Some companies treat Sourcing as a servant or support function to Recruiting and others treat it as an equal partnership and talent strategy and advisory operation. Always impressed with TA leadership who realize the value and don't think FLC recruiters "own" the relationship. Which companies are good for recognizing and rewarding the Sourcing function?

    Sourcers have their own path to management at Google. You can be a sourcer your entire career here without having to switch to recruiting in order to make more money.

    Meta is very, very good about hiring sourcers with full cycle backgrounds, so we’re used to partnering strategically with both candidates and the business.

    I guess I can only speak for the team I’m on, but sources are single-handedly responsible for crafting engagement strategy and pushing candidates through the funnel. Good ones here are quite senior and have a lot of autonomy

      I recently started here as a recruiter and from what I have learned so far, the sourcers do at minimum 70% of the work throughout the recruiting process.

      Preach zuck. Recruiters in my department are basically closers; they know very little about the current market and don’t really participate until sources hand them loop-ready candidates

    Sounds like the FAANG companies are pretty much aligned regarding Sourcing responsibilities. Apple is the same - exactly as “Hugh jack” explained.

    This is pretty late but Plaid is really great about this. I remember being thoroughly impressed with their recruiters and sourcers as well as the philosophy around the two.
