Partner with Leadership Recruiters and executives to deeply understand the charter behind each role and calibrate profiles with accuracy and nuance—including pushing back when the market says the scope or level is mis-specified
Run discreet, peer-level outreach that earns a reply from leaders who aren't looking, with the discretion confidential searches require
Track and analyze pipeline data—coverage against the map, response and conversion by segment, pass reasons—to drive continuous optimization of the search
Operate with agility, adapting quickly to shifting priorities, confidential searches, and changing team needs
Exceptional technical literacy, comfortable navigating complex technical conversations, parsing nuanced skill sets, and understanding the architecture of software and AI roles—plus the judgment to assess scope of ownership and org-building track record
Proven experience sourcing senior and leadership talent in highly dynamic and fast-paced environments where priorities shift and ambiguity is constant
A builder's instinct for AI: eager to adopt new tools, automate your own workflow, and experiment with how AI can make sourcing faster and sharper
Creativity and resilience: the ability to design novel sourcing strategies, test new methods, and adapt quickly when faced with challenges
Excellent communication skills, with the credibility to hold a peer-level conversation with a senior leader and build trust with both candidates and internal partner teams
