-finder who operates in an AI-native way, using modern tools to research, map markets, and identify real A-Players who are rarely actively looking and hard to spot.
You’ll work closely with Talent Partners and clients, dive deep into each role and company context, and own sourcing strategy end-to-end.
What You’ll Own
- Sourcing strategy
- Deeply understand the client’s product, culture, and hiring goals
- Build sourcing hypotheses: where A-Players are likely to be, and why
- Identify non-obvious talent pools, companies, and career patterns
- High-signal candidate identification
- Use LinkedIn, Boolean search, GitHub, referrals, and creative sourcing methods
- Apply the A-Players sourcing framework to assess signal vs noise
- Prioritize quality over volume
- Personalized outreach
- Craft thoughtful, human, highly personalized messages
- Tailor outreach based on a candidate’s background, motivations, and career trajectory
- Continuously iterate messaging based on response quality, not just response rate
- Collaboration with Talent Partners and clients
- Work as a true partner to Talent Partners on each search
- Share insights on candidate motivations, market signals, and role positioning
- Join interviews or client calls when helpful (optional, but encouraged)
- Process & craft improvement
- Contribute to improving our sourcing playbooks, scripts, and tooling
- Share learnings about market shifts, hiring bars, and emerging talent hubs
- Bring ideas on how sourcing can create more leverage for the business
Who This Role Is For
You’ll feel at home here if you:
- Have strong sourcing experience in tech (1+ years preferred)
- Enjoy deep research and pattern recognition
- Can spot A-Player signals beyond job titles and keywords
- Write excellent, concise, human outreach in English
- Are self-directed, curious, and allergic to micromanagement
- Care about craft and long-term reputation, not shortcuts
- Work in an AI-native way: you already use AI tools in your daily workflow (research, market mapping, candidate analysis, communication) or actively experiment with them to think faster, go deeper, and make better hiring decisions
Requirements
- Strong written English (Upper-Intermediate or higher)
- Experience with LinkedIn, Boolean search, and modern sourcing tools
- Full-time availability (not a freelance or side role)
