Creative Talent Sourcer/Recruiter – EMEA, APAC Coverage

Job Description:

  • Source exceptional design and engineering talent across LinkedIn, portfolio platforms, social channels, creative communities, and other relevant networks
  • Build pipelines across international markets, with a focus on EMEA and APAC talent pools
  • Run and manage high-volume outreach campaigns across multiple channels
  • Research portfolios and identify candidates aligned with TasteMakers’ quality bar
  • Build and maintain sourcing pipelines for multiple concurrent roles
  • Help identify strong creative and technical communities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia
  • Review applications against selection criteria — portfolio quality, skillset fit, rate, availability, and assessment readiness
  • Manage early candidate engagement and communication across email and messaging platforms
  • Support candidates across time zones with timely, thoughtful communication
  • Build shortlists for project-specific staffing in collaboration with the Recruitment Lead
  • Help assess candidate fit for international freelance and contract-based project work
  • Coordinate the assessment process — distribute tests, track submissions, follow up, route results for review
  • Support compliance and contracting workflows, including background checks and onboarding documentation
  • Support expert onboarding logistics and project kick-off coordination
  • Maintain clean, accurate records in our talent database and keep the pipeline organized as we scale
  • Help improve operational coverage outside of U.S. business hours so experts and candidates feel supported globally

Requirements:

  • 3–6+ years of recruiting, sourcing, or talent operations experience — ideally in creative, design, or tech recruiting
  • Based in EMEA or APAC time zones. You are located outside of the U.S. and can provide meaningful coverage across European, Middle Eastern, African, and/or Asian working hours
  • You understand creative and technical talent. You can appreciate the nuances between types of designers — brand, product, art direction, web, UX, advanced new media — and have enough technical fluency to understand what frontend engineering and design engineering roles require
  • Extremely organized. You can manage high volume without dropping balls — multiple projects, hundreds of candidates, dozens of open threads, all moving simultaneously
  • Lightning fast. You respond quickly, move quickly, and do not let things sit
  • Entrepreneurial and resourceful. You thrive in environments where processes are still being built. You see gaps and fill them without being asked
  • Thrive under pressure. This is a fast-scaling operation with real deadlines and real clients. Some organized chaos comes with the territory — and you are energized by it
  • Kind and candidate-obsessed. You care deeply about the expert experience. Every person in the network should feel respected, informed, and valued
  • Tapped into the design community. You know where designers and engineers hang out online — X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, Dribbble, Behance, portfolio sites, niche creative communities — and you are comfortable engaging in those spaces
  • Globally minded. You have experience recruiting international freelance or contract talent across time zones, or you are excited to build that muscle quickly

Benefits:

  • Remote-first: Work from anywhere
  • International coverage: Help us expand recruiting and expert support across EMEA and APAC time zones
  • Path to full-time: For the right person, there is potential to transition to a permanent role
  • Autonomy and ownership: This is not a button-pushing sourcing role — you will help shape how we find, evaluate, and onboard the best creative talent in the world
