Lead strategic sourcing for retained searches using OSINT and agentic AI to uncover passive, hard-to-find candidates. Map industries, deploy autonomous sourcing agents, extract verified contact data, perform forensic analysis, and provide market insights to recruiting teams while maintaining strict confidentiality and data integrity.
Location: 100% REMOTE (US-Based Applicants Only)
Firm Profile: A high-performance, 100% Retained Search firm utilizing a bleeding-edge AI and OSINT technology stack.
The Mission
Our firm does not "find candidates" .We conduct deep-web investigations to identify the most elusive talent for mission-critical roles. We specialize in industries where the best candidates are not on LinkedIn and do not have a social media presence. As a Strategic Sourcing Lead, you will act as a digital detective, utilizing agentic
AI and forensic logic to find the mobile numbers and personal emails of the top 1% of candidates. This is 100% retained work; we provide our clients with certainty, not volume.
Core Outcome:
- Industry Deep-Mapping: You will break down the organizational structures of firms in 10 specialized, non-social industries to identify high-performing passive talent.
- AI Agent Orchestration: You will deploy and refine autonomous sourcing agents (Juicebox, Exa, Pin) using natural language to scan the web 24/7.
- Contact Extraction & Enrichment: You will leverage advanced OSINT tools to uncover verified mobile numbers and personal emails, bypassing the noise of traditional job boards.
- Cognitive Analysis: You will use inductive and deductive reasoning to bridge gaps in data, ensuring that every candidate presented is a perfect cultural and technical fit.
- Strategic Client Partnership: You will provide data-driven insights and market trends to our recruiting teams, helping to align sourcing strategies with long-term workforce planning.
Required Expertise
- Sourcing Experience: 5+ years in senior-level sourcing, preferably within a retained search environment.
- Technical Stack: Mastery of OSINT tools (Holehe, OSINT Industries), AI sourcing platforms (ZoomInfo, SeekOut), and semantic CRMs (Crelate).
- Forensic Logic: Exceptional ability to analyze complex data, identify patterns, and draw logical conclusions from multifaceted sources.
- US Professionalism: This is a US-only remote role. You must be able to operate autonomously in a distributed environment, maintaining high standards of async documentation and data integrity.
Attributes of the "Top 1% "Candidate
- Investigative Spirit: You are not satisfied with a LinkedIn profile. You keep digging until you find the person nobody else can find.
- Industry Voracity: You take pride in becoming an expert in our clients' businesses, understanding their market dynamics and competitive landscape.
- Ethical Integrity: You handle sensitive data with the highest degree of confidentiality and adhere to all legal standards for candidate engagement.
