As a Recruiting Sourcer, you'll lead the end-to-end sourcing process (excluding final offer extensions) for high-impact roles, with a focus on identifying, engaging, and delivering exceptional talent. This role demands more than reviewing resumes-it calls for a strategic, proactive mindset and a deep understanding of business needs, team dynamics, and what distinguishes top-tier candidates.
Success requires strong organization, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to both speed and quality. You'll thrive by taking initiative, navigating ambiguity, and applying sharp business acumen in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

You'll be responsible for:

Developing Targeted Sourcing Strategies: Partner with hiring managers and recruiters across both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking regions to craft tailored sourcing strategies, leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, niche job boards, and internal databases to proactively headhunt hard-to-find talent. Your ability to negotiate and influence during candidate conversations will be critical to securing top-tier candidates.
Engaging and Evaluating Talent: Conduct thorough outreach, pre-screening, and interviews to evaluate candidate fit, motivation, and potential. Summarize detailed candidate profiles that highlight key differentiators, providing actionable insights to hiring teams.
Owning the Process: Manage the full lifecycle of sourcing responsibilities with structure and organization, from reviewing candidate queues to scheduling interviews, following up on feedback, and ensuring a seamless candidate experience. You'll anticipate challenges and address them proactively to keep the process moving.
Understanding the Market: Dive deep into the talent landscape by conducting competitor analysis and talent mapping to inform hiring strategies. Collaborate with the business to provide data-driven insights on industry trends, talent availability, and market dynamics.
Build Relationships: Cultivate and maintain robust talent pipelines to meet current and future hiring needs, nurturing candidate relationships to ensure a steady flow of high-quality prospects.
Driving Excellence: Maintain meticulous records in the ATS and sourcing tools, ensuring data accuracy and delivering regular updates on sourcing progress and key metrics to stakeholders.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

1-5 years of sourcing experience across diverse, non-technical functions, in either an in-house or agency setting.
Fluency in both English and Mandarin required: The role involves frequent communication with global teams, clients, and stakeholders in English-speaking regions as well as Chinese-speaking markets. Proficiency in Mandarin is essential to effectively engage with Chinese-speaking partners and understand cultural nuances, ensuring smooth cross-cultural collaboration.
Strong ability to prioritize, multitask, and operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Excellent communication and organizational skills, with keen attention to detail.
Proficient in sourcing tools and techniques, including LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and other professional platforms.
Data-driven mindset with the ability to generate and present actionable insights and reporting to stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

1+ years of experience sourcing or recruiting in high-growth, fast-paced, or startup-like environments.
Ability to navigate global, rapidly evolving organizations with adaptability and resilience.
Proven success supporting high-volume requisitions while partnering closely with regional stakeholders.
Demonstrated stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and influence across multiple levels of an organization.
