sourcer
Candidate pipeline builder
A sourcer finds and identifies potential candidates for job positions, typically as a specialized recruiting function.
Unlike recruiters who manage the full hiring process, sourcers focus specifically on the front end—hunting through LinkedIn, databases, and networks to build candidate pipelines: Our sourcer found three strong candidates before the job was even posted.
The role emerged as talent acquisition became more competitive and required dedicated research skills.
