Sourcer, Cloud Horizontals

About the Role

Our Sourcing Specialists tell the story of Google to the world. They care deeply about cultivating relationships, have lively, thoughtful conversations with their candidates, and know our organization and its products well enough to articulate life-changing opportunities. As an expert in the talent needs of our business, you’ll be an adviser to the extraordinary people you find, engage, and guide through Google’s hiring process. By the time you’ve introduced a would-be Googler to our partners in recruiting, they are comfortable, well informed, and excited about the possibilities that await them here. The demands of our company, as it continues to grow and transform the industry, are great. Your analytical mind, curiosity, and sincere approach to your work make you exceptional enough to meet them.

Google is known for our innovative technologies, products and services -- and for the people behind them. In this role, you will be charged with finding the most interesting candidates who bring an entrepreneurial spirit and a variety of viewpoints to all they do. You will be responsible for guiding candidates through our hiring process and connecting them to the magic of working at Google. You will be creative and driven, which allows you to develop lasting relationships with both candidates and hiring managers. You will also be comfortable with numbers and drawing insights from analytics to make our hiring process smarter and more efficient.

Great just isn't good enough for our People Operations team (known elsewhere as "Human Resources"). We bring the world's most innovative people to Google and provide the programs that help them thrive. Whether recruiting the next Googler, refining our core programs, developing talent, or simply looking for ways to inject some more fun into the lives of our Googlers, we bring a data-driven approach that is reinventing the human resources field.
