Talent Sourcer, Agency

Description

Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit.

About Lavendo

Lavendo is a US-based boutique recruiting agency specializing in sales, GTM, and tech roles for fast-growing startups and tech companies. We're a small, close-knit remote team who care deeply about results, relationships, and doing great work.

We move fast, take ownership of our work, and genuinely enjoy what we do. If that sounds like your kind of environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

We're looking for a Talent Sourcer to join our team and help us build strong, qualified candidate pipelines for our clients. This role is focused on the top of the funnel - you'll be responsible for identifying, researching, and engaging exceptional talent through outbound sourcing, and setting our recruiters up to close great placements.

This is a remote, flexible role. We ask that you're available for team syncs and client calls during US Pacific Time hours, with overlap until at least 3 PM PT (San Francisco time).

You don't need years of sourcing or recruiting experience to apply. What we care about most is that you're thoughtful, motivated, coachable, and take ownership of your work. We'll teach you the rest - including every tool in our stack.

What You'll Do

• Proactively source candidates using outreach tools, social media, X-ray, Boolean search, and creative sourcing strategies

• Build and manage strong outbound talent pipelines for a range of open roles

• Conduct initial candidate outreach and qualify interest and fit before handing off to recruiters

• Keep candidate records, pipelines, and sourcing notes accurate and up to date

• Collaborate closely with recruiters and communicate clearly on candidate quality and pipeline health

• Meet weekly sourcing activity targets and pipeline goals

• Share ideas, flag issues early, and contribute to team improvements - not just execute tasks

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Speak fluent English - you'll be conducting calls, writing outreach, and communicating with US professionals daily. This is a hard requirement.

• Are genuinely proactive - you notice what needs to be done and take initiative without waiting to be asked

• Have a strong sense of ownership - you treat your searches and candidates with care, as if they're your own responsibility

• Are coachable and curious - you welcome feedback, ask good questions, and enjoy learning

• Care about results - you're focused on pipeline quality and real outcomes, not just checking boxes

• Are collaborative and easy to work with - you support teammates, share knowledge, and contribute to a positive team environment

• Have 0-3 years of experience in any outbound, research, or client-facing role - sales development, research, recruiting, or sourcing (a plus but not required)

Benefits

• Competitive base salary based on your experience and local market (typically ~$800-$1,600/mo) + performance incentives tied to pipeline quality and hires - the more you contribute, the more you earn

• Deel contract for simple, reliable, international payments (1099 contract)

• A structured work environment with daily team syncs, weekly team trainings, and regular 1:1s

• A real team - not a solo gig. We collaborate on Slack daily and support each other's work

• Hands-on onboarding and coaching from an experienced US-based recruiter

• A modern, best-in-class recruiting tech stack - we use top tools and autonomous AI agents, and will train you on everything: Ashby, Juicebox, Metaview, Slack, Perplexity, Claude, and more

• Work with exciting clients - high-growth ML, AI Infra, Cyber and other tech startups across the US

• Autonomy to manage your own sourcing pipeline once you're up to speed

• Room to grow with a company that is expanding its client base and team - including a path toward full-cycle recruiting

Hiring Process

We've designed a straightforward process that respects your time and lets your actual skills shine:

• Async video - 2–3 minutes recorded

• Intro call with our Founder - mutual fit check

• Work sample task - a short sourcing exercise to show us how you think and work

• Behavioral interview - structured conversation focused on your experience and approach

• Reference check + offer

We review applications on a rolling basis. Apply early.
