The Role
Talent Sourcers play a key role in our clients' success by partnering with Hiring Managers and Recruiters and developing effective, consultative, professional relationships with them. Through asking the right questions to ensure a detailed understanding of the client and each role, and by leveraging data, historic hiring trends, and market analysis, Talent Sourcers develop bespoke sourcing strategies and then use a range of tools and techniques to find the best talent in the market.

Talent Sourcers are brand ambassadors for our clients, bringing each opportunity to life with candidates in a compelling and authentic way to ensure they are qualified, interested, and engaged before being presented to the Hiring Manager.
Key Accountabilities
What you'll be doing

Act as a Trusted Adviser

• Work with Recruiters to develop close working relationships that deliver a great candidate and hiring manager experience.
• With support from your manager, develop confidence in working with experts in our Talent Intelligence team and learn to leverage your own resources and research to develop effective sourcing strategies and influence conversations with your client.
• Contribute to recruitment discussions and vacancy briefing calls with Hiring Managers, leaving the discussion with a detailed understanding of the client's business and the requirements and unique selling points of the role.
• Be accountable for the delivery of high-quality, engaged candidate shortlists to your Hiring Managers, providing accurate, complete information enabling informed hiring decisions.
• Work with Recruiters and Hiring Managers, seeking support from your manager where required, to share candidate feedback, challenges, and successes so you can adapt your recruiting strategy together.

Attract, Source & Engage High-Calibre Talent

• Demonstrate innovative, critical thinking and a commitment to learning the "fundamentals of sourcing" to support your client in hiring the best talent in the market, not just those who are actively on the market.

• Engage with your target audience in a professional and authentic way. Communicate effectively using various channels e.g., email, LinkedIn, social media, and over the phone.
• During the first 3 months in your role, learn how to have quality conversations with your candidates, qualifying their suitability for current or future roles.
• Gain insight into candidate skills, background, behaviours, career aspirations, and motivations and use this to make informed selection decisions.
• Support candidates, keeping them up to date as they progress through the recruitment process.
• Work with your team to build talent pools of great candidates that can be considered for other roles.
• Learn to present candidates to clients in an accurate and compelling way.

• Demonstrate a commitment to your candidates so that they feel valued throughout the recruitment process. Keep them updated and informed, following up with Recruiters and Hiring Managers when needed.
• Build lasting relationships with candidates so they become client advocates, irrespective of hiring outcomes.

Skills & Requirements

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage confidently with candidates and stakeholders.
