Technical Talent Sourcer

About the company

At Thrill Labs, we're not just building a gaming company; we're creating a global sensation. We are the innovative force behind Thrill.com, a groundbreaking crypto gaming venture set to launch soon! Our mission? To build the world’s most epic gaming brand and craft magical experiences for millions of users. Backed by a world-class team, we’re here to redefine the future of gaming.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Sourcer to partner closely with our CTO and Senior Technical Recruiter to help us attract and engage high-quality, high-bar engineering talent across Europe.

This is not a high-volume, low-quality sourcing role. We care deeply about candidate quality, thoughtful outreach, and strong judgment. You’ll play a key role in building pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles and in helping us break into competitive, sometimes skeptical talent markets.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong sourcing execution with market insight, sharp candidate judgment, and a high degree of ownership.

What you’ll be doing

• Own top-of-funnel sourcing for technical roles across Backend, Frontend, DevOps / Infrastructure, Data, and Engineering Management

  Build and execute sourcing strategies for both active hiring needs and future talent pipeline priorities

  Create target company lists, market maps, and talent landscapes for key roles and geographies across Europe

  Proactively identify, engage, and nurture high-quality passive candidates through LinkedIn and other relevant channels

  Write highly personalized outreach that improves response rates and creates genuine candidate interest

  Partner closely with the CTO and Technical Recruiter to calibrate role requirements, candidate quality bar, and target profiles

  Run and continuously improve sourcing experiments across messaging, channels, and candidate segments

  Share talent market insights, including candidate availability, compensation signals, competitor patterns, and common objections

  Maintain strong ATS hygiene and keep pipelines structured, searchable, and reusable over time

  Help shape how Thrill Labs is positioned to technical talent in a niche and sometimes misunderstood industry

  Support early candidate qualification and smooth handoff into the recruiting process

  What you’ll need

  • 3+ years of experience sourcing for technical roles, either in-house, in agency/search, or both

    Proven track record of sourcing for high-bar engineering roles such as Backend, DevOps / Infrastructure, distributed systems, Frontend, or engineering leadership

    Strong success in engaging passive candidates in competitive markets

    Experience sourcing across multiple European countries

    Solid understanding of technical profiles, stacks, and seniority levels; you do not need to code, but you do need to recognize what strong looks like

    Ability to operate with high autonomy, strong judgment, and clear ownership

    Strong written communication skills with the ability to craft personalized and compelling outreach

    Strong process discipline, including ATS hygiene, candidate tracking, and structured talent mapping

    Ability to turn market signals into an actionable sourcing strategy

    Confidence partnering directly with technical leaders on profile calibration and search direction

    Ability to handle candidate objections credibly, including concerns around industry, startup environment, or remote setup

    Comfortable working with urgency and ambiguity in a remote startup / scale-up environment

    English proficiency at B2 level or higher

    Bonus points for

    • Experience in iGaming, crypto, fintech, or other high-scale / high-performance environments

      Existing network of technical talent across Europe

      Experience working in high-bar hiring environments where quality matters more than volume

      Familiarity with advanced sourcing techniques such as Boolean, X-ray search, GitHub sourcing, niche communities, referrals, and alternative talent platforms

      Experience with sourcing or talent intelligence tools such as Juicebox, HireEZ, Gem, SourceWhale, AmazingHiring, or similar

      Additional European language skills

      Experience partnering closely with hiring managers or founders in technical calibration discussions

    Why this role matters

    Strong engineering hiring is one of the highest-leverage things we can do as a company. In this role, you won’t just fill the top of the funnel. You’ll help shape where we search, how we engage, and how we compete for exceptional technical talent.

    You’ll have real ownership, close partnership with leadership, and a chance to make a visible impact on the quality of our team.
