Recruitment Resourcer Full Time

If you enjoy the craft of sourcing — and want to focus on it properly — this role is designed for you.

This is a role for someone who already knows they’re good at sourcing, and wants to spend their time doing that well, rather than being pulled into interviews, negotiation, or closing.

You’ll focus on:

• Deep, thoughtful search
• Careful screening and judgement
• Clear, honest written communication with candidates

All within a setup that gives you flexibility, trust, and the chance to shape how sourcing is done as the business grows.

Why this role is different

Most recruitment roles gradually move you away from sourcing.

This one does the opposite.

• You’ll double down on what you’re already good at
• You’ll work within clear systems and standards, not chaos
• You’ll have real input into how sourcing evolves — including tools, processes, and technologies
• You’ll be trusted to do high-quality work without constant oversight

It’s designed for someone who takes pride in:

getting the search right, understanding what “good” looks like, and delivering work that others don’t need to second-guess.

About Cohort

Cohort works as a trusted hiring partner to early-stage and scaling tech companies.

We act as an extension of their team — helping them build strong teams from their first hires onwards, without the noise and inefficiency of traditional recruitment.

The quality of early sourcing work has a disproportionate impact on hiring outcomes.

This role sits right at that leverage point.

What you’ll do

• Run deep, well-constructed searches for technical roles (software, electronics, chemicals, etc.)
• Build and refine Boolean and platform-specific searches confidently
• Review CVs and profiles independently and make sound judgement calls
• Manage clean, reliable pipelines across multiple roles and tools
• Reach out to candidates and clearly position opportunities so they can decide whether to engage
• Hand over only candidates who are genuinely interested and open to a call

You won’t be:

• interviewing candidates
• negotiating offers
• selling roles or pushing people forward

What good looks like

• Searches don’t need to be redone
• Screening decisions are trusted without checking
• Candidates engage with a clear understanding of the opportunity
• Pipelines are accurate and reliable
• The right people reach interview — for the right reasons

This role will suit you if…

• You already have strong sourcing capability and enjoy doing it properly
• You prefer depth and accuracy over speed and volume
• You’re comfortable explaining opportunities clearly, without overselling
• You like working within structured systems, with autonomy inside them
• You want high-quality, meaningful part-time work that fits around other commitments
• You’re interested in improving how sourcing is done, not just executing it

Important (non-negotiable)

You must already be highly competent at deep sourcing.

This means being able to:

• Construct and refine complex searches
• Adjust your approach based on results
• Assess technical profiles independently

This role is not designed to teach sourcing fundamentals.

All candidates will be asked to demonstrate their approach in a live sourcing session before any long-term commitment.

Working pattern

• Flexible, asynchronous working
• Measured on quality and judgement, not activity
