Talent Sourcer - 3 Month Contract (20 hours/week) at Adaption · Remote

About us

Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn't adapt to the world. We think that's backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, personalized, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few. We believe in talent density: bringing together the best and most driven individuals to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We're looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.

The Role

We're an early-stage startup looking for a scrappy, creative Talent Sourcer to join our team on a part-time basis. You'll play a key role in the early chapters of our story - building our pipeline across both technical and non-technical functions (think AI research talent, GTM, and more). This is a great opportunity for someone early in their recruiting career who's hungry to learn, loves the thrill of the search, and wants exposure to the broader world of People & Talent.

Please note: This is a part-time (20-hours/week) contract with an immediate start date and the possibility of extension.

Responsibilities

• Source high-quality candidates across a variety of roles — from engineers and researchers to operations, marketing, and beyond (AI/ML talent is a huge plus!)

• Build and maintain talent pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, community groups, and creative outreach strategies

• Craft compelling, personalized outreach messages that cut through the noise and generate real responses

• Track and manage candidate activity meticulously in our ATS, keeping pipelines clean and up to date

Qualifications

• ~2 years of sourcing or recruiting experience (agency, in-house, or RPO - we're open)

• Proven ability to source for both technical and non-technical roles

• Strong Boolean search skills and familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Juciebox, and Ashby

• A creative, determined mindset: you don't give up when the search gets hard

• Excellent written communication skills - your outreach actually gets replies

• Bonus: genuine curiosity about other areas of the talent function - employee experience, onboarding, coordination, and culture ➡️ we're a small team and if there is something you're keen to learn or try, we can see if we can make it happen!
