[Hiring] Talent Sourcer @fonio GmbH

Role Description

As a Talent Sourcer at fonio, your job is simple on paper and hard in practice: find the right people before anyone else does. You'll own the top of the funnel across multiple open roles simultaneously:

• Researching markets
• Building boolean searches
• Identifying high-potential candidates on LinkedIn and beyond
• Adding candidates to Ashby
• Writing personalized outreach
• Running multi-touch sequences until you get a response

This is a high-volume, high-quality role focused on targeted, researched, thoughtful outreach — at scale.

Qualifications

• Proven sourcing experience — you've run boolean searches, built outreach sequences, and delivered qualified pipelines under time pressure
• Ashby experience is a strong plus — or deep experience with another ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) and the ability to get up to speed in Ashby fast
• LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator proficiency — you know how to find people who aren't applying
• Excellent written English — your outreach messages are personalized, concise, and convert
• High attention to detail — every profile in Ashby is complete, tagged, and noted
• Data-driven mindset — you track your own reply rates, conversion rates, and quality metrics and use them to improve
• Ability to manage multiple roles simultaneously — you're organized, prioritize well, and don't drop balls
• Genuine curiosity about the roles you're sourcing for — you ask good questions, understand what "good" looks like for each profile, and adjust accordingly
• Enthusiasm for AI tools — you actively use AI to improve your workflow, personalize outreach, and move faster

Requirements

• Fluent in English (written and spoken — your outreach is your product)
• Available to work European business hours with overlap to Vienna (CET/CEST)
• Comfortable working fully remote as part of a fast-moving, high-accountability team
• Minimum 1 year of hands-on sourcing experience — not recruiting coordination, not HR admin: actual candidate sourcing

Benefits

• A high-impact role at a company growing from 32 to 100+ people — you'll see the direct result of your work in hires made
• Direct collaboration with the Hiring Lead and Talent Acquisition Manager — no layers, no bureaucracy
• A clear brief every week, structured feedback after every phone screen, and a Notion workspace where everything is documented
• Access to the latest AI tools and sourcing platforms
• Competitive freelance rate based on experience
• The opportunity to grow into a full-cycle recruiter role as the team scales

Application Process

• 15-minute intro call — quick alignment on the role and your background
• Sourcing trial task — a short, paid exercise to see how you work: boolean search, 10 qualified profiles in Ashby, outreach message draft
• 30-minute debrief — we review the trial together and decide
