The RoleBobyard just doubled the team and we're doing it again.
Most sourcers send volume. You won't. You'll build systems that surface the right engineers, designers, and operators - people who are exceptional but not broadcasting it - and get them into conversations before they're actively looking.
This role is ideal for someone who treats sourcing as applied research - not spray-and-pray outreach.
What You'll Do- Own top-of-funnel. Build and manage candidate pipelines for technical roles: engineers, product, design, go-to-market. Define what "qualified" means before a single message goes out.
- Source proactively. GitHub, LinkedIn, research corpora, niche communities, referral networks. Find people who aren't on the market yet.
- Write outreach that converts. Craft messaging that is precise, respectful, and relevant. No generic templates. Every message earns a reply or teaches you something.
- Build the research layer. Compile structured candidate profiles - background, signal, fit hypothesis - so the hiring team can move fast with context.
- Instrument the funnel. Track source quality, response rates, and pipeline health. Surface what's working and kill what isn't.
- Partner with the Talent Engineer. Feed signal into automation workflows. Help identify where manual work can be systematized without losing quality.
- Represent Bobyard well. Every candidate touchpoint is a brand moment. You're often the first impression of who we are and why this company matters.
Desired experience - 2-4 years of sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally for technical roles at an early-stage startup
- Skilled at reading a resume, a GitHub profile, or a LinkedIn and quickly forming a fit hypothesis
- Strong writer - your outreach gets replies because it's thoughtful, not because it's volume
- Comfortable operating without a full playbook. You figure it out, then document it
- Data-literate: you track your pipeline, know your conversion rates, and use that to improve
- Familiar with ATS tools (Ashby preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter
- Bonus: exposure to construction, trades, or technical industries
