About the role

As the first Technical Sourcer at Vesta, you'll own finding and engaging the best talent on the market for our most critical technical roles. This is not a reactive role. It's a proactive one.

• Craft outreach messages that are specific, human, and tailored. The goal is to make every candidate feel like you found them for a reason and that Vesta is worth a conversation.
• Be the first voice many candidates hear. Understand what we're building, why it matters, and why now is the right time to join well enough to make someone genuinely excited about it.
• Carry a meaningful req load and keep pipelines moving across multiple roles simultaneously, using strong organizational systems to stay on top of it all.
• Use tools like Claude and purpose-built recruiting AI to personalize outreach at scale, accelerate research, and cut time-to-pipeline.
• Actively experiment and raise your own bar here.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand what "great" looks like for each role and never compromise on it.
• Track sourcing channel performance, outreach conversion, and pipeline health. Let the data inform where you invest your time.
