Position Summary

We are seeking a Legal Talent Sourcer to support a client in the legal technology sector. You’ll build candidate pipelines for active customer needs that cannot be immediately filled through the client’s existing lawyer network.

Most opportunities are Canada-focused, with some US searches. The work may support contract roles or full-time placements, including niche legal specialties that require you to get up to speed on unfamiliar requirements quickly.

This is a sourcing role, not a full-cycle recruiting or customer-facing role. You’ll identify and engage prospective candidates, then hand warm pipelines to the internal sales team for screening and next steps.

Key Responsibilities

Sourcing & Talent Identification

• Turn sales-team briefs and customer job descriptions into targeted searches for legal talent

• Find candidates for active needs that the existing network cannot immediately fulfill

• Reach out to prospective candidates and build pipelines of interested, relevant talent

• Use effective sourcing channels, tools and emerging technology to uncover candidates

Sales-Team Partnership

• Take direction on active opportunities and move quickly with limited handholding

• Learn unfamiliar, sometimes highly technical legal requirements and assess candidate backgrounds against each brief

• Hand warm pipelines to the sales team for screening and next steps

• Share sourcing feedback when a brief is proving difficult to fill

Tools & Confidentiality

• Work in HubSpot, Slack and the client’s internally built talent/ATS system

• Bringing your own expertise and knowledge of the best tools for the searches

• Handle customer information and talent data confidentially

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience in a dedicated sourcing role and a preference for sourcing over full-cycle recruiting

• Strong candidate-discovery and outreach skills

• Familiarity with current sourcing tools and AI-supported methods

• Ability to learn unfamiliar, technical requirements quickly and make sound judgments about candidate fit

• Able to work independently with limited oversight in a fast-moving environment

• G&A sourcing experience in a high-growth technology company is especially valuable

• Legal sourcing exposure is a strong plus, not a requirement

What Success Looks Like

You can take a brief from the sales team, independently identify and engage relevant legal talent, and hand over a warm pipeline ready for screening.
