What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Sourcer position at Strategic Employment?
About the Role
We're growing our Boston-area sourcing team and looking for a Talent Sourcer to help us keep pace with client demand across sales, tech, and finance searches. This role sits close to the action — you'll partner directly with recruiters and account managers to build candidate pipelines that actually move searches forward, not just fill a spreadsheet. We built this as a hybrid role on purpose: enough in-office time to stay wired into the team's rhythm and pick up context fast, with a remote Friday to give you a stretch of deep, heads-down sourcing time each week. We're also leaning into AI-assisted sourcing as part of how we work, so comfort with tools like Claude or ChatGPT to speed up research, outreach drafting, and candidate screening will make you productive here fast.
About the Firm
Strategic Employment Partners (SEP) has been connecting top talent with leading companies since 2007. We're a national recruiting firm with eight specialized divisions — Technology, Finance, Life Sciences, Legal, Sales, Marketing, and Operations — built on the idea that a white-glove approach beats a transactional one. We take the time to understand what our clients and candidates actually need, rather than just running volume. Our Boston office is part of that national network, giving us the reach of a coast-to-coast firm with the feel of a local team.
