This is a headhunter-style sourcing role. You will spend your days finding top-tier talent, reaching out cold and warm, having coffees and conversations, and building a pipeline of people we would love to hire - often well before a role even opens. The proof of your work is real hires: candidates who join BIS because you found them and kept them engaged.
We are an AI-forward team and want this role to be as AI-native as possible, so you will also help shape the tools and methods we use to find people.
This is an in-person role based out of our Sherwood Park, AB office.
Source and reach out to top talent - active cold and warm outreach to a weekly cadence, with coffees, calls, and meetings to build genuine relationships and meet new exceptional people every week.
Keep a warm pipeline ready - maintain relationships with standout people who are not ready to move yet, so that when a role opens there is already a shortlist to engage rather than a search starting from zero.
Build a deep understanding of each role - spend time with hiring leaders and leadership to understand what we are hiring for, so you can speak to each opportunity credibly and explain it well to candidates.
Convert sourced candidates into hires - carry warm candidates through engagement to close, screening for genuine fit and handing off cleanly into the process.
Contribute to how BIS finds people - bring ideas to our sourcing strategy and help build AI tools and new methods that make our outreach sharper.
Get visible in the talent market - attend (and sometimes host) networking events and career fairs, and represent BIS authentically in the field.
Take on full-cycle recruiting from time to time - including interviews, with support. Not the everyday focus, but a skill you will build here.
A natural connector who builds relationships people genuinely want to be in and are able to excite candidates about the possibility of joining BIS!
Stay relentlessly optimistic through the grind - this role involves a lot of outreach and a lot of no's, and the great ones stay eager rather than getting worn down. There is a yes out there no matter how many no's come first.
Resourceful - you find strong candidates when they are hard to spot, and you know when a standard search will not work and reach for a different method.
Genuinely curious about people - you ask great questions, probe well, and can pull out what matters in a short conversation.
AI-forward and fast-moving - you lean into new tools hard and get things done at pace.
Someone with good judgment and follow-through - you know which rules to follow and which to bend, and when you say you will do something, it happens.
Two years of recruiting experience. You do not need to be senior, but you have lived the constant-outreach, build-relationships-from-scratch grind and know you can sustain it.
Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter.
A connector personality paired with real discernment about who would genuinely thrive at BIS.
Bonus points if you have: experience with an ATS (Lever or any other - this is teachable), and a background in agency recruiting or in-house recruiting at another SaaS company.
