Technical Sourcer

About the Team

Decagon’s Talent team partners directly with company leadership to shape org design, define what success looks like, and hire the people who will shape our future. We’re Gen AI-native and constantly pushing the boundaries of how Talent teams operate - moving fast, solving hard problems, and playing a critical role in building a world-class organization.

About the Role

Decagon is growing quickly and we’re looking for a Technical Sourcer to help us find and engage exceptional technical talent.

You’ll work closely with our Recruiters and Engineering leaders to identify the people we want at Decagon and figure out how to get them excited about what we’re building. You’ll own top-of-funnel across some of our highest-priority technical searches, from mapping talent markets and identifying great candidates to crafting outreach and building relationships.

We care more about raw ability, drive, and potential than whether you’ve followed a traditional recruiting career path. This could be a great fit for an agency recruiter looking to move in-house, a Recruiting Coordinator or Sourcer ready to take on more ownership, or someone from a high-velocity sales environment who wants to build a career in Talent.

In this role, you will

• Source and engage exceptional talent across Engineering and other technical roles

• Build creative sourcing strategies for competitive and hard-to-fill searches

• Develop a strong understanding of technical profiles and what differentiates great engineers

• Research companies, teams, and talent markets to identify candidates others might miss

• Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that gets candidates excited about Decagon

• Partner closely with Recruiters and hiring managers to understand their teams, calibrate on talent, and continuously improve searches

• Build relationships with candidates and create an exceptional experience from the first interaction

• Experiment with AI and new tools to make sourcing faster, smarter, and more effective

• Take on increasing ownership across the recruiting process as you grow

Your background looks something like this

• 3+ years of professional experience, ideally in sourcing, agency recruiting, recruiting coordination, sales, or another high-velocity environment

• You’re highly motivated and want to accelerate your career

• You’re naturally curious and enjoy learning how companies, teams, and technologies work

• You’re a strong communicator and comfortable reaching out to and building relationships with people you don’t know

• You’re resourceful and willing to try different approaches when the obvious answer doesn’t work

• You’re organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities at once

• You thrive in fast-moving environments with high expectations

Even better if you have

• Experience sourcing or recruiting technical talent

• Experience at a recruiting agency or executive search firm

• A track record of outperforming goals or taking on responsibility quickly

• Genuine interest in AI, startups, and technology

• A competitive streak and a desire to become exceptional at your craft

Compensation

$110k - $160k + equity

• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family

• Life Insurance and Disability Benefits

• Retirement Plan (e.g., 401K, pension)

• Parental Leave
