Job description

About this role

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X.

We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

TALENT SOURCER

We are seeking highly motivated Talent Sourcer who operate with intensity, intellectual rigor, and deep ownership to support SpaceXSI as we scale. You will build robust talent pipelines filled with the top talent in the world across machine learning research, software engineering, infrastructure, product, and business operations.

The ideal candidate is a creative, self-driven sourcer who can leverage both traditional and non-traditional approaches to identify and engage exceptional talent that is not applying, and who is deeply aligned with the mission of building Super Intelligence.

Successful candidates will have outstanding communication skills, hold themselves accountable, possess a willingness and drive to manage a demanding high-volume workload, and thrive in a team environment with strong presentation skills. As a Talent Sourcer for SpaceXSI, you will build pipelines for hard-to-fill roles and often be a candidate’s first conversation with SpaceXSI.

You will partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers, own the search and handoff as an extreme owner, and ensure passive talent is closeable and excited about the opportunity.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Run intake with recruiters and hiring managers and turn each role into a searchable profile
  • Source passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, X, niche technical communities, events, and target-company mapping, using Boolean and X-ray searches
  • Use AI research tools to move faster, and write personalized outreach yourself
  • Send personalized outreach to generate quality response rates, and qualify interested candidates over the phone
  • Build and maintain pipelines for current and upcoming roles, and keep ATS records accurate
  • Track metrics to ensure pipelines are hitting the demand the business requires
  • Map competitor talent pools and share market insights with the team
  • Represent SpaceXSI and SpaceX clearly and accurately in every candidate conversation
  • Maintain a strong sense of urgency while preserving quality and judgment

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree and 1+ years of recruiting or sourcing experience; or associate degree and 2+ years of recruting or sourcing experience; or 3+ years of professional experience as a recruiter or sourcer in lieu of a degree

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 3+ years of technical sourcing or technical recruiting experience, including passive outreach
  • Experience sourcing hard-to-fill roles across more than one function, from individual contributor through leadership
  • Proven Boolean and X-ray search skills, including building and refining your own search strings
  • Experience writing personalized outreach that gets a response from passive candidates
  • Working proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse preferred) and at least one dedicated sourcing or research tool
  • Experience turning a hiring manager’s intake into a searchable candidate profile
  • Experience mapping talent markets, including target companies and competitor pools
  • Skill at judging technical depth well enough to pass a calibrated slate to a recruiter

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed
  • This position is based in Memphis, TN, and requires being onsite full-time.
