Job Description

Talent Acquisition Specialist (Sourcing-Focused)

About the Role

We are seeking a highly driven Talent Acquisition Specialist with a strong sourcing background to help scale our growing team. This role is heavily focused on outbound sourcing — proactively identifying, engaging, and delivering top-tier talent across corporate, operational, and growth-focused roles.

You will thrive in a fast-paced, scrappy environment where urgency matters, priorities evolve quickly, and your impact is visible. While sourcing is the primary focus, you will also support candidate screening and interview coordination to ensure a seamless and efficient hiring process.

This role is ideal for someone who loves the hunt, enjoys building pipelines from scratch, and takes pride in consistently surfacing exceptional talent.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively source, engage, and build high-quality talent pipelines for immediate and future hiring needs using LinkedIn, referrals, networking, and creative outreach strategies
• Conduct market research and talent mapping to identify and engage top-tier candidates
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, success profiles, and ideal candidate attributes
• Craft and execute personalized, high-conversion outreach campaigns and follow-up messaging
• Rapidly surface qualified candidates while adapting sourcing strategies to shifting business priorities
• Conduct thorough initial candidate screens to assess experience, competencies, and motivational fit
• Ensure a positive, transparent, and efficient candidate experience from first contact through interview scheduling
• Maintain accurate tracking and reporting of pipeline activity and sourcing performance

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or sourcing roles
• Proven success in heavy outbound sourcing and pipeline development
• Experience recruiting for niche or specialized roles within high-growth consumer brands (VMS experience is a plus)
• Comfortable operating in a scrappy, high-urgency, fast-moving environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple roles and shifting priorities simultaneously
• Bias toward action — you move with speed, urgency, and ownership

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently delivering high-quality candidate pipelines
• Shortened time-to-fill through proactive sourcing
• Strong hiring manager satisfaction
• Candidates report a positive and efficient hiring experience
