About the Technical Sourcer role

A Technical Sourcer works almost full-time on finding passive technical candidates: people who are not applying but would open the right conversation. They work in tandem with the recruiter, who runs the full process.

On teams where sourcing is the bottleneck, niche roles, thin markets, splitting sourcing from full-cycle recruiting raises pipeline volume without sacrificing quality in the final stages.

Three mistakes when hiring a technical sourcer

Asking for a technical sourcer without giving them tool access (LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, your own database).
Measuring them on profiles sent instead of reply rate and profiles that move forward.
Not giving them an intake with a reference profile.
