Technical Talent Attraction Strategist

Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire Technical Talent Attraction Strategists for our Talent Acquisition Team. 

Why join Sprout’s Talent Acquisition team?

Sprout believes that every customer deserves a world-class experience and that we should be a joy to do business with. In Talent Acquisition, we feel the same way about our candidates. Relationship-building is who we are and how we roll. As a member of our team, you’ll play a key role in supporting Sprout’s rapid growth, you’ll have the opportunity to form partnerships across the entire business, and you’ll help connect exceptional talent to life-changing career opportunities. Not only will you get to represent a beloved product but also a company that lives its values and truly cares about its employees. Plus, our team culture is like no other—we win together and live to celebrate each other’s successes.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for Technical Talent Attraction Strategists who are passionate about finding great people and building strong talent pipelines. In this role, you’ll be a key player in helping us hire across engineering, data science, product, and design teams by identifying and engaging top talent—and making sure we’re set up for both today’s hiring needs and what’s coming next.

• Own and manage the top of the funnel for assigned roles, including proactive sourcing and high-quality application review.
• Proactively identify and engage top talent, especially passive candidates, across engineering, data science, product, and design roles.
• Build and nurture diverse talent pipelines aligned to current and anticipated hiring needs.
• Review inbound applicants to identify qualified prospects early and maintain momentum through the funnel.
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to define ideal candidate profiles and shape sourcing strategies.
• Leverage sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ, social media, etc.) and automation to maximize reach and impact.
• Track outreach and conversion metrics to understand what’s working and continuously optimize sourcing strategies.
• Conduct initial candidate conversations to assess experience, motivation, and fit before advancing candidates to recruiters.
• Support Sprout’s employer brand through candidate outreach that reflects our values and culture.
• Embed inclusive sourcing practices into every stage of your work.

What you’ll bring

You’re someone who genuinely loves sourcing. You get energy from finding amazing talent, reaching out, and building real connections. You don’t see sourcing as a stepping stone, you see it as a craft, and you take pride in being great at it. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to be on the front lines: actively engaging with candidates, shaping their first impression of Sprout, and helping hiring teams see what’s possible. This isn’t a back-office research role. We want someone who thrives on outreach, loves the hunt, and knows that the best hires often start with a thoughtful cold message. If you're curious, resourceful, data-savvy, and energized by finding and connecting with great people, we’d love to meet you!

The minimum qualifications for this role include:

• 5+ years of sourcing for engineering, data science, product, and design roles within the tech/SaaS industry
• 3+ years of experience sourcing passive candidates in an outbound capacity
• Experience sourcing in competitive global job markets, with knowledge of local hiring trends and talent pools
• Experience using sourcing automation tools to engage talent and in developing efficient, CRM-driven prospecting workflows

Preferred qualifications for this role include:

• Strong ability to build relationships with hiring managers, recruiters, and cross-functional teams across multiple time zones
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence candidates and stakeholders at all levels

How you’ll grow

Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:

• Experience Sprout’s in-depth onboarding, covering everything from our company mission and values, hearing directly from executives and founders to deep training on our products and the value that Sprout delivers to our customers.
• Make a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s approach to talent acquisition.
• Develop relationships with hiring managers to understand roles and their talent needs. Conduct initial 1:1s with hiring managers and other strategic partners throughout the company to identify a successful relationship and how you wi
