What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tech Sourcing Recruiter, AWS position at Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Description
Would you like to be part of a recruiting team that is responsible for fueling the rapid growth of AWS? Do you thrive in high growth ambiguous environments? Are you a process-oriented data driven leader that loves to dive deep to fix complex operational challenges allowing for greater scalability and global impact?
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Recruiting team is seeking a talented, customer focused recruiter with a passion for delighting the client and candidate, to join our recruiting organization. You will be supporting AWS teams dedicated to working on behalf of our commercial sector customers to drive candidate generation strategies in partnership with your clients.
Successful recruiters on this team will utilize their experience in setting benchmarks, forecasting and tracking against metrics while prioritizing to meet hiring targets. They thrive in an innovative, fast-paced environment, can roll up their sleeves, work hard, and have fun to get the job done. They draw on extensive knowledge of Talent Acquisition and functional areas of the business, forging dynamic relationships with business leaders and hiring managers.
Key job responsibilities
You will spend your days building and managing Tech talent pipelines across the entire AWS organization — no two searches are the same, and no two businesses are alike. From developing deep expertise in the specific AWS flywheels you are aligned to, to collaborating across the team to find the right home for candidates across all of AWS, your work sits at the intersection of precision and scale. You will engage passive, world-class software engineering talent through proactive outreach, sourcing sessions, referral campaigns, and target company mapping — while leveraging AI-powered tools at every stage, from intake and sourcing to recruiter screens and prep calls, to move faster and smarter. Because our team operates across all of AWS, when a candidate isn't the right fit for one org, the answer is rarely "no" — it's "let's find where they belong."
About The Team
The AWS Sourcing Team is the center of excellence for Tech hiring across AWS — and one of the highest-performing sourcing teams in the company. We are a specialized team of experts who operate at the AWS level, supporting Tech hiring across the entire AWS organization. Each member develops deep expertise in the specific AWS flywheels they are aligned to, while leveraging the team's cross-AWS reach to find the right home for every candidate.
What sets this team apart is its culture — collaboration, teamwork, and genuine investment in each other's growth are at the core of how we operate. We work closely together, share knowledge freely, and know how to have fun along the way. We are looking for a Sourcing Recruiter with strong business acumen, a passion for passive talent engagement, and a team-first mindset.
