Strategic Sourcing Advisor

Contract

Houston, TX | Hybrid

About the Client

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where you'll influence talent strategy, build critical pipelines, and help secure top talent for high-impact positions across the organization.

About The Role

We are seeking a Strategic Sourcing Advisor who is passionate about identifying and engaging top talent before it enters the market. This is not a traditional recruiting role, it is ideal for someone who thrives on market research, talent mapping, and developing creative sourcing strategies for difficult-to-fill positions.

Working closely with recruiters, hiring managers, HR Business Partners, and business leaders, you'll attend intake meetings, provide labor market intelligence, build sourcing strategies, and develop evergreen talent pipelines for specialized and leadership-level roles.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing innovative sourcing strategies for high-priority and hard-to-fill positions
• Building and maintaining long-term talent pipelines and evergreen candidate communities
• Conducting talent mapping, competitor research, and labor market analysis
• Identifying and engaging passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean searches, CRM platforms, and other sourcing technologies
• Providing workforce planning insights and recruiting market intelligence to hiring teams
• Supporting executive and specialized recruiting initiatives
• Evaluating new sourcing tools, AI technologies, and recruiting automation solutions
• Creating recruiting resources, documentation, and process improvements that enhance sourcing effectiveness and candidate experience

About You

You are naturally curious, proactive, and energized by the challenge of finding talent that others can't. You enjoy researching industries, tracking market trends, and building relationships long before hiring needs arise.

You'll bring:

• 3+ years of experience in talent acquisition, recruiting, or strategic sourcing
• Advanced sourcing expertise using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, ATS, and CRM platforms
• Experience building talent pipelines for technical, specialized, or leadership positions
• Strong knowledge of labor market trends, talent mapping, and workforce planning
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a strategic mindset

Experience with executive recruiting, employer branding, AI-enabled recruiting technologies, relocation or global mobility, and recruitment marketing would be considered a strong advantage.

What's on Offer?

This hybrid opportunity offers the chance to play a highly strategic role within an established Talent Acquisition function while partnering directly with business leaders to shape hiring strategies and build long-term talent pipelines.
