Company mission
To solve the unique challenges of frontline work with truly intelligent AI that empowers every employee.
Role
Who you are
- Proven experience sourcing for complex, high-bar roles, agency or in-house, ideally for early-stage tech companies
- Skilled in market mapping and consistently on the lookout for ways to improve your outbound approach
- Enjoy the challenge of a tough search and recognise the impact great hiring has on our success
- Comfortable using data to consistently improve your process and communicate progress
- Curious and commercially minded, you want to learn about how our business works and the 'why' behind every hire
What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll directly support that mission by leading the outbound strategy for our most complex and urgent hires as our first Talent Partner focused on sourcing
- With a global and business-wide remit, it’s an opportunity to work closely with a small, experienced Talent team, and senior leaders, to engage the strongest candidates out there through an exceptional story and employer brand paired with high quality outbound strategy
- Build high-quality outbound pipelines for our 2–3 most critical roles across all teams and geographies
- Own the market maps, target company lists, and reporting that underpin the sourcing function
- Build and nurture priority talent pools that support our future hires, including referrals, repeat hires, and diverse talent
- Contribute to candidate-facing content and collateral to strengthen the employer brand you take to market
- Implement AI and other tools to scale outbound sourcing
- Expand into owning end-to-end hiring when volume is high
Salary benchmarks
Our take
80% of people don’t work at desks, but the technology for deskless workers only attracts 1% of all enterprise software investment. Consequently, little software has been designed to benefit the frontline. Sona is a workforce technology startup setting out to help solve this issue, building an all-in-one platform specially designed to empower frontline workers and help their employers retain staff and operate more efficiently.
By using its app, users can view and claim shifts, communicate with their colleagues, and book holidays. Moreover, Sona has additional modules for HR, Payroll, and Engagement, so customers can manage all of their people operations in one place, or integrate with their existing tools.
Sona is an early-stage startup, yet already counts big names across Social Care, Hospitality, and the Charities sector who have combined to book millions of shifts on the Sona platform.
