As TRM expands across APAC and other global markets, our ability to hire the right sellers, compliance experts, and go-to-market talent in-region determines how fast our blockchain intelligence reaches the institutions and agencies fighting illicit finance worldwide. As an Sales Recruiting Sourcer, you will be critical in identifying, engaging, and attracting exceptional GTM talent for highly specialized and nuanced roles. You will develop and execute sourcing strategies that resonate with our company’s values, prioritize candidate experience, and meet ambitious goals for hiring velocity. This role is ideal for a sourcer with a passion for innovative sourcing strategies, a knack for data-driven insights, and the ability to build strong relationships.

Your success is measured by the quality, velocity, and business impact of the hires you make across TRM's international business functions.

The impact you'll have:

• Own sourcing for international roles across Sales, Post-Sales, Compliance, Marketing, and other functions.

• Develop and implement strategic sourcing initiatives specifically tailored for GTM roles. This includes creating and refining outreach programs to engage top talent aligned with TRM Labs' leadership principles.

• Conduct a high volume of targeted outreach to potential candidates weekly, maintaining a conversion rate of 20%+ on responses. This involves crafting meaningful, personalized messages to effectively engage passive candidates and nurture a robust pipeline.

• Collaborate closely with hiring managers and the talent team, providing data-driven insights and updates on sourcing progress and market trends. This partnership role is crucial in shaping search strategies and ensuring alignment with TRM Labs' hiring objectives.

• Rapidly onboard to new positions, demonstrating resilience and agility in understanding each position’s specific requirements and nuances. This includes proactively going the extra mile to master role-specific terminology, skills, and team needs to deliver immediate sourcing impact.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of sourcing experience specifically for senior sales and GTM talent

• Proven experience in sourcing hard-to-find positions, with expertise in using sourcing tools, conducting market research, and developing personalized outreach strategies.

• Ability to analyze and interpret sourcing metrics, conversion rates, and market data, using these insights to refine sourcing strategies and provide actionable feedback to hiring managers.

• Strong persistence and a results-oriented mindset to handle challenges, follow up on passive leads, and meet ambitious outreach targets.

• The ability to quickly understand complex business roles across GTM, compliance, marketing, and operations.

• Exceptional stakeholder management that includes building trust, influencing hiring managers, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for stakeholders.

• High ownership, autonomy, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, specialized, business-critical searches.

• The ability to operate effectively in a remote, globally distributed environment with strong overlap across APAC and U.S. business hours.

About the team:

• Our talent team is fully remote and async-first. We keep work moving across time zones through Slack, thorough documentation, and proactive updates.

• We stay tightly aligned through weekly hiring syncs, team sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings where we solve challenges together.

• We care deeply about our craft: we continuously refine best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for candidates and internal stakeholders alike, backed by precise, reliable reporting.

• We're globally distributed but most of us overlap between 7am–12pm PST for real-time collaboration.

• Every team member, wherever they're based, maintains at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours.
