  • Qualify and conduct initial outreach conversations as needed
  • Track sourcing metrics (response rates, conversion rates, from posting to interviews) and continuously optimize strategy
  • Maintain clean, accurate data within the ATS

What We're Looking For

  • 3–7+ years of technical sourcing experience in a high-growth or technical environment
  • Demonstrated success sourcing engineers across hardware and software domains
  • Strong proficiency with modern sourcing tools and talent intelligence platforms
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to enhance sourcing research, outreach personalization, candidate screening, and workflow efficiency
  • Ability to quickly understand complex technical requirements
  • Strong written communication skills — you write outreach that converts
  • Comfort managing multiple searches simultaneously under tight timelines
  • High level of organization, ownership, and bias toward action
  • Strong curiosity to understand technology

At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
