Sourcing Specialist

Who We Are

We are a team of expert recruiters, strategic sourcers, and dedicated operations specialists who believe that every growing business needs and deserves a high-performance recruiting engine. FractionalRecruiter was built for small businesses, lean HR teams, and employers who are doing big things but just don’t have the bandwidth to lead and manage recruiting on top of everything else.

We aren't a traditional recruiting agency. We are a people-first, deeply integrated recruiting partner that operates as a true extension of our clients' teams. We don’t just fill roles, we carry the weight of our clients' missions and help them find the people they need to propel their businesses forward.

What We Do

We help employers build recruiting engines that actually work. Most of our clients are busy and simply don't have the time to hunt for talent or manage the constant details of a search. Rather than just making one-off placements, we design the processes, execute the sourcing strategies, and build the talent pipelines our clients need to consistently find great people—and we provide the expert guidance to help them make the right hiring decisions.

In practice, this means we architect custom hiring strategies and help our clients vet every candidate for culture fit and competence. We drive recruiting activity to create market momentum, and we enable hiring teams by managing the heavy lifting of interview coordination, systems administration, and candidate communication. We work with the tenacity required to push through obstacles and find the right talent, even when the search is difficult.

What It’s Like to Work Here

We are a high-trust, fully remote team that values work and the humans behind the work. Our company culture is intentional and formed by a specific set of core values: we strive to be Excellent, Transparent, Accountable, Curious, Teachable, and Redemptive, all while living out the Golden Rule.

Weekly meetings, quarterly people conversations, and an annual company offsite are a few of the liturgies that keep us connected as a remote team. These touch points, along with our core values and regular doses of laughter, form a foundation that allows our team to have fun together, lean into our working geniuses, operate with a high level of accountability and transparency, and work with intense purpose for our clients.

We’re hiring a part-time Sourcing Specialist to support our recruiting team by owning the front end of the talent funnel. This role exists for one simple reason: great recruiting starts with finding great people, and it must be done with consistency and excellence.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for reviewing inbound applications daily as well as proactively identifying prospective candidates through LinkedIn and other sourcing channels. Your work will directly impact the quality and momentum of our searches.

This is a dedicated sourcing role that values sourcing as a craft in its own right and plays a critical role in setting up recruiters – and our clients – for success.

What You’ll Do

• Review inbound applications daily and identify qualified candidates
• Proactively source candidates on LinkedIn based on defined search criteria
• Evaluate candidate profiles for relevant experience, patterns, and potential fit
• Share qualified candidates with recruiters along with clear, concise notes
• Keep sourcing activity and candidate information accurate in the ATS
• Adjust sourcing efforts as priorities shift across active searches
• Work efficiently across multiple roles while maintaining consistency and quality
• Approach candidate outreach with professionalism, clarity, and respect

Who We’re Looking For

This role is a great fit for someone who takes pride in focused, detail-oriented work done efficiently and well, work that builds and sustains momentum on a search. The right person will connect with the values below in practical, everyday ways.

• Be Excellent – You take care with your work. You review applications thoughtfully, source intentionally, and deliver clean, reliable candidate profiles that recruiters can trust.

• Treat Others the Way You Want to Be Treated – You remember there’s a person behind every profile. You approach sourcing and outreach with respect and professionalism, even when working at volume.

• Be Transparent – You communicate clearly about what you’re seeing in the market and how sourcing efforts are going. You keep accurate notes so recruiters have visibility and context.

• Be Accountable – You take ownership of your responsibilities and manage your time well. When you commit to something, people can count on you to follow through.

• Be Curious – You enjoy the hunt and resist easy assumptions. You dig into career paths, look for patterns, and ask “Why might this person be a fit?” You’re also someone who enjoys figuring things out—whether that’s refining a search, learning a new tool, or adapting to new sourcing trends.

• Be Teachable – You’re open to learning new tools, techniques, and approaches. You welcome feedback and want to keep improving how you source and evaluate talent.

• Be Redemptive – You handle feedback and missteps with humility, and you persevere when the going gets tough in a search. You’re focused on learning, improving, and maintaining healthy working relationships with the team.
