We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam. Our EPD Recruiting team builds the teams that build Plaid. We partner with leaders across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and Security to deliver thoughtful, candidate-first recruiting experiences that raise the bar for how we scale. We are responsible for delivering world-class technical talent through pragmatic, data-informed, and principle-aligned recruiting practices. We believe the hardest hires are won upstream, in the research and the reach-out, long before a loop is ever scheduled. Our mission is to help Plaid grow intentionally by hiring exceptional people who share our values and drive our mission to unlock financial freedom for everyone.
We are hiring a Technical Sourcer to build the pipelines for Plaid’s core Engineering and Data Science population. You will own the top of the funnel across one or multiple tech pipelines, from market research and pipeline strategy through to qualified candidates entering the interview process. You will carry a high req load across multiple teams at once, and you will do it without losing the details that make a pipeline trustworthy. You will also turn what you learn into intelligence the team can use: where the talent actually sits, what competitors are building and paying for, and what a role needs to look like to be winnable. The quality of what enters our funnel shapes every hiring decision downstream.
Responsibilities
- Own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for technical reqs across Software Engineering or Data Science. You build the pipeline, engage and qualify the candidate, and hand off a qualified, well-briefed person to the recruiter.
- Run talent research. Market maps, org mapping, open-source and technical community research, and advanced boolean and x-ray search across sources most people do not think to check.
- Write outreach that gets answered. You personalize based on what someone has actually built, you test your messaging, and you own your response rate as a number you can explain.
- Operate at volume without losing precision. You run multiple searches at once with disciplined follow-up cadences, accurate ATS hygiene, and clean data that others can trust.
- Turn research into intelligence. Build market maps, talent density views, and competitive hiring insights, then bring them to recruiters and hiring managers to shape role scope, leveling, and search strategy.
- Build diverse pipelines by design, through the breadth of your research and the inclusivity of your outreach, not as a screening step at the end.
- Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers on calibration. You bring the market back into the room when a role as written is not findable, and you propose what would make it winnable.
- Track and report your funnel. Response rate, screen pass rate, and stage conversion tell you where to spend your next hour. Use them, and share what they say.
- Represent Plaid authentically. You are often a candidate's first impression of us, and that first conversation sets the tone for everything after it.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of technical sourcing experience, including in-house sourcing at a high-growth technology company.
- Strong sourcing research technique and tooling: boolean and x-ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub and technical communities, publications and conference sources, and CRM or ATS sourcing workflows. You can find people who are not searchable by just title or company name.
- Demonstrated success in high-volume, high-urgency environments, carrying multiple technical searches at once without dropping the details.
- Genuine fluency in technical skill sets. You can read a job spec, a GitHub profile, or a research paper and make a defensible call on relevance.
- Strong written and verbal communication. Your outreach is short, specific, and human, and senior engineers reply to it.
- Data discipline. You use funnel metrics to decide where to spend effort, and you can explain your pipeline with numbers rather than anecdotes.
- Meticulous attention to detail and personal ownership of your data hygiene. If your pipeline data is wrong, no one downstream can plan.
- A candidate-first approach built on empathy, transparency, and consistent follow-through.
NICE-TO-HAVE
- Experience sourcing in fintech, financial services, or another regulated environment.
- Experience producing talent intelligence or market mapping work that was presented to senior leadership and changed a hiring decision.
- Experience building sourcing playbooks or evaluating and rolling out sourcing tooling.
- Experience sourcing for distributed teams.
- Familiarity with inclusive sourcing practices and a track record of building diverse technical pipelines.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Technical Sourcer
Align your degree to talent acquisition
USCIS evaluates whether your degree field directly relates to your duties. A degree in human resources, industrial psychology, or organizational behavior maps cleanly to Technical Sourcer work. Document that connection explicitly in your resume and any employer-prepared support letters.
Search LCA filings for sourcing roles
Use Migrate Mate to find employers with verified H-1B visa LCA filings for talent acquisition and recruiting positions. Filtering by role type shows you which companies have already built the compliance infrastructure to sponsor a Technical Sourcer.
Target companies with dedicated HR compliance teams
Employers who run internal H-1B programs at scale, typically large technology companies or staffing-heavy enterprises, have established relationships with immigration counsel. Those teams process LCAs faster and are less likely to withdraw an offer when sponsorship complexity surfaces late in hiring.
Verify worksite coverage before accepting an offer
If you'll source candidates across multiple offices or work in a hybrid model, your employer must file a certified LCA for each physical worksite. Confirm during the offer stage which locations are covered so there are no gaps when you start.
Prepare a specialty occupation documentation packet
Because sourcing roles are sometimes confused with general HR coordinator work, your petition benefits from a detailed job duties breakdown. Work with your employer's immigration attorney to show that your day-to-day tasks require and use degree-level knowledge, not just administrative coordination.
Understand your 60-day grace period between roles
If your sponsoring employer lays you off or you resign, USCIS allows a 60-day grace period to find a new H-1B sponsor before your status is considered violated. Use that window to identify employers actively filing LCAs for Technical Sourcer positions, not just those with open requisitions.
H-1B Visa Technical Sourcer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Sourcer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in human resources, industrial psychology, organizational behavior, or a directly related field. The employer must demonstrate in the I-129 petition that the role requires and applies that specific body of knowledge. Sourcing roles framed as general coordination work without a degree requirement do not qualify, so the job description must reflect degree-level duties.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Technical Sourcers?
Technology companies, large-scale staffing firms, and enterprise employers with dedicated talent acquisition teams are the most consistent sponsors for this role. You can browse employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filings for recruiting and sourcing positions on Migrate Mate, which shows companies that have already navigated the LCA process for this job category.
How long does H-1B status last for a Technical Sourcer?
H-1B status is approved in three-year increments and can be extended up to a six-year maximum. Beyond six years, continued stay requires an approved immigrant visa petition or a pending green card application that meets specific milestones under AC21 portability rules. Your employer's immigration counsel can advise on the green card timeline if you plan to stay longer.
What happens to my H-1B if my employer changes my work location?
Each worksite where you perform duties must have its own DOL-certified LCA listing the correct prevailing wage for that location. If your employer moves you to a new office or adds a remote worksite not covered by the existing LCA, they must file and certify a new LCA before you begin work there. This requirement applies even for temporary assignments and hybrid arrangements with an unlisted worksite.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change sourcing jobs?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer once they file an H-1B transfer petition on your behalf, as long as your current status is valid. The new employer must file their own LCA and I-129, and the Technical Sourcer role at the new company must still meet the specialty occupation standard. You don't need to leave the country or restart the cap selection process.
