Talent Acquisition Sourcer

The Talent Sourcer plays a crucial role in the early stages of the recruitment process by proactively sourcing and engaging potential candidates. Talent sourcers are skilled in identifying and engaging passive candidates, those who are not actively seeking new job opportunities. They utilize persuasive communication, networking techniques, and relationship-building skills to attract and engage these potential candidates. The primary objective of a talent sourcer is to build a strong pipeline of qualified candidates, ensuring that hiring managers have access to a diverse pool of potential hires. By proactively sourcing candidates and identifying top talent, talent sourcers contribute to the success of the recruitment process and enable the making of well-informed hiring decisions.
