• Help develop a process and cadence around sourcing, including building talent pipelines for future hiring needs.
• Support talent branding across various platforms and job boards.

• Help measure success of our sourcing efforts —Measure conversion rates, including numbers of passive leads who turn into candidates, get invited to interviews, get offers and ultimately get hired.
• Communicate with leads and candidates directly, including cold outreach, candidate follow-ups, feedback and rejections.
• Support screening candidates, conducting first-stage interviews to see if they are a fit for the job, and for Circle.
• Coordinate and schedule interviews —we don’t have any recruiting coordinators at Circle (yet!), so you will be very high-touch with every role you support, and every candidate that comes into those roles.
