About The Position

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.

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)

Nice To Haves

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
