We are looking for a highly proactive and results-driven
Active Headhunter to join our talent acquisition team. In this remote position, you will specialize in outbound sourcing and recruiting for hard-to-fill, specialized, and senior-level roles across various industries. You will act as a true talent scout — proactively identifying, engaging, and closing top passive candidates who are not actively looking for new opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
• Outbound Sourcing:
Proactively source passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean searches, resume databases, internal lists, GitHub, professional networks, referrals, and other creative channels.
• Candidate Engagement:
Reach out to targeted professionals with personalized, high-touch messaging to generate interest in opportunities.
• Full-Cycle Recruiting:
Manage the entire recruiting process for assigned hard-to-fill roles — from intake meetings with hiring managers to offer negotiation and closing.
• Pipeline Building:
Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline for current and future critical roles.
• Market Intelligence:
Stay up-to-date on talent market trends, competitor activity, and compensation benchmarks in key skill areas.
• Collaboration:
Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, team dynamics, and ideal candidate profiles.
• Tracking & Reporting:
Maintain accurate records in the ATS and provide regular reporting on sourcing activity, pipeline health, and time-to-fill metrics.
Requirements
• Proven Track Record:
3+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter or headhunter with a strong emphasis on outbound sourcing for difficult-to-fill positions (tech, engineering, healthcare, finance, or specialized fields preferred).
• Sourcing Expertise:
Advanced skills in LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search logic, X-Ray searching, and alternative sourcing techniques.
• Self-Starter:
Highly motivated with excellent discipline working remotely and managing your own pipeline.
• Communication Skills:
Exceptional written and verbal communication — ability to craft compelling outreach messages and build rapport quickly.
• Results-Oriented:
Demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding metrics (e.g., interviews arranged, offers accepted, time-to-hire).
• Tools:
Proficiency with ATS systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever), LinkedIn Recruiter, and sourcing tools.
