Location: Livonia, MI – Hybrid

Company Overview

At Qualigence International, our mission is simple but powerful: put people at the center of business and unlock their best performance. We don’t just fill roles — we help clients make hires that thrive and drive success.

Position Summary:

We’re looking for a Sourcing Manager who thrives as a leader, innovator, and builder. This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo—it’s a chance to design, scale, and elevate a modern sourcing engine that redefines how talent is identified, engaged, and delivered.

In this role, you’ll spearhead the creation of strategies and systems that unlock access to top talent, ensuring accurate contact information and insights are gathered. You’ll empower clients with high-quality candidate pipelines—whether we’re delivering results directly or enabling them to take the tools and knowledge forward on their own.

This is your opportunity to shape the future of sourcing, drive measurable impact for clients, and build a best-in-class function from the ground up.

You’ll lead and mentor a team of 4–8 research consultants, implement AI-driven tools, and consult directly with clients. You’ll be hands-on with sourcing technology and strategy (80%), while also guiding team development and performance (20%).

• Evaluate the tech stack and implement at least 2 new sourcing/automation tools in the first 90 days.
• Drive 100% adoption across the team with clear training and measurable outcomes.
• Maintain a framework to continuously evaluate emerging sourcing technology.

Team Development & Leadership

• Assess team skills within 60 days and deliver individualized development plans.
• Provide bi-weekly coaching, quarterly reviews, and set clear KPIs (quality, adoption, efficiency).
• Lead a culture of accountability, collaboration, and growth.

Process & Metrics

• Standardize sourcing workflows and launch dashboards that track project compliance.
• Achieve 95%+ candidate data completion (contact info, roles, skills, enrichment).
• Reduce sourcing cost per candidate by 20% through tech-enabled efficiency.

Knowledge Base Growth

• Build a centralized sourcing knowledge base of 20,000+ enriched candidate profiles in year one.
• Leverage AI and enrichment tools to transform contact lists into a strategic talent asset.

Client-Facing Impact

• Act as a consultative partner on at least 10 client projects within the first 90 days.
• Ensure pipelines are delivered on time and with >90% client satisfaction.
• Position Qualigence as a long-term sourcing partner through reusable talent pipelines.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in sourcing, recruitment research, or TA leadership.
• Mastery of advanced sourcing techniques (Boolean, LinkedIn, HireEZ, Apollo, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with AI, automation, and enrichment tools.
• Track record of building teams, processes, and scalable systems.
• Strong client-facing skills with ability to consult and influence.
• Detail-oriented, data-driven, and energized by solving problems creatively.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Be a Builder: Create a sourcing function that scales across industries and clients.
• Lead with Tech: Stay on the frontlines of AI and automation adoption.
• Develop People: Coach and elevate a team into top-tier sourcing consultants
• See Your Impact: Drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and client satisfaction.
• Grow Your Career: Work alongside senior leadership in a high-visibility role.

Benefits:

• Paid Time Off
• Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance
• Life Insurance
• 401k with Company Match
• Flexible Hybrid Schedule (3 days in Livonia office, 2 remote)
• Career growth opportunities and direct exposure to senior leadership

This role is designed for someone who wants to make sourcing smarter, faster, and more impactful. If you’re ready to combine tech, strategy, and leadership to transform recruiting — we want to hear from you.
