About Move

Move is an embedded talent consultancy on a mission to evolve how businesses recruit.

We partner with some of the most innovative organisations in the world — from Google-backed unicorns to Fintech and SaaS scale-ups reshaping their industries. Our work combines deep hiring expertise, rigorous research, and data-informed insight to help clients understand their talent markets and build stronger hiring outcomes.

Our team spans the UK, US, Germany, Spain, South Africa. We’re remote-first, globally minded, and highly collaborative. We believe great hiring should be human-centred, analytically rigorous, and impact-driven, creating better outcomes for both companies and candidates.

This is a senior individual contributor role with a clear pathway into a future leadership position.

The mission of this role is to deeply understand hiring requirements, translate them into structured research and sourcing projects, and build comprehensive views of talent markets that enable Move to deliver high-quality outreach and insights at scale.

This is not a candidate-facing role. It is a central, high-impact position focused on research depth, search quality, market mapping, and analytical thinking.

What You’ll Do

• Take insights from hiring manager intake meetings and translate them into:
• Clear target profile definitions
• Structured sourcing and research projects
• Search parameters designed to surface the most relevant talent

• Build and maintain sourcing projects that underpin large-scale outreach and research programmes
• Conduct total addressable market (TAM) analysis for roles within the technology sector
• Map talent markets comprehensively and rigorously, using multiple data sources
• Interrogate and refine searches to uncover high-quality and non-obvious talent
• Analyse talent pools and provide insights that inform delivery and client outcomes
• Support the setup of project hubs and workflows for new sourcing engagements
• Work closely with Move’s sourcing team to ensure projects are clear, scalable, and easy to execute against

Requirements:
Essential

• 5+ years of Internal or recruiting agency experience
• Significant hands-on experience using LinkedIn Recruiter as a core sourcing tool
• Proven ability to build complex, high-quality searches from detailed or ambiguous briefs
• Experience sourcing or researching for roles within the technology industry
• Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail
• Ability to deeply understand requirements and rigorously interrogate search logic
• Demonstrated use of AI tools in day-to-day work to improve research quality, efficiency, or decision-making

Nice to Have

• Exposure to market mapping or talent intelligence projects
• Familiarity with recruitment operations tools & workflows
• Familiarity with Notion

Full training will be provided on Move’s in-house sourcing methodology, tooling, project hubs, and outreach systems.
