Contract Talent Sourcer

Job Description

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of elite technical sourcing experience, specifically embedding with deep-tech, hardware, or advanced R&D teams.
• Proven track record of finding “purple squirrels” sourcing highly specialized, passive technical talent using advanced Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and alternative sourcing channels.
• High autonomy & speed: Experience working as an independent contractor (1099) or in a solo/scrappy sourcing role where you didn’t rely on a massive HR team or rigid infrastructure to succeed.
• Exceptional communication: Ability to professionally interface with executive leadership (reporting to a VP) and articulate complex, mission-driven tech (like fusion energy) to passive candidates.
• Deep understanding of hardware/physics engineering: You know the difference between software sourcing and recruiting for complex physical systems (e.g., magnetics, cryogenics, power electronics, or nuclear/plasma systems).
• Strategic talent mapping: Proven ability to map out competing companies, research labs, and academic institutions to find niche talent.
• No-fluff closing skills: Experience handling the initial screen and “selling” a high-risk, high-reward startup mission to comfortable, senior industry professionals.
• Systems Expertise: Advanced proficiency with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS); direct experience with Lever is a strong plus.
• Experience with SharePoint and Slack is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree is required.

RESPONSIBILTIES

• Pipeline Generation: Source, engage, and attract passive, world-class engineering and scientific talent.
• Infrastructure Building: Help design and optimize our sourcing workflows, tools, and talent pools for long-term scale.
• Candidate Experience: Act as a first point of contact, delivering an exceptional, high-touch experience that reflects Thea Energy’s culture.
• Strategic Partnership: Collaborate directly with the VP of People and hiring managers to understand evolving technical needs and calibrate search strategies.
• High-Autonomy Execution: Manage a high volume of technical roles in a fast-paced, agile environment, moving candidates quickly through the interview lifecycle while maintaining a high quality bar.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Serve as the primary face of the company to passive talent, evangelizing Thea Energy’s mission to solve complex clean energy challenges.
