The Overture Group, LLC
Lisle, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 8/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/28/2026

The Overture Group is looking for an Executive Search Researcher & Sourcer to join our executive search team.


We are a retained executive search and compensation consulting firm focused primarily on middle-market organizations. This role will work closely with the recruiters leading our searches to identify executive talent, map markets, and improve how we research and source candidates.

We are looking for someone who is highly resourceful, strong at finding difficult-to-identify talent, and interested in using AI, automation, and emerging technology to make the research process better.


What You'll Do

  • Research and source candidates across multiple executive searches
  • Build target company lists, market maps, and candidate pipelines
  • Develop and refine sourcing strategies with the recruiters leading each search
  • Identify candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, databases, web research, professional networks, and other sourcing channels
  • Research companies, industries, leadership teams, and talent markets
  • Provide market intelligence on talent availability, compensation, and competitors
  • Use AI and emerging technologies to improve sourcing, research, and data management
  • Help strengthen our overall research methodology and sourcing process


What We're Looking For

  • 3 years of research, sourcing, talent intelligence, or recruiting experience
  • Executive search research or sourcing experience strongly preferred
  • Strong LinkedIn Recruiter and Boolean search capabilities
  • Demonstrated ability to find candidates beyond traditional LinkedIn searches
  • Strong research, organization, and data-management skills
  • Curiosity about AI, automation, and new sourcing technologies
  • A resourceful and persistent approach to difficult searches


Career Growth

Research & Sourcing is a career path of its own at The Overture Group. Someone who enjoys this work can grow by taking on increasingly complex searches, improving our sourcing tools and methodology, and eventually taking broader ownership of the research function.


For someone interested in broader search execution and client interaction, there is also a path into our Executive Recruiter track.


If you enjoy research, technology, and the challenge of finding exceptional talent that is not easy to find, we'd like to talk.
