Why does this role exist?
- This is a full-time, in-house role at Magic — not freelance, and not a placement with a single client.
- You'll build and hold candidate pipelines for niche, hard-to-fill roles — running Boolean searches across LinkedIn, job boards, and online communities, then screening and scheduling before a recruiter ever steps in.
- On custom, high-touch hires, you'll run sourcing, outreach, screening, and scheduling in a single day.
- This isn't a full-cycle recruiting seat — you won't be running interviews or making offers.
- What you will do is make the call, before anyone else sees a resume, on whether a candidate is strong enough to move forward.
What You'll Actually Do
- Sourcing & Research
- Hunt down candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, social platforms, and online communities — running Boolean searches and testing keyword combinations until the right people surface.
- Build pipelines for the reqs open today and the ones opening next month, and log all of it in Penthouse, Magic's in-house ATS, so nothing gets lost.
- Coordination & Handoff
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiters to understand exactly what "qualified" means for each req, then keep sourcing paced to their timelines.
- For niche and custom requests, you’re also the one getting candidates onto the calendar — scheduling is part of the job, not an afterthought.
- Candidate Engagement & Screening
- You’re the first filter before anyone else sees a resume — reaching out, gauging real interest, and screening for fit before you endorse anyone up the chain.
- You'll keep candidates warm with real communication, not templated silence, because a good pipeline is really just a lot of relationships you didn't let go cold.
What Winning Looks Like
- You keep a pipeline moving even when half of it has gone quiet — you re-engage instead of waiting around.
- You can lose a whole day to one complicated custom req and still hit your other numbers.
- You can tell a great candidate from a good-on-paper one before a recruiter ever opens the profile.
- You hit your targets — Matching Interview Pass Rate, Hire Hit Rate, Drop-off Rate, Daily Endorsements — without cutting corners to get there.
- Recruiters trust your handoffs, because they're clean every time, not just when it's convenient.
Your Superpowers
- Adaptability
- Attention to Detail
- Boolean Search Mastery
- Self-Direction
- Challenge-Ready Mindset
- Clear Communication
What You Bring
- 1–3 years of dedicated sourcing experience — this is a sourcing seat, not a full-cycle recruiting one, so we're looking for someone who already thinks like a sourcer.
- A track record finding candidates for niche or hard-to-fill roles across LinkedIn, job boards, social platforms, and online communities.
- Hands-on Boolean search and keyword optimization skills.
- Comfortable running multiple sourcing requests and accounts at once in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
- Professional English, written and verbal.
- WFH setup: 8GB+ RAM with an Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 or better, 40 Mbps+ internet with backup, noise-cancelling headset with mic and webcam, backup computer and connection, quiet dedicated workspace.
Our Hiring Process
- Application → Recruiter Screening → Hiring Manager Interview → Final Interview → Job Offer
The Reality
- This role sits within Magic's Boutique team, supporting recruiters across general, niche, and custom-hire requisitions — everything from SDRs and bookkeepers to project managers and full custom accounts.
- The pool for niche and custom roles is often small, so real sourcing work is the norm, not the exception, and priorities can flip from a slow-burn niche search to an all-day custom-hire sprint without warning.
Shift
- 9 AM–6 PM PHT (flexible start options: 7 AM–4 PM or 8 AM–5 PM), Monday–Friday, reporting to the Recruitment Manager.
Your First 30 Days
- Fully dedicated to onboarding — ramping into Magic's tools and processes, including full training on Penthouse.
- KPI expectations begin at Day 90:
- Matching Interview Pass Rate ≥60% (monthly)
- Hire Hit Rate ≥15%
- Drop-off Rate <5%
- Daily Endorsements of 1–3 for niche reqs or 8 for custom hires.
Before You Apply — Quick Gut Check
- Can you go from a slow-burn niche search to an all-day sourcing-and-scheduling sprint without losing your rhythm?
- Are you comfortable building a pipeline from nothing but a Boolean string and good instinct?
- Can you tell a great candidate from a good-on-paper one before a recruiter ever sees the profile?
- Is your WFH setup ready (8GB+ RAM, i5/Ryzen 5, 40+ Mbps internet, noise-cancelling headset)?
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
