[Hiring] Technical Sourcer @Assured

Role Description

Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

As a Contract Technical Sourcer , you'll spend 90 days identifying and engaging exceptional software engineering talent. You'll partner with recruiters and hiring leaders to understand what great looks like, translate hiring needs into creative sourcing strategies, and build high-quality pipelines for critical Staff+ engineering roles. This contract has the potential to extend based on business needs and performance.

The best sourcers don't simply run the same searches as everyone else – they experiment, follow signals, uncover overlooked talent, and find outstanding engineers in unexpected places. They genuinely love the hunt. That's the energy and creativity we're looking for in this role.

Responsibilities

• Build thoughtful sourcing strategies that reach beyond obvious titles, companies, and keyword combinations to uncover exceptional backend, full-stack, and systems engineers.
• Use creative search techniques, talent mapping, market research, open-source contributions, technical communities, referrals, conference talks, and unconventional signals to identify high-potential engineering talent.
• Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand the role, define the target technical profile (languages, systems experience, scale, domain), and turn an intake conversation into a focused sourcing plan.
• Craft personalized, technically credible outreach that connects a candidate's specific systems experience and career motivations with the opportunity.
• Use response rates, conversion data, market feedback, and pipeline quality to refine sourcing strategies and focus effort where it has the greatest impact.
• Use AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and similar platforms to accelerate technical research, generate new search ideas, personalize outreach, and improve efficiency without sacrificing judgment or the human touch.
• Proactively identify engineering talent across different backgrounds, company sizes, industries, and career paths while maintaining a high technical bar.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Build high-quality pipelines for Staff+ engineering roles, helping the team connect with exceptional engineers who may not be actively looking.
• Design creative searches using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean techniques, GitHub, technical blogs and conference speaker lists, web research, talent intelligence, and unconventional sourcing channels.
• Bring curiosity and original thinking to every search, testing new hypotheses instead of relying on the standard recruiting playbook.
• Engage candidates with thoughtful, personalized outreach that clearly communicates why the opportunity is technically and professionally relevant to them.
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to calibrate profiles, share market insights on the engineering talent landscape, and adjust sourcing strategies as searches evolve.
• Track sourcing activity, candidate engagement, pipeline progress, and search effectiveness to understand what is working and where to iterate.
• Maintain accurate, timely candidate information and activity in Ashby or a similar applicant tracking system.
• Help us hire the best of the best by combining speed, creativity, persistence, and exceptional technical candidate judgment.

Qualifications

• Genuinely enjoy sourcing and finding the right engineer.
• Think beyond job titles and familiar company lists.
• Read a technical background thoughtfully and identify transferable systems experience.
• Write concise, personalized, technically credible outreach.
• Treat sourcing as an iterative process and learn from the market.
• Excited to use AI tools to make technical research and outreach more creative and effective.
• Communicate clearly and build strong working relationships with recruiters and hiring managers.
• Experience with modern recruiting tools is a plus.
