Contract-to-Hire: this is a contract-to-hire role reporting directly to the CEO, with a clear path to full-time if it’s a mutual fit.
About The Job Sauce
We were founded as a career coaching company and became a recruiting agency reluctantly. We’re the anti-agency agency, where integrity and candidate experience matter more than accounts receivable. We’ve built a boutique recruiting firm trusted by startups, scaleups, and investors to find top talent, and our results speak for themselves—we fill nearly 90% of our roles, 4x the industry average. We’ve earned our reputation by delivering quality, fast. G2 page here.
About the Role
We’re scaling and need an experienced, like-minded Sourcer who sniffs out top talent with relentless precision, thinks strategically, and crafts human outreach that resonates. If that sounds like you and you’re high-initiative, deeply curious, and technically sharp, we’d love to discuss a contract-to-hire test run. You’ll decode client needs, bend LinkedIn Recruiter to your will, and craft messages candidates can’t ignore.
Responsibilities include:
-
Leading top-of-funnel search strategy across 5–10 varied non-technical roles at a time
-
Uncovering clients’ requirements and translating criteria into candidate personas and search queries
-
Hypothesizing and testing your Boolean searches in an organized and methodical way
-
Using tools like ChatGPT and Crunchbase to expand your keywords, shorten learning curves, and identify target companies
-
Writing outreach that cuts through the noise and compels action (we love a good InMail template that sounds unique to the candidate)
-
Managing the pipeline: triage roles (garbage in = garbage out), set pace, and reprioritize in real time
-
Acting as an advisor on intake calls: ask valuable questions, surface blind spots, and leave clients feeling like we’ve tapped into their brain
-
Setting up new roles in Ashby, our ATS
You Might Be a Fit If You:
-
Have 5+ years of experience in a high-growth recruiting environment (agency, startup, or scrappy solopreneur land)
-
Can build LinkedIn Recruiter searches with your eyes closed
-
Assess profile fit at the speed of light once you’ve hit your groove
-
Have a credible LinkedIn presence—and maybe even opinions about talent acquisition branding
-
Love sourcing more than screening (but can do both when needed)
-
Get a high from cracking hard searches
-
Have led or mentored others and enjoy thinking at a systems level
-
Can ride the highs and lows of sourcing with a sense of humor and a bias for action
-
Believe every day matters when it comes to closing a role, and operate with appropriate urgency
