Professional - Talent Sourcer

Manager is seeking candidates be local to Chicago, to be onsite about 2 days/week. Direct Feedback from the Hiring Team: • Coming from someone who has worked extensively in both a dedicated sourcer role and a full life cycle recruiter role, I want to reinforce that they truly are different skill sets. While there can certainly be overlap, the day to day focus, depth, and success measures for a true sourcer are distinct from those of a full cycle recruiter. • For this team, the expectation is a role that is heavily and consistently anchored in front end sourcing: market mapping, proactive outreach, creative sourcing strategies, and long term pipeline development for hard to find talent. Even when candidates have done sourcing as part of a broader recruiting role, we've found that it doesn't always translate to the level of depth and specialization we're looking for here.
