Neko Health Sourcer at Neko Health partners with Recruiters to own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for senior and complex searches. The role focuses on creative sourcing and building pipelines for hard-to-fill roles.
Responsibilities
How This Role Works With Recruiters
You own the top of the funnel for the searches you are assigned: who we approach, how, and whether they respond. You hand warm, qualified candidates to the Recruiter, who keeps assessment, hiring manager partnership, candidate management and close. You join hiring manager conversations alongside the Recruiter to calibrate the target profile, and Recruiters run the process.
Sourcer support is reserved for a named list of Neko’s most senior and complex searches, agreed on a rolling basis with the TA Team leader or Head of Talent Acquisition. You work most closely with the Recruiters on those searches, share market intelligence and outreach practice with them and with peers, and are supported by the Lead Sourcer, who sets sourcing strategy and standards for the wider team.
