Role OverviewAs a Sourcer at Serval, you'll build and own our talent pipeline strategy from the ground up, spanning both technical and non-technical functions. You'll design and execute creative, high-impact sourcing initiatives that help us scale quickly while maintaining a high talent bar. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on the hunt-combining market expertise, strategic thinking, and creativity to proactively identify and engage top talent before roles are even open.
You'll be a crucial partner across the organization, collaborating closely with hiring managers in engineering, go-to-market, operations, and beyond to deeply understand talent needs and build diverse, high-quality pipelines. We're looking for a builder who's energized by research, relationship-building, and pioneering new ways to find exceptional people.

Understand Hiring Needs: Partner with hiring managers across teams to develop accurate candidate profiles, map relevant talent markets, and prioritize pipeline efforts.
Engage Top Talent: Proactively identify, research, and reach out to passive candidates through LinkedIn, communities, events, referrals, and unconventional channels.

- Technical Aptitude: Familiarity with engineering roles and tech stacks, with the ability to engage credibly with technical candidates and understand what makes them tick.
