Consultant – Recruitment Sourcing / Recruitment Sourcing Manager
Department: Recruitment / Talent Acquisition
Role Type: Sourcing-Focused
Work Setup: Hybrid
Location: Mabolo, Cebu City
Reports To: Recruitment Manager / Head of Recruitment
Job Summary
We are looking for a highly driven, competitive, and numbers-oriented Recruitment Sourcing Consultant / Recruitment Sourcing Manager who will be responsible exclusively for building a strong and consistent candidate pipeline for the recruitment team.
This is a pure sourcing role. The individual will not be responsible for applicant interviews, documentation, onboarding, or other recruitment administration. The primary responsibility is to find, engage, qualify at sourcing level, and deliver high volumes of relevant candidate profiles, including difficult-to-find and niche talent.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys the chase, competition, targets, and numbers and can consistently push sourcing activity even when the market is challenging.
Key Responsibilities
- Source high-volume and niche candidate profiles based on active hiring requirements.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified candidates for the recruitment team.
- Use multiple sourcing channels including:
- Job portals and job boards
- LinkedIn and other social media platforms
- Facebook groups and online communities
- Employee and candidate referrals
- Database mining
- Cold calling and direct outreach
- Other creative and unconventional sourcing channels
- Develop sourcing strategies based on role difficulty, market availability, volume requirements, and hiring urgency.
- Continuously identify new candidate pools, communities, platforms, and sourcing channels.
- Deliver candidate profiles within agreed daily and monthly sourcing targets.
- Prioritize urgent, high-volume, hard-to-fill, and niche requirements.
- Track sourcing activity, response rates, profile submissions, and pipeline performance.
- Monitor sourcing numbers and continuously improve productivity and conversion.
- Work closely with recruiters to understand requirements and provide the right candidate volume.
- Take ownership of sourcing gaps and proactively adjust strategies when targets are not being met.
- Conduct market mapping and talent-pool research for difficult requirements.
- Maintain a consistent flow of candidates rather than relying on last-minute sourcing.
- Experiment with new sourcing techniques to improve speed, volume, quality, and reach.
Success in this role is measured primarily by sourcing output, pipeline strength, speed, and results.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Proven experience in recruitment sourcing, talent sourcing, headhunting, or talent acquisition.
- Strong hands-on experience using multiple online sourcing channels.
- Proficiency in:
- Job portals / job boards
- LinkedIn sourcing
- Social media sourcing
- Facebook groups and communities
- Boolean / keyword searches
- Database sourcing
- Referrals
- Cold calling / direct candidate outreach
- Strong understanding of candidate sourcing strategies and talent-pool development.
- Ability to source both high-volume profiles and niche/hard-to-find candidates.
- Strong numerical orientation and comfort working against aggressive targets.
- Excellent follow-up and candidate outreach skills.
- Strong market research and candidate-search capabilities.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly competitive and target driven
- Self-motivated and proactive
- Strong-headed and persistent
- Comfortable working under pressure
- Highly accountable for their own numbers
- Relentless in following up and chasing candidates
- Creative in finding candidates when traditional channels do not work
- Comfortable with rejection and low response rates
- Fast, resourceful, and execution focused
- Not dependent on recruiters to continuously provide sourcing direction
- Someone who naturally thinks: How do I get more profiles
Important
This is NOT a generalist recruiter position.
The role does not primarily involve:
- Candidate interviews
- Interview scheduling
- Recruitment documentation
- Offer processing
- Onboarding
- Employee documentation
- Joining formalities
- General HR administration
The successful candidate must be exceptionally confident and capable in sourcing and should be able to independently build candidate pipelines using multiple channels.
What We Expect
We expect the person to take complete ownership of the sourcing funnel:
Requirement Sourcing Strategy Candidate Search Outreach Candidate Engagement Profile Delivery Pipeline Build
The right candidate will thrive in a high-pressure, highly competitive, target-driven recruitment environment where sourcing numbers and results matter every day.
