Talent Sourcer

Job Description

We're looking for a Talent Sourcer to join the Recruiting Team at Zapier.

Talented people can be found everywhere, but quite often the best people aren't even thinking about a career change. This is where Zapier’s Talent Sourcer comes in.

Here at Zapier, we know Talent Sourcing can be more than pipeline building and candidate generation. Sourcing is a strategic and highly-valued technical craft that combines a deep curiosity to understand humans and their motivations around work, and the perseverance to find the right people and connect with them with the right opportunities in the right ways.

This role will report to a centralized Talent Attraction function and will partner with various functional teams. You’ll have a chance to dive deeply into what these teams are working on, their strategic priorities, the technologies they are using, and what they are building to make everyone more productive at work.

About You

• You have experience with talent sourcing as a craft. You have ideally 2-5 years of sourcing experience in an in-house (preferably SaaS) or agency environment. You’ve worked on hard-to-fill, niche, or highly technical roles, and you understand that sourcing is not a band-aid solution but a highly-valued technical craft and a critical part of strategic talent acquisition. You're also no stranger to deploying creative ways to find the candidates that no one else could find. You love manipulating boolean search strings to get results, and are familiar with LinkedIn Dark Matter ;)
• You are a champion for diversity & inclusion. At Zapier, we know that hiring and fostering a diverse team is just the right thing to do. You advocate for DIBE at every stage of the sourcing funnel, and you’re keen to flex your creativity to find technically-skilled folks from underrepresented backgrounds.
• You are metrics-driven and data-informed. You are comfortable using data to guide your decisions. You are able to weave together your knowledge of total addressable markets, industry benchmarks, and historical conversion rates to set expectations and guide yourself toward smarter outcomes.
• An appreciation of language. You enjoy words, both written and spoken. You are always looking for ways to better your communication skills. You are eager to translate your love of words into a creative job description, a clever outreach email, a well-articulated update to a hiring manager, or a compelling training brief.
• You have fluency with modern tools. You have an appreciation for how technology (and automation!) make work better. You are comfortable using modern recruiting tools such as Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter, Talent Insights, and Greenhouse to accomplish your goals efficiently. If you’ve not used these, you would feel comfortable researching them and pushing buttons to see what happens. You are also driven to find better tools to improve how we work.

Things You'll Do

• Talent mapping: Research markets, companies, teams, and role types based on industry, financial state, recent acquisitions, and market events to drive your sourcing strategies for current or upcoming roles
• Candidate generation: Build pipelines of qualified and underrepresented candidates from a variety of sources, including accessing pools of talent from historically underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Create and maintain long-term relationships with top talent in the industry.
• Partnering with Recruiters and the Hiring Managers: Nurture strong relationships with recruiters and hiring managers to understand hiring needs and work with them to develop creative strategies for sourcing and attracting the best talent in a competitive market.
• Outreach and engagement: Engage top talent through multiple avenues including e-mail and LinkedIn outreach using a high-touch and personalized approach that equally reflects Zapier’s unique talent brand.
• Data: Use high-quality qualitative and quantitative data to influence decisions and continuously improve outcomes.
• Experimentation: Experiment with new approaches, tactics, sources, and tools to maximize your impact. This may include A/B testing outreach, trying a new sourcing platform, or taking an alternative approach to finding candidates.
• Projects and process improvement: Support a key project or initiative to improve and scale how we source at Zapier so we can build a best-in-class Talent Sourcing function.
• Sourcing enablement and education: Educate your partners on the Recruiting Team and in the business on ways to engage in and improve their sourcing.
• Travel of 5% - 10% for company retreats that rotate to various cities throughout North America.
• As a part of Zapier's all-hands philosophy, help customers via support to ensure they have the best experience possible.
