About the Team
Decagon’s Talent team partners directly with company leadership to shape org design, define what success looks like, and hire the people who will shape our future. We’re Gen AI-native and constantly pushing the boundaries of how Talent teams operate - moving fast, solving hard problems, and playing a critical role in building a world-class organization.
About the Role
Decagon is growing quickly and we’re looking for a Technical Sourcer to help us find and engage exceptional technical talent.
You’ll work closely with our Recruiters and Engineering leaders to identify the people we want at Decagon and figure out how to get them excited about what we’re building. You’ll own top-of-funnel across some of our highest-priority technical searches, from mapping talent markets and identifying great candidates to crafting outreach and building relationships.
We care more about raw ability, drive, and potential than whether you’ve followed a traditional recruiting career path. This could be a great fit for an agency recruiter looking to move in-house, a Recruiting Coordinator or Sourcer ready to take on more ownership, or someone from a high-velocity sales environment who wants to build a career in Talent.
In this role, you will

Research companies, teams, and talent markets to identify candidates others might miss
Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that gets candidates excited about Decagon
Partner closely with Recruiters and hiring managers to understand their teams, calibrate on talent, and continuously improve searches
Build relationships with candidates and create an exceptional experience from the first interaction
Experiment with AI and new tools to make sourcing faster, smarter, and more effective
Take on increasing ownership across the recruiting process as you grow
Your background looks something like this
3+ years of professional experience, ideally in sourcing, agency recruiting, recruiting coordination, sales, or another high-velocity environment
You’re highly motivated and want to accelerate your career
You’re naturally curious and enjoy learning how companies, teams, and technologies work
You’re a strong communicator and comfortable reaching out to and building relationships with people you don’t know
You’re resourceful and willing to try different approaches when the obvious answer doesn’t work
You’re organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities at once
You thrive in fast-moving environments with high expectations
Even better if you have
Experience sourcing or recruiting technical talent
Experience at a recruiting agency or executive search firm
A track record of outperforming goals or taking on responsibility quickly
Genuine interest in AI, startups, and technology
A competitive streak and a desire to become exceptional at your craft
Compensation
$110k - $160k + equity
