Full Job Description
Role Overview

We're looking for a Sourcing Team Lead to own and elevate how Reflection finds talent. You'll set the strategy across all active searches, own hands-on sourcing for our hardest roles, and raise the bar on how the team sources and communicates. This is a high-ownership role on a small, fast-moving recruiting team - you'll have real influence over pipeline quality and the systems that drive it. Based in New York City or San Francisco.

What You'll Do
  • Design sourcing strategy across searches - channels, search technique, target companies, and talent pools - with a tiered approach so effort matches priority
  • Own swim lanes across the team, assigning who sources and who runs outreach on each search so no candidate is double-touched and nothing slips
  • Maintain outreach templates and sequences, approve new messaging, and spot-check live outreach for quality and personalization
  • Make prioritization trade-offs visible - decide which searches get capacity, in what order, and at what intensity
  • Define and report on pipeline metrics - volume, response rates, qualified rate, speed to pipeline, channel effectiveness - and use them to coach
  • Own hands-on sourcing for the hardest, most senior searches, modeling the standard for the team
  • Develop the team's craft: search technique, messaging, market research, and tooling; act as a calibrated interviewer for new sourcer hires


What We're Looking For
  • Several years of sourcing or full-cycle recruiting experience, including hard-to-fill or senior roles
  • A track record of building pipelines from scratch - strong search technique and creative, high-converting outreach
  • Experience guiding or coaching other sourcers or recruiters, formally or informally
  • Fluency with sourcing tools, ATS/CRM platforms, and a comfort working from data and metrics
  • Clear communication and strong organization - you keep work coordinated and people aligned without relying on formal authority
  • Quality-first instinct for candidate experience and employer brand
  • Bonus: experience sourcing in AI, building a sourcing function in a high-growth environment, or driving diverse-pipeline strategies
What We Offer:

We believe that to build superintelligence that is truly open, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a small talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the frontier of open foundational models.

We want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported.
  • Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain the best talent globally.
  • Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
  • Life & family: Fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys. Financial support for family planning.
  • Benefits & balance: paid time off when you need it, relocation support, and more perks that optimize your time.
  • Opportunities to connect with teammates: lunch and dinner are provided daily. We have regular off-sites and team celebrations.
