You will own the top-of-funnel sourcing strategy for GTM teams, partnering with our recruiting team in a split model.
What You'll Do

- Drive high-volume sourcing for fast-paced Sales and GTM hiring, delivering a consistent flow of qualified, assessed candidates to recruiting partners.
- Direct sourcing excellence: use advanced Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and direct outreach strategies to engage passive talent — particularly from direct competitors.
- Translate vague or shifting hiring needs into structured sourcing strategies, staying ahead in a fluid, rapidly evolving environment.
- Collaborate closely with our Talent Attraction recruiting team — handing off warm, pipeline-ready candidates and proactively applying qualified talent to multiple open opportunities.
- Serve as a talent market expert, tracking competitor hiring trends, compensation benchmarks, and talent availability to inform sourcing strategy and advise recruiting partners.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of recruiting or sourcing experience (agency and/or in-house), with a proven track record supporting Sales or GTM hiring in a high-velocity environment.
- In-Office Availability: ability to work from the local office a minimum of 3 days a week.
- Sourcing Depth: demonstrated expertise sourcing passive candidates through advanced direct-sourcing techniques — Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, talent mapping, and competitive intelligence.
- Agility & Resilience: proven ability to adapt to shifting priorities and thrive in a highly fluid, ambiguous environment.
- Outreach Craft: strong ability to write compelling, personalized outreach that converts passive candidates into active conversations — including cold calling and phone-based relationship building.
- Market Knowledge: familiarity with technology/SaaS markets and the ability to articulate the Agentic Enterprise value proposition to passive candidates.
- Execution: ability to manage a high volume of sourcing workstreams simultaneously and deliver pipeline on deadline.
- Tools: proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, Workday ATS, Slack, GoodTime, and Google preferred.
Nice to Have
