About the position

Modis is seeking a motivated and competitive individual for the role of Talent Sourcer, an entry-level position that serves as a gateway into the recruiting industry. This role is ideal for those looking to establish a career in business, sales, or recruiting but may not know where to start. The Talent Sourcer will play a crucial role in supporting the branch's recruiting efforts by identifying and engaging qualified IT candidates. The position is designed for individuals who are eager to learn and grow within the industry, with the potential to transition into a full-desk recruiter role within six months, contingent upon performance evaluations. As a Talent Sourcer, you will be responsible for building a pipeline of candidates by skill set and ensuring that all necessary information is accurately documented in the database. This role emphasizes the development of best practice recruiting behaviors and is a stepping stone towards a fully commissionable recruiter position. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a strong desire to succeed in sales and recruiting, as well as a commitment to achieving high performance in their role. After 5-6 months, management will assess performance to determine eligibility for advancement into a full recruiter role. The ideal candidate will thrive in a competitive environment, be money-motivated, and possess a strong desire to succeed. This position requires a proactive approach to candidate sourcing, including making a minimum of 250 calls per week to prospective candidates. The Talent Sourcer will work closely with recruiters to develop a robust candidate pipeline and will eventually take on responsibilities related to pre-screening and full-cycle recruiting as their training progresses. This role also involves participating in special projects and performing other related duties as required.
