The Role

What if your skills mattered more than your job title?

At AMS, we’re building teams that are curious, collaborative, and committed to doing great work.

We are seeking a data-driven, strategic Talent Acquisition Sourcing Manager to build, lead, and scale our talent sourcing function. In this role, you will lead a team of talent sourcers while directly driving proactive pipeline strategies to identify, attract, and engage top-tier passive candidates across hard-to-fill, technical, and executive disciplines.

You will combine market intelligence, advanced search methodologies, diversity sourcing initiatives, and CRM analytics to transform our sourcing team into a proactive talent engine that drives long-term hiring growth.

Key Accountabilities

What you’ll do:

• Leadership & Coaching: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of Talent Sourcers; set clear performance targets, key metrics (outreach volume, response rates, screen-to-interview ratios), and professional development plans.

• Capacity Planning: Manage sourcing allocation and workload balancing across business units, prioritizing high-impact and critical-path requisitions.

• Sourcing Capability Building: Train the team on cutting-edge sourcing techniques, boolean search strategies, AI-driven discovery tools, talent mapping, and competitive intelligence gathering.

• Proactive Talent Mapping: Design and execute strategic talent mapping and market research projects to identify talent clusters, competitor organizational structures, and passive candidate pools.

Skills & Requirements

• Outreach Campaign Execution: Develop multi-touch engagement campaigns and personalized outreach strategies that achieve industry-leading response rates from passive talent.

• DE&I Sourcing Programs: Build and embed equitable sourcing frameworks to ensure diverse representation across all candidate pipelines from first touch to top-of-funnel conversion.

• Talent Community Management: Oversee talent CRM strategies to keep past candidates, silver medalists, and passive networks engaged for future roles.

• Metrics & Insights: Track, analyze, and present sourcing conversion metrics, channel ROI, and market intelligence to Talent Acquisition leadership and business executives.

• Stack & Tooling Ownership: Evaluate, implement, and optimize sourcing tools, platforms, and vendors (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, sourcing CRMs, data enrichment tools, AI platforms).

• Recruiter & Hiring Manager Alignment: Partner closely with TA Managers and Recruiting Lead partners to calibrate candidate profiles, refine intake requirements, and ensure seamless hand-offs from sourcer to recruiter.

If you don’t meet every requirement but you feel you have the right skills and potential, we want to hear from you.
