Hex is scaling quickly, and the quality of our team is the single biggest driver of that. We're looking for a Technical Sourcer who treats sourcing as a craft and a system, someone who can build repeatable pathways to finding exceptional technical talent including engineers, designers, and product builders. This isn't a role about running the same LinkedIn playbook - we’re looking for creativity in using AI tooling to unlock sourcing capacity, and find delightful ways to engage passive talent who aren’t even thinking about their next role yet. You'll own how we discover and rediscover talent, and you'll use AI to do it with far more precision, personalization, and leverage than a traditional sourcing motion allows. If you like the idea of being early to a genuinely new way of working and setting the standard the rest of the team learns from, this role is for you.

• Own top-of-funnel sourcing strategy for our hardest technical searches across Engineering, AI, Infra, Product, and Design, going narrow on niche roles and building stacked funnels for evergreen ones.

• Build and run an AI-forward sourcing stack: use AI sourcing tools, agents, and automation (e.g. Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, GitHub, etc.) to power discovery, enrichment, and outreach at the top of the funnel.

• Design and iterate on AI-assisted outreach that engineers actually respond to: highly personalized, technically credible, and human. You'll build the prompts, templates, and workflows the team reuses.

• Map deep talent pools and competitive companies to surface "undiscovered" candidates, not just the obvious ones on LinkedIn.

• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to calibrate profiles in real time, then translate that into precise, searchable criteria.

• Track conversion and response rates, A/B test messaging, and use data to pivot when a search goes stale.

• Continuously evaluate new AI sourcing tools and share what works, helping raise the bar for how the whole Talent team sources.

• 4+ years of technical/engineering sourcing experience, ideally at a high-growth startup

• Fluent with AI tooling for recruiting: you've already used (or are eager to master) AI sourcing tools, agents, and automation, and you have a point of view on where they help and where they don't.

  • You've built sourcing programs, pipelines, or AI/automation workflows from scratch rather than inheriting them.

• Technically literate: you can read a GitHub profile, skim a research paper or engineering blog, and understand what makes someone exceptional rather than just experienced.

• A precise operator: organized in your systems, calibration, market mapping and pipeline updates

• Comfort with ambiguity; you have urgency about what you do and operate without a ton of instruction

• Creativity: you’re not bringing the same LinkedIn playbook to attract engineering talent, you think outside the box on how we can create unique touch points that having a lasting impression.

• You care about the candidate experience: your outreach feels human (even when AI helped write it), you move folks through quickly, you prioritize updating candidates and you know how to advocate for them early in the process.

• Experience with Ashby, and sourcing tools like Gem, Juicebox, Noon, Metaview, etc.

The salary range for this role is: $120,000 - $150,000
