Job Description
Talent Sourcer at fonio identifying top candidates quickly for a fast-scaling AI company. Engaging with candidates through personalized outreach and managing a growing talent pipeline.
Responsibilities:
- You'll own the top of the funnel across multiple open roles simultaneously — researching markets, building boolean searches, identifying high-potential candidates on LinkedIn and beyond, adding them to Ashby, writing personalized outreach, and running multi-touch sequences until you get a response
- Build and execute targeted boolean search strategies on LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, and other platforms for assigned roles
- Pre-qualify every candidate before adding them to Ashby — checking for role fit, location, language, and track record
- Add qualified candidates to Ashby with complete profiles, source tags, and a 2–3 sentence note on why they're relevant
- Launch and manage multi-touch outreach sequences immediately upon adding each candidate
- Monitor reply rates and adjust messaging, targeting, and search strategy based on what's working
- Maintain a clean, up-to-date pipeline in Ashby at all times — no candidates tracked outside the ATS
- Tag every candidate correctly (source, role, stage) so reporting is always accurate
- Flag strong replies to the recruiter within 24 hours — never let a positive response go cold
- Update candidate statuses in real time — no batch updates at end of week
- Deliver a structured weekly report
- Flag blockers and search strategy issues immediately
- Participate in two weekly syncs (Monday brief + Thursday pulse) with the Hiring Lead
- Incorporate feedback from phone screens into your search approach within 24 hours
- Conduct ongoing market mapping for assigned roles — understand where the right talent is, what they're paid, and how competitive the market is
- Identify new sourcing channels and communities relevant to each role
- Share insights and recommendations proactively — you're not just executing, you're thinking
Requirements:
- Proven sourcing experience — you've run boolean searches, built outreach sequences, and delivered qualified pipelines under time pressure
- Ashby experience is a strong plus — or deep experience with another ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) and the ability to get up to speed in Ashby fast
- LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator proficiency — you know how to find people who aren't applying
- Excellent written English — your outreach messages are personalized, concise, and convert
- High attention to detail — every profile in Ashby is complete, tagged, and noted. Always.
- Data-driven mindset — you track your own reply rates, conversion rates, and quality metrics and use them to improve
- Ability to manage multiple roles simultaneously — you're organized, prioritize well, and don't drop balls
- Genuine curiosity about the roles you're sourcing for — you ask good questions, understand what "good" looks like for each profile, and adjust accordingly
- Enthusiasm for AI tools — you actively use AI to improve your workflow, personalize outreach, and move faster
- Fluent in English (written and spoken — your outreach is your product)
- Available to work European business hours with overlap to Vienna (CET/CEST)
- Comfortable working fully remote as part of a fast-moving, high-accountability team
- Minimum 1 year of hands-on sourcing experience — not recruiting coordination, not HR admin: actual candidate sourcing
Benefits:
- A high-impact role at a company growing from 32 to 100+ people — you'll see the direct result of your work in hires made
- Direct collaboration with the Hiring Lead and Talent Acquisition Manager — no layers, no bureaucracy
- A clear brief every week, structured feedback after every phone screen, and a Notion workspace where everything is documented
- Access to the latest AI tools and sourcing platforms
- Competitive freelance rate based on experience
- The opportunity to grow into a full-cycle recruiter role as the team scales
