Talent Sourcer

Overall Purpose of the Role:

Collaborate closely with recruiters and hiring managers to analyze resource needs, identify ideal skill sets, and ensure timely availability of qualified candidates by maintaining an efficient, data-driven sourcing process.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaboration: Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand hiring needs and skill requirements.
• Job Posting & ATS Management: Post new job openings and maintain accurate, up-to-date statuses of open positions within the internal Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Active Candidate Sourcing: Actively source and attract high-quality candidates, developing a robust talent pipeline using diverse sourcing channels.
• Targeted Search & Outreach: Conduct targeted talent searches and outreach through various resources and platforms to connect with potential candidates.
• Data Management: Enter and track candidate data in multiple electronic systems; run and interpret standard reports as needed.

Who we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree—ideally in Human Resources, Economics, Psychology, or something similar.
• Fresh graduates are welcome! Passion for people and learning new things is just as important as your field of study.
• Some experience in sourcing or recruiting is great (from an agency, in-house, or even as an internship), but not required. If you’re new to the field, that’s okay—enthusiasm and willingness to learn go a long way.
• Basic knowledge of sourcing techniques (like LinkedIn, Boolean searches, or social media) is a plus, but we’ll give you all the training you need to get up to speed.
• Decent skills with Microsoft Office—especially Excel.
• Comfortable reading, writing, and speaking in English AND German.

The kind of person who thrives here

• Proactive: You like to take initiative and are willing to jump in and try things, even if they’re new.
• Empathetic Listener: You care about people’s perspectives and are a good listener.
• Problem Solver: You enjoy helping others and figuring out solutions when challenges pop up.
• Great Communicator: You’re clear, open, and friendly in both written and verbal communication.
• Service-Minded: You value helping others—whether that’s candidates, recruiters, or hiring managers—and want their experience to be positive.
• Self-Motivated and Adaptable: You work well on your own, but also ask questions and seek feedback. You’re flexible and have a “can-do” attitude.
• Dependable and Responsible: People can count on you—you do what you say you’ll do, and you pay attention to the details.
• Analytical Thinker: You like using data, numbers, or reports to understand what’s working and find ways to improve.
• Tech Curious: You’re comfortable using basic recruiting tools and open to learning new technology.
• Organized and Resilient: You can juggle multiple things at once and work well in a fast-paced team.
