Full Job Description
Technical Recruiter/Sourcing Specialist
Someone who has done only Technical Recruitment for Big brand companies.
As a Technical Sourcer you will join our team and be tasked with enhancing our organization's ability to profile, isolate, attract, assess, and convert highly-talented, elusive, and experienced software engineers and engineering leaders into "qualified candidates". You will partner with recruiting business partners and leaders in our client groups by performing strategic research and data-driven sourcing activities leading to senior-level talent. You will act as a subject matter expert in prospecting techniques and tools used for information retrieval, data extraction, web-scraping, continuous process improvement, process automation, and customer relationship management. You will also be required to develop a broad and deep knowledge of the technologies currently in use by our client teams.
Basic Qualifications:
2+ years attracting the best software engineering talent from leading, progressive tech companies.
A demonstrable expertise in ad-hoc, complex web search string generation (i.e., optimized use of search engine-specific Boolean operators across all leading web data, social, and search platforms). Proficiency with traditional web sourcing techniques is assumed (e.g., site x-ray searching, flip searching, location specific searching, targeted community searching, etc.).
Knowledge of social network platforms, online communities, conferences, and other potential sourcing pools used to isolate senior-level technical talent (e.g., github, Stack Overflow, Entelo, Top Coder, etc.).
A broad understanding of the standards and trends in software engineering across a variety of domains (e.g., distributed systems, mobile engineering, front-end web engineering, databases, etc.).
Endless tenacity and persistence. This is NOT a pure research role. All best practices will be put into actual real-world use by the Technical Sourcer and results (i.e., prospects hired) will be measured against predefined metrics targets.
The ability to create a strong, collegial, and supportive partnership with other sourcers, recruiting business partners, our client teams, and the greater technology community from which we will derive our pipeline for future engineering talent.
Excellent time and project management is a must. This role will be exciting, challenging, and multifaceted. To be effective, this individual must have a proven ability to be highly effective in managing his/her time and ongoing project deliverables.
