About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies for highly technical roles across software, hardware, robotics, and manufacturing engineering.
  • Own top-of-funnel pipeline development using LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Metaview, and other internal specialized tools.
  • Write personalized, research-driven outreach, achieving 25%+ response rates on passive candidates.
  • Conduct qualification screens to assess technical fit, motivation, and comp alignment before passing to full-cycle recruiters.
  • Develop and maintain search strings, target company lists, and talent maps by role family.
  • Partner with recruiters and hiring managers on intake, calibration, and iterative search refinement.
  • Track sourcing metrics (outreach volume, response rates, pipeline conversion) and report weekly on pipeline health.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate research, draft outreach variations, and identify non-obvious candidate pools.

What You’ll Need

  • Prior experience recruiting for technical roles at a technical company. 2–5 years of technical sourcing or recruiting experience at a technical company or staffing firm.
  • Deep fluency with LinkedIn Recruiter and at least one additional sourcing platform (Juicebox, Gem, Findem, or similar).
  • Demonstrated ability to build sourcing pipelines for niche, hard-to-fill technical roles — you can find people who aren't looking.
  • Strong working knowledge of AI tools as a sourcing accelerator. (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar)
  • Strong written communication skills with a track record of outreach messages that get replies.
  • Ability to read a technical job description, ask the right intake questions, and independently construct a sourcing strategy without hand-holding.
  • Experience with ATS platforms (Greenhouse preferred) for pipeline management, tagging, and reporting.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and willingness to iterate on sourcing strategies.
  • A first-principles approach to candidate evaluation quality.
  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • Willingness to work onsite in Emeryville or Santa Clara, 2-3 days a week.
