About The Position

A boutique executive search firm specializing in technical hiring for venture-backed startups is looking for a Technical Sourcer to own deep candidate research and deliver high-signal pipelines for Engineering, Product, and Design roles exclusively within the US market. The firm operates at low volume and high depth — running a small number of concurrent searches with the precision and rigor of executive search, not high-volume staffing. Clients are venture-backed companies from Seed through Series D across AI/ML, SaaS, and Fintech, and the bar for candidate quality reflects what US-based CTOs and hiring managers expect from onshore technical talent. This is a dedicated sourcing role with no full-cycle recruiting responsibilities. Day-to-day work involves building structured talent maps, conducting deep-dive company and candidate research, identifying passive candidates through advanced Boolean search, and maintaining organized pipeline data. Success means consistently surfacing candidates that align tightly with role criteria — right domain, right level, right trajectory — with minimal misses per submission.

Requirements

• 5+ years of sourcing experience with a track record of low-volume, high-depth searches (fewer concurrent reqs, deeper per-search research investment)
• Demonstrated experience sourcing US-based candidates for US-based companies
• Advanced proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter including Boolean construction, filter logic, and passive candidate identification
• Experience building talent maps or conducting structured market intelligence research (org analysis, headcount tracking, competitor mapping)
• Verifiable sourcing outcomes on CV: closure rates, search turnaround, promotion to #1 sourcer, or recognition for troubleshooting underperforming searches
• Willingness to operate exclusively in a sourcing capacity — no candidate management, no full-cycle ownership, no client-facing responsibilities
• B2+ English (CEFR) for internal written communication and pipeline documentation

Nice To Haves

• Background at a boutique executive search or dedicated research firm (5–50 person shop with a structured deep-research methodology)
• Prior experience as a software engineer, developer, or technical practitioner before transitioning into sourcing
• Familiarity with GitHub, Google Scholar, or patent databases for locating technical candidates outside of LinkedIn
• Experience using Crunchbase, PitchBook, or AngelList/Wellfound for startup research and hiring signal identification
• Exposure to venture-backed startup ecosystems — specifically Seed through Series D hiring within SaaS, Fintech, or AI/ML

Responsibilities

• Building structured talent maps
• Conducting deep-dive company and candidate research
• Identifying passive candidates through advanced Boolean search
• Maintaining organized pipeline data

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills
• Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere
• Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting
• Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy
• Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees

• Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth
• Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide
