Technical Sourcer

Responsibilities

• Own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for technical reqs across Software Engineering or Data Science. You build the pipeline, engage and qualify the candidate, and hand off a qualified, well-briefed person to the recruiter.
• Run talent research. Market maps, org mapping, open-source and technical community research, and advanced boolean and x-ray search across sources most people do not think to check.
• Write outreach that gets answered. You personalize based on what someone has actually built, you test your messaging, and you own your response rate as a number you can explain.
• Operate at volume without losing precision. You run multiple searches at once with disciplined follow-up cadences, accurate ATS hygiene, and clean data that others can trust.
• Turn research into intelligence.
• Build market maps, talent density views, and competitive hiring insights, then bring them to recruiters and hiring managers to shape role scope, leveling, and search strategy.
• Build diverse pipelines by design, through the breadth of your research and the inclusivity of your outreach, not as a screening step at the end.
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers on calibration. You bring the market back into the room when a role as written is not findable, and you propose what would make it winnable.
• Track and report your funnel. Response rate, screen pass rate, and stage conversion tell you where to spend your next hour. Use them, and share what they say.
• Represent Plaid authentically. You are often a candidate's first impression of us, and that first conversation sets the tone for everything after it.
