Technical Sourcer
WFA Digital Insight
Talentful’s Technical Sourcer role sits at the intersection of talent strategy and engineering recruitment, giving a sourcer the chance to embed within a single high‑growth client and truly understand its product culture. Unlike generic sourcing jobs that juggle multiple accounts, this position focuses on deep, passive candidate engagement for software engineers, leveraging Boolean search, LinkedIn, and creative outreach methods. The emphasis on Excel‑driven data means you’ll be expected to track pipelines, surface insights, and inform hiring decisions with concrete metrics. Working side‑by‑side with senior recruiters and client stakeholders, the sourcer becomes a strategic partner rather than a transaction‑focused recruiter. Candidates who thrive here combine meticulous organization with strong written communication and a genuine curiosity for tech talent.
Job Description
Talentful is shaping the future of how high-growth companies build world-class teams. We partner with some of the fastest-scaling technology businesses to turn talent into a durable competitive advantage and help them win in the market by attracting, engaging, and retaining the top talent who accelerate growth.

We’ve helped global innovators scale efficiently and thoughtfully, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Pinterest, Atlassian, Expedia, Instacart, Miro, and many more. With a global team across Europe and the US, we’re united by a single mission: to help every company we work with grow to its highest potential. As we continue building the world’s leading talent consultancy, we’re looking for people who want to help redefine what “recruitment” can be by transforming it into a true driver of business value and long-term competitive advantage.

How to Stand Out
- Master Boolean search techniques and keep a personal cheat‑sheet of your most effective strings; interviewers will ask you to demonstrate a live search.
- Prepare a short portfolio of past sourcing projects, highlighting candidate numbers, response rates, and any Excel dashboards you built.
- Highlight specific examples of how you improved candidate experience in previous roles; concrete anecdotes resonate more than generic claims.
- Research Talentful’s subscription model and be ready to discuss how sourcing can add strategic value beyond filling a single vacancy.
- During interviews, ask about the client you’ll be embedded with to show genuine interest and to gauge cultural fit.
- When negotiating, factor in the wellness stipend and remote‑work allowances as part of the total compensation package.
- Watch for vague descriptions of performance metrics; clear, data‑driven expectations are a sign of a well‑structured sourcing function.
