Position Overview
We are looking for a strong Sourcing Specialist with experience in IT sourcing and technology consulting to support the recruitment efforts of the project team.
This is not a traditional Recruiter role. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in candidate sourcing, particularly within the IT/technology space, and should be comfortable working with technical requirements and identifying qualified talent.
Candidates with IT Consulting experience are highly preferred. Candidates coming from a full-desk IT recruiting background will also be considered if they have demonstrated strong hands-on sourcing experience.
Key Responsibilities

- Conduct targeted searches for candidates based on technical skills, experience, location, and project requirements.
- Perform initial outreach to prospective candidates and assess their interest and basic alignment with opportunities.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified candidates for current and future hiring needs.
- Partner closely with recruiters and project team members to understand position requirements and sourcing priorities.
- Research and identify candidates with experience across various technology and consulting environments.
- Review candidate profiles and resumes to determine potential fit before presenting candidates to the recruiting team.
- Maintain accurate records of sourcing activities, candidate interactions, and pipeline status within the ATS.
- Use Boolean search techniques and multiple sourcing strategies to identify hard-to-find IT talent.
- Support high-volume and specialized sourcing requirements while maintaining quality and accuracy.
Required Skills & Experience
- 3+ years of experience in IT Sourcing, Technical Sourcing, IT Recruiting, or Technology Consulting.
- Strong hands-on experience sourcing candidates for technical/IT positions.
- Experience working with IT Consulting / Technology Consulting environments is highly preferred.
- Experience with PeopleSoft or similar enterprise software/technology environments is preferred.
- Strong understanding of technical skills, IT job requirements, and technology terminology.
- Experience using job boards, LinkedIn, social media, networking, ATS, and other sourcing tools.
- Strong Boolean search and candidate research skills.
- Excellent communication and candidate engagement skills.
- Ability to work independently in a remote environment and collaborate effectively with recruiters/project teams.
