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 Principal Sourcing Specialist 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.

Proactively ensure you’re bringing insight and intelligence to recruiting discussions at the beginning of the process.
• Show tact and confidence in talking to client stakeholders. Ensure you’re leveraging your knowledge and wider AMS network to propose solutions that deliver the right results for your clients and AMS e.g., proposing alternative ways to find niche skills in a competitive market.

As a Trusted Advisor, make clear recommendations on your shortlisted candidates and speculatively introduce candidates of interest to your key stakeholders.

• Support, coach, and mentor junior colleagues, acting as lead in problem solving discussions.

Attract, source & engage

• Demonstrate innovative, critical thinking and a commitment to ongoing professional development within your role, so you can support your client to hire the best talent in the market, not just those who are actively on the market.

• Have high quality, consultative conversations with your candidates, qualifying their suitability for current or future roles. Engage regularly with passive talent and identify opportunities to speculatively arrange introductions to key stakeholders.
• Gain insight into candidate skills, background, behaviours, career aspirations and motivations and use this to make informed selection decisions.
• Support candidates keeping them up to date as they progress through the recruitment process. Actively work with your candidates to talent pool them and create lasting relationships that enables you to re-engage them to support future hiring needs.
