The Job

Tango Card is looking for a Sourcing Recruiter to join our Seattle office and own the sourcing process from end-to-end.  You will work with our sourcers, recruiters and hiring managers to discover and develop strategies to identify, attract, and wow top talent. We are passionate about delivering a candidate experience that really demonstrates our values, our culture, and what it’s like to be a Tangocardian.

While you will be expected to source talent across all roles, you will primarily focus on building pipelines for some of our highest volume and challenging fill roles, including customer service, operations and engineering. You’ll leverage your skills in research and sourcing to contribute to “data cases” around sourcing channels, approaches and candidate messaging to ensure a start to finish, amazing candidate experience with each stage of the sourcing process. Your natural curiosity will help you drive results in identifying the formulas to deliver statistically sustainable results. This is an exciting opportunity to join the sourcing squad in a rapidly growing and innovative recruitment function and organization.

• In-the-know - You keep up with the latest sourcing trends, from networking to diving into the  “deeper data details” of how top companies are meeting the best talent, right where they’re at 
• Data-Driven - you gravitate toward insights that identify and drive results; you aren’t afraid to take strategic turns to explore, discover and test-drive data theories that could get us one step closer to connecting with top talent 
• Vault - You are discreet and handle confidential information and documents with sensitivity

• Connector - You enjoy connecting others and have a good understanding of the talent market; you help plan and host virtual meetups and other unique events to cultivate our talent brand
