Talent Sourcer VA

A talent sourcer who builds your candidate pipeline before you need it: Boolean and LinkedIn Recruiter search, market mapping, personalised outreach and screening calls. Recruiters and hiring managers get warm, qualified candidates instead of an empty applicant pool.

Responsibilities

  • Translate role briefs into search strategies and run Boolean, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, job board and database searches to find passive candidates.
  • Build market maps and talent pools for recurring and hard-to-fill roles, including competitor teams and adjacent skill sets.
  • Write and send personalised outreach sequences by InMail, email and phone and track response rates by message and channel.
  • Run initial screening calls to confirm interest, availability, salary expectations and fit before handing candidates to the recruiter.
  • Keep the ATS and CRM (for example Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn or Gem) updated with sourced candidates, notes and engagement history.
  • Enrich contact data using tools such as Lusha, Apollo, ContactOut or SeekOut, respecting privacy rules.
  • Report weekly on candidates sourced, response rates, screens completed and conversion to interview.
  • Test and refine sourcing channels and messaging based on results.
  • Share market intelligence with recruiters and hiring managers, including salary ranges, talent supply and competitor hiring.
