Mercury is building financial products to help startups and small businesses scale. Turns out this requires a lot of talented people, so we’re looking to add a contract Business Sourcer to our team.

As a sourcing partner to our business recruiting team, you’ll take ownership of the candidate pipeline for a big part of the company and have a lot of impact. This role is a 6-month contract with the possibility of extension or conversion.

Here are some things you’ll do on the job:

• Develop a deep understanding of Mercury’s values, brand, and product.

• Make a friendly first impression on candidates and (no pressure) act as the living embodiment of our cultural values.
• Manage the top funnel of the recruiting pipeline from initial outreach to their first interviews, with an emphasis on engaging passive candidates.
• Screen candidates with a keen eye for alignment with our open roles and Mercury values.
• Champion diversity and inclusion initiatives.
• Experiment with creative ways of sourcing and analyze their effectiveness.
• Actively think of ways to improve and scale sourcing processes.
• Stay informed about industry trends, and act as a subject matter expert for the wider team.

You should:

• Have 1-2 years of sourcing experience, ideally for business roles
• See yourself as an expert sourcer and enjoy seeking out passive talent
• Have an almost psychic level of empathy and intuition
• Communicate with clarity, thought, and precision
• Enjoy building diverse, inclusive, and high-performing teams
• Like working in a fast-paced environment
