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.
