Senior Technical Sourcer (Contract)

The Sr. Technical Sourcer role is an exciting opportunity as it's only our 2nd role born out of our growth and hiring needs. You will be part of a dedicated, high-performing team and will leverage new channels in the market to identify and attract top talent. Because the sourcing team is a new function within the Zwift recruiting team, you will be a part of establishing best-in-class strategies, process, and philosophies.

You are someone who can identify, engage, and pre-qualify candidates for technical roles such as game developers, full stack engineers, architects, game designers, web and server engineers. You will know how to effectively communicate in a way that resonates with the intended audience. You are keen to writing crafty, inspiring, and captivating messages that stand out and will lead passive candidates to respond to you among the dozens of messages they receive. You are an out-of-the box sourcer and know how to find the purple squirrel that doesn’t exist on LinkedIn. 

Being flexible and adaptable is key in this role as you will be driven to do what it takes to contribute in a fast-paced, collaborative, start-up environment. Two days are usually never the same. 

If this sounds exciting to you and you're up for the challenge, we want to hear from you!

• Collaborate with the Talent Engagement team to build diverse talent pipelines for current and future talent needs with candidates that hold the necessary experience, skills, and competencies.
