Sourcer

How is this different from a traditional recruiter or headhunter?

Traditional recruiters work from job boards and passive databases. We identify and approach specific people who fit your exact criteria. We use advanced research tools, financial filings, press releases, and industry intelligence to find passive candidates at the companies you'd want them from. We don't spam LinkedIn or rely on pre-vetted lists. We map talent pipelines and approach people who aren't looking but are perfect for your role.

What types of roles do you source for?

We specialize in C-suite and VP-level positions across finance, operations, technology, and revenue. This includes CFOs, Controllers, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Product, VPs of Operations, COOs, Chief Revenue Officers, VPs of Sales, and board-level advisory talent. We also source for functional leadership across fintech, SaaS, private equity, and scale-stage companies.

How long does a sourcing engagement take?

Focused sourcing engagements typically take 3-4 weeks to identify and approach candidates. Full retained searches take 8-12 weeks depending on seniority and complexity. Quarterly pipeline arrangements run ongoing with consistent candidate flow.

What's your success rate?

We place passive candidates who actually convert to interviews. Our candidates are pre-vetted by their current employers, so the caliber is consistently high. Most passive candidates we approach have genuine interest in the right opportunity. Success rates vary by role specificity and timeline, but we don't pursue sourcing engagements we don't believe we can fill.

How much does sourcing cost?

Fees are quoted based on role level, scope, timeline, and engagement type. Focused sourcing for a single role is different from a quarterly pipeline. We discuss scope and fee upfront in writing before anything starts. No percentage of salary. No surprise success fees.

Why should I use a sourcer instead of posting a job or hiring a traditional recruiter?

Passive candidates are employed and happy, so they're less likely to leave mid-search. They're proven by their current companies. Most won't respond to job postings. Traditional recruiters work from limited networks. We actively identify people who fit your exact criteria from companies and networks you specify.

Can you source for multiple roles at once?

Yes. We offer quarterly pipeline engagements where you give us 2-4 open roles and we provide consistent candidate flow throughout the quarter. This works well for companies scaling leadership teams.

What industries do you have the deepest networks in?

Fintech and payments, SaaS and cloud infrastructure, private equity and portfolio companies, venture capital, and operations-heavy businesses. We also have strong networks in Europe and Asia for companies expanding internationally.

How do you approach candidates without coming across as aggressive or invasive?

We use warm introductions whenever possible. We approach through shared networks, industry peers, and credible personal outreach. We never cold-call or use generic templates. Our approach is respectful and confidential. If a candidate isn't interested, nothing leaks into their network.

Do you handle the interview process and negotiations?

We identify and introduce candidates. We typically handle initial credibility checks and warm introductions. Interview facilitation and negotiations are negotiable depending on the engagement scope. Some clients want us fully involved. Others just want the introduction.

What if you can't find the right candidates?

We only take on sourcing engagements we believe we can fill. If we realize the role is too niche or the requirements are unrealistic, we'll tell you upfront. We won't waste time pursuing a search we don't think will work.

Can I hire a candidate directly if they come to me after you introduce them?

Fees and terms depend on the engagement agreement. Typically, if we introduce a candidate and they're hired, the fee applies. We discuss this clearly upfront as part of the engagement scope.

How do you find candidates who aren't actively looking?

We use financial filings, cap table research, LinkedIn pattern analysis, company announcements, industry conferences, and deep network conversations. We also understand what types of companies and situations produce the talent you're looking for. If you want finance leaders from scale-stage tech, we know where they typically come from.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. We have networks and experience across North America, Europe, and Asia. We specialize in sourcing for companies expanding internationally or looking to build out international teams. Time zones and visa requirements are part of the conversation upfront.
