Job Description
This senior research-oriented talent role sits at Talentful, a consultancy that helps high-growth technology businesses shape their hiring and talent strategy through a subscription model. The position is fully remote and focuses on identifying and qualifying candidates for technology teams at client firms.
Most of the work is deep research into the talent market. The researcher builds sourcing plans aimed at people who are not actively applying for jobs, using LinkedIn and other off-the-beaten-path channels, and concentrates on one client at a time so the search reflects that client's culture and priorities. The role also includes advising internal stakeholders on talent practice, which the posting presents as a route to better business outcomes.
Applicants should have several years of technical recruiting experience in a demanding setting, ideally including specialist or niche searches. Strong Boolean sourcing skills, clear communication and careful organisation are central. The posting describes Talentful as a global firm with teams in Europe and the United States, and notes that it has supported large technology companies including Alphabet, Microsoft and Atlassian.
