We require a dedicated, professional Sourcing Specialist to manage a high volume of concurrent searches (15-20 open positions) and execute the top-of-funnel candidate generation and outreach.
This role requires specific experience in headhunting and sourcing senior, specialized B2B profiles across different industry verticals.
2. The Roles You Will Be Sourcing
You will be sourcing candidates for senior and specialized positions. The key challenge is the niche nature of the roles, not one specific industry. Examples include:
• Senior Project Managers/Engineers (Infrastructure, Rail, Construction)
• Specialized IT/Tech roles (DevOps, Cloud Architects, Cybersecurity)
• Senior Controllers/Finance Specialists
• Various Executive or Management positions
3. Mandatory Requirements (DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT MEET THESE)
To succeed in this role, you must meet the following criteria:
Requirement Detail
- Tool Access: You must have an active, personally owned license for LinkedIn Recruiter (Lite or Professional). We will not provide the license.
- Sourcing Experience: Minimum 3+ years of documented experience sourcing multiple types of senior, specialized, or technical B2B profiles.
- Volume Management: Proven ability to handle 15-20 diverse, high-priority searches simultaneously with structured workflow and reporting.
- Language: Excellent written and spoken English for communication with our team.
- Adaptability: Ability to quickly learn and adapt search strategies for new, highly specific niche verticals based on client input.
4. Workflow and Responsibilities
Your primary goal is to deliver qualified, interested, and available candidates ready for our final interview stage.
A. Input Provided by Us (The Client):
• Detailed Job Descriptions (JDs).
• Pre-written, professional contact message templates for all candidate outreach (in the native language).
B. Your Responsibilities (The Sourcer):
1. Search & Strategy: Execute searches to find the perfect candidates via LinkedIn Recruiter.
2. Outreach: Send the provided contact message templates to identified prospects. You are responsible for accurate copy/paste of the native language content.
3. Follow-up: Manage all follow-ups via InMail/email.
4. Initial Screening: Conduct a brief (10–15 minute) screening call in English to verify:
- Genuine interest and fit.
- Availability and current employment status.
- Basic confirmation of background (as listed on their CV).
5. Delivery: Submit the candidate’s CV and a short, written screening summary/notes to us for final interview scheduling.
5. Compensation Model
We seek a long-term partnership with a focus on quality.
• Hourly Rate: Please state your competitive hourly rate for this specialized sourcing work.
• Performance Bonus: A bonus structure will be agreed upon, payable per candidate delivered who is deemed qualified by us and progresses to a final interview (e.g., $X bonus per successful delivery OR per job filled = higher bonus).
6. Application Instructions (Mandatory)
To prove you have the necessary tools and expertise to handle diverse, niche roles, please include the following in your proposal:
- Confirm that you currently possess an active LinkedIn Recruiter license.
- Provide an example of a Boolean search string you would use to find a Cloud Architect with deep experience in AWS and Kubernetes (Show your strategy for combining keywords).
- Describe your process for managing 15+ concurrent searches across different job functions.
- Collaboration Strategy: Given the high volume (15-20 roles/month) and the required speed/quality, how would you propose we structure our weekly communication and reporting to ensure efficiency and clear visibility on all searches? What data points (KPIs) would you prioritize sharing with us weekly and how?
We are looking forward to your detailed bid.
