Talent Sourcer, Valon Mortgage

• 2+ years of sourcing experience, ideally across technical and/or business roles
• Demonstrated ability to handle high req volume without sacrificing calibration
• Strong written communication
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shifting priorities
• A bias toward action and iteration in fast-paced environments
• We’re looking for someone who can’t help but want to be world-class at sourcing
• Actively seeks feedback and performance data
• Cares about outcomes, not optics
• Treats sourcing as a craft to be sharpened, not a task to complete
• Feels uncomfortable when they plateau and actively looks for ways to get better

Desirable

• You’ll be a high-volume, high-judgment sourcer responsible for building top-of-funnel pipelines across technical, operational, and leadership roles
• Your job is not just to find candidates, but to consistently surface well-calibrated talent that moves through the process
• Sourcing is not a support function here. It’s a core input to recruiting quality
• This role is for someone who cares deeply about the craft of sourcing and wants to get better at it through feedback, data, and iteration
• You’ll have visibility into how your candidates perform end-to-end, and you’ll be expected to use that data to get sharper over time
• Source for Product, Engineering, Data, Deployment, Product Ops, and Executive roles
• Manage multiple active searches simultaneously in a fast-moving environment
• Balance speed and accuracy as req priorities shift
• Be measured on the percentage of sourced candidates who pass RPS and advance to offer, with the goal of continuously improving calibration
• Actively track outcomes of your candidates and adjust sourcing strategies accordingly
• Seek out more signal: what profiles convert, where candidates stall, why offers happen
• Understand role nuance (what matters vs. what doesn’t)
• Learn quickly when profiles aren’t landing, and correct course without being told twice
• Operate as a thought partner, not a resume generator
• Pressure-test profiles before sharing
• Provide clear notes and rationale for why candidates are a strong match
• Incorporate recruiter and hiring manager feedback quickly
• Proactively flag market insights, talent trends, or role feasibility issues
• Experiment with sourcing strategies and learn from results
• Use metrics, market data, and feedback loops to improve
• Leverage tools, automation, and AI where they meaningfully increase quality or speed
• Develop sourcing strategies that scale (projects, talent pools, reusable searches)
• Help improve how Valon sources, not just fill today’s reqs
• What “Good” Looks Like:
• Your sourced candidates consistently pass screens and progress
• Recruiters trust your judgment and seek your input
• You notice patterns before others do and adjust without being asked
• You’re fast, but never sloppy
• Your sourcing quality improves quarter over quarter
• This role is designed to grow
• For someone who demonstrates strong judgment, calibration, and ownership, there is a clear path to full-cycle recruiting over time. That transition is earned through sustained quality, not tenure
