## Description

Some roles can’t be filled with a standard search. Talent Discovery is the part of MongoDB’s Talent Acquisition team that finds and builds relationships with the people we want to hire. As a Talent Sourcer on the Talent Discovery team, you’ll work on our hardest-to-fill, niche, and business-critical roles, and build talent pipelines for the roles we hire for again and again. This work is deep research and real conversations: you’ll dig into adjacent markets and unconventional talent pools, find people who aren’t looking, and earn their interest in MongoDB.

You’ll partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand what a search really needs, build a targeted plan for finding it, and hand off strong, well-documented slates and pipelines as candidates move into formal interviews.

This role can be based out of our office or remotely in the United States.

## In this role, you will

- Own and drive the sourcing plan. Turn hiring needs into a clear search strategy, align stakeholders on the target profile, and lead the approach from there

- Map talent markets. Use tools like Gem, SeekOut, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and X-ray search to research scarce talent pools and track talent movement, including competitors, adjacent markets, and emerging companies and geographies.

- Reach out to candidates with intent. Write personal, informed outreach that reflects each person’s background and what would motivate them, not keyword matching.

- Build long-term relationships. Engage and nurture passive candidates over time, so MongoDB is top of mind when the right role opens.

- Qualify beyond the resume. Run conversations that surface what motivates each candidate, and keep them informed and interested as searches progress.

- Hand off with full context. Present qualified slates and pipelines to recruiters and hiring managers, including each candidate’s background, motivations, fit, and history.

- Share what you learn. Bring market insight back to the recruiting team, such as where talent is and what competitors are doing.

- Keep the CRM/ATS clean. Keep search progress, pipeline health, and relationship history visible to the whole team.

## You are someone who has

- 2 years of experience in sourcing, research, or recruiting, ideally including niche or hard-to-fill searches

- Sharp research instincts and the confidence to take an unclear hiring need and shape it into a clear search strategy

- A track record of engaging passive candidates and sustaining those relationships over time

- Working knowledge of sourcing and market-intelligence tools (e.g., Gem, SeekOut, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, X-ray search, or equivalents)

- Experience using AI in sourcing and research, and good judgment about where it helps and where human judgment has to lead

- Excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to build trust with someone who isn’t looking for a job

- Strong attention to data hygiene and follow-through

- A collaborative mindset: you’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers, and you want to see your work turn into hires
