Role Overview

The Sourcing Specialist is responsible for identifying high-quality talent through strategic sourcing methods, deep market understanding, talent intelligence, and strong candidate engagement.

  • Pitch client brand, culture, and role opportunities convincingly.
  • Conduct structured pre-screens to assess skills, motivation, experience, and match.
  • Maintain high-quality submissions with strong submission-to-interview ratios.
  • Funnel & Reporting Accountability

  • Own sourcing funnel metrics : Submittals → Interviews → Offers → Hires.
  • Aim to maintain profile-to-hire conversion.
  • Track and report daily / weekly sourcing activity with accuracy.
  • Highlight risks early and recalibrate sourcing strategies based on data.
  • Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

  • Collaborate with Talent Advisors, and recruiting teams.
  • Communicate proactively with clarity and ownership.
  • Raise challenges and seek support in a timely manner.
  • Act as a sourcing subject-matter expert in discussions with delivery teams.
  • What You Will Bring

    Minimum Qualifications

  • 2–6 years of recruitment / sourcing experience (flexible based on capability).
  • Strong Boolean and search fundamentals across multiple platforms.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to participate in intake calls and challenge constructively.
