As a Talent Sourcing Specialist at Wing Assistant, you are the strategic engine of our talent delivery process. You are responsible for receiving client requisitions from the Sales team and transforming those requirements into high-performing placements.
In this role, you function as the internal expert who bridges the gap between client needs and talent supply.

- Internal Collaboration & Feedback Loops: Proactively communicate with CSMs to refine searches based on real-time feedback. Your goal is to ensure the client is highly satisfied with the candidate pool and to maintain a high "profile acceptance" criteria.
- Product & Scope Compliance: Coordinate closely with the Product Delivery Specialist to ensure any additional client requests made post-sales are feasible and aligned with Wing’s standards before proceeding with further sourcing or candidate endorsements.
- The "Hard-to-Fill" Specialist: Take the lead on specialized or high-stakes requisitions that require unconventional sourcing, creative problem-solving, and deep-dive evaluation.
