The Role

Sourcers play a key role in our clients’ success by partnering with Hiring Managers and Recruiters and developing effective, consultative, professional relationships with them.

Through asking the right questions to ensure a detailed understanding of the client and each role, and by leveraging data, historic hiring trends and market analysis, Sourcers develop bespoke sourcing strategies and then use a range of tools and techniques to find the best talent in the market. Sourcers are brand ambassadors for our clients, bringing each opportunity to life with candidates in a compelling and authentic way to ensure they are qualified, interested and engaged before being presented to the Hiring Manager.

A Senior Sourcer is a true subject matter expert in recruitment and sourcing and will confidently partner with senior stakeholders to understand even the most complex hiring needs, developing sourcing strategies which focus on finding and engaging passive talent across specialist disciplines.

You can expect to work with client stakeholders e.g., Hiring Managers, Recruiters (AMS or Client) and Candidates.

It’s not just about what you do it’s also about how you do it.

In the Sourcing Centre of Excellence, we are committed to setting you up for success by giving you clear goals together with the training, development and support that is needed to achieve them.
