Talent Sourcer (Tech)

Location: Amsterdam / Haarlem (hybrid)

Hours: 32–40

At Sytac, we build high-performing engineering, data, and security teams for leading organisations in the Netherlands and beyond. We combine a pragmatic, people-first culture with strong craftsmanship, giving professionals autonomy in real environments, backed by a consultancy that invests in growth, community, and long-term partnerships.

We’re looking for a Sourcer who loves the hunt: mapping the market, building pipelines, and consistently bringing strong (technical) candidates into process. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring stakeholders to keep the funnel healthy, fast, and high-quality.

What you’ll do

• Partner with recruiters to define talent needs, calibrate candidate profiles, and build sourcing strategies
• Develop and maintain proactive pipelines to support both current and future hiring needs (engineering, data, AI, and devops/platform)
• Source candidates via LinkedIn, referrals, communities, events, and creative outreach
• Identify, engage, and convert passive candidates through highly personalized outreach and sustained relationship-building
• Screen for basic fit (motivation, availability, expectations) and hand over qualified candidates to recruiters
• Track and optimize sourcing metrics such as response rate, pipeline conversions, and other metrics to continuously improve efficiency.
• Partner with Marketing/Brand (when needed) to strengthen inbound channels

What we’re looking for

• 2–4+ years of sourcing experience (tech or consultancy is a strong plus)
• Able to manage multiple searches and shifting priorities without losing momentum
• Passion for building inclusive pipelines and using data to drive strategy
• High attention to detail, follow-through, and a commitment to delivering excellent candidate experiences
• Experience working with an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse etc)
• Strong boolean search skills and comfort using LinkedIn Recruiter
• Clear communicator in English; Dutch is a plus, residency in NL (no sponsorship).
• Comfortable working with recruiters/hiring managers and pushing for clarity on profiles

Nice to have

• Experience sourcing for consultancy/agency models (multiple roles, multiple stakeholders)
• Experience with sourcing in niche markets (Data/AI, DevOps/Platform, Security)
• Candidate engagement ideas beyond “Hey {firstName}…”

What we offer

• Direct impact on growth: your pipelines become real hires
• A pragmatic environment with ownership and room to improve the machine
• Collaboration with people who care about craft, not corporate theatre
• Support from Sytac’s community and knowledge-sharing culture
