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.
