About the Role

The Talent Sourcer will play a critical role in supporting our high-volume recruiting efforts by identifying, engaging, and qualifying top talent for a variety of roles across Core Weave. You'll partner closely with Recruiters, Hiring Managers, and the broader Talent Acquisition team to build strategic talent pipelines, deliver high-signal shortlists, and help ensure an exceptional candidate experience from first touch through handoff to the recruiter.

This is a fast-paced, impact-driven role where you'll combine research, market insights, and outbound sourcing to keep our most critical pipelines healthy and our hiring teams ahead of demand.

What You'll Do

* Partner with Recruiters and Hiring Managers to understand business priorities, define ideal candidate profiles, and translate intake conversations and job descriptions into clear, executable sourcing strategies.

* Build and manage proactive talent pipelines for priority roles (technical, non-technical, or both, depending on team), continually refreshing and nurturing prospects to stay ahead of future headcount needs.

* Identify and engage high-quality passive candidates through tools such as Linked In Recruiter, Gem projects, networking, referrals, and market research, tailoring outreach to Core Weave's value proposition and each candidate's background.

* Qualify candidates for role and level fit via resume review and high-signal screening questions, then deliver calibrated, well-documented shortlists to Recruiters and Hiring Managers.

* Tell the Core Weave story in a compelling, candidate-centric way, clearly communicating our products, teams, and opportunities while setting expectations around role scope, level, interview process, and compensation bands.

* Collaborate closely with Recruiters and Coordinators to ensure smooth handoffs, timely scheduling, and a consistent, high-quality experience for every candidate you touch.

* Use data to drive decisions, tracking response rates, pipeline health, and conversion metrics, and sharing market feedback and competitive insights with Talent Acquisition and business partners.

* Maintain clean, accurate data in our ATS and sourcing tools, including structured notes, tags, and status updates, to enable reporting, compliance, and future re-engagement.

* Contribute to sourcing best practices and playbooks, including messaging templates, talent maps, and calibration examples, and share learnings with the broader Talent team.

* Support special projects as needed, such as talent mapping for new markets, event-based sourcing, or standing up pipelines for new teams or locations.

Who You Are

* Experience as a Sourcer or Recruiter working on high-volume or hard-to-fill roles, ideally within technology, data centers, cloud infrastructure, or adjacent industries.

* Proven ability to build and manage outbound pipelines, including researching target companies, titles, and markets, and iterating based on feedback from the hiring team.

* Comfortable using tools like Linked In Recruiter, Gem, and ATS/CRM platforms to organize searches, track outreach, and report on progress.

* Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can quickly tailor outreach to different personas and clearly articulate Core Weave's mission and opportunities.

* Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple searches and stakeholders at once while keeping pipelines moving and data clean.

* Collaborative, low-ego, and comfortable working in a fast-changing, high-growth environment where processes are evolving and speed matters.

Preferred

* Experience sourcing for technical roles (e.g., data center operations, infrastructure engineering, GPU/cloud, or similar) in addition to non-technical roles.

* Familiarity with Greenhouse, Gem, and internal enablement tools such as Notion, Confluence, or similar platforms.

* Background supporting new site launches, large-scale hiring initiatives, or hyper-growth environments where priorities shift quickly and pipelines need to be built from the ground up.
