TechnicalTalentSourcer

The Role Bobyard just doubled the team and we're doing it again. Most sourcers send volume. You won't. You'll build systems that surface the right engineers, designers, and operators — people who are exceptional but not broadcasting it — and get them into conversations before they're actively looking. This role is ideal for someone who treats sourcing as applied research — not spray-and-pray outreach. What You'll Do - Own top-of-funnel. Build and manage candidate pipelines for technical roles: engineers, product, design, go-to-market. Define what "qualified" means before a single message goes out. - Source proactively. GitHub, LinkedIn, research corpora, niche communities, referral networks. Find people who aren't on the market yet. - Write outreach that converts. Craft messaging that is precise, respectful, and relevant. No generic templates. Every message earns a reply or teaches you something. - Build the research layer. Compile structured candidate profiles — background, signal, fit hypothesis — so the hiring team can move fast with context. - Instrument the funnel. Track source quality, response rates, and pipeline health. Surface what's working and kill what isn't. - Partner with the Talent Engineer. Feed signal into automation workflows. Help identify where manual work can be systematized without losing quality. - Represent Bobyard well. Every candidate touchpoint is a brand moment. You're often the first impression of who we are and why this company matters. Desired experience - 2–4 years of sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally for technical roles at an early-stage startup - Skilled at reading a resume, a GitHub profile, or a LinkedIn and quickly forming a fit hypothesis - Strong writer — your outreach gets replies because it's thoughtful, not because it's volume - Comfortable operating without a full playbook. You figure it out, then document it - Data-literate: you track your pipeline, know your conversion rates, and use that to improve - Familiar wi
