- Run outbound outreach campaigns that convert passive candidates into engaged pipeline, iterating on messaging based on response data
- Maintain clean, organized pipelines in Ashby, tracking sourcing metrics and funnel conversion to inform strategy
- Stay ahead of market trends, compensation benchmarks, and competitor talent movement
Required background: 5+ years of sourcing experience with meaningful time at a high-growth startup. Demonstrated ability to source across technical (engineering), product, and business/ops roles. Strong command of boolean search logic and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Ashby or similar ATS). Track record of building pipeline for hard-to-fill or niche roles.
Bonus qualifications include experience sourcing in AI/ML or data-focused companies, familiarity with market mapping and competitive talent intelligence, and experience partnering directly with C-level or senior hiring managers.
Compensation: $140K - $170K annually. Benefits include unlimited PTO, comprehensive health/dental/vision coverage, FSA & HSA access, 401k, meals 2x daily via DoorDash, and unlimited company-sponsored Barry's classes.
