Talent Sourcer

About Remote Raven

Remote Raven is hiring a Talent Sourcer to join our internal team. Remote Raven is a recruitment agency that places remote professionals with US-based client companies, and our sourcing team is the engine behind our 14-day time-to-placement promise. This is a phone-first, metrics-driven sourcing role embedded in a high-velocity agency environment where dials, screens, and submittals are tracked weekly.

As a Remote Raven Talent Sourcer, you are the first point of contact between our agency and the market. You will run high-volume outbound outreach — primarily cold calls, supplemented by Linked In, Indeed Resume, Zip Recruiter, and referral channels — to identify, engage, and qualify candidates across multiple concurrent client searches. You will then hand vetted, interested talent to our recruiters and account managers, who carry the search through to placement.

This role suits someone who treats sourcing as a discipline, not a fallback. You should be energized by a full calendar of outbound activity, comfortable being told no several times before getting a yes, and disciplined enough to keep our ATS clean while still hitting daily dial targets. You'll work independently from your home office, fully remote, on US Mountain Time hours — meaning your workday runs through the evening and overnight in Pakistan Standard Time.

In your first 30 days, you'll ramp into our full ATS workflow, learn our active client roster, and begin contributing screens to live searches. By day 60, you should be consistently hitting weekly sourcing metrics. By day 90, you should have built and delivered talent for at least one specialized or hard-to-fill role.

This is an internal hire — you are joining Remote Raven directly, not being placed at one of our clients.

Responsibilities

Active Talent Sourcing

• Execute 30–50+ outbound calls per day to active and passive candidates across multiple open searches
• Source talent through Linked In (Recruiter, Sales Navigator, or free search), Indeed Resume, Zip Recruiter, referrals, and creative channels
• Build and maintain a candidate pipeline that supports concurrent searches across industries

• Clearly communicate role requirements, compensation ranges, and client expectations
• Assess candidate fit against the brief from our recruiters and flag mismatches early
