Where we find our candidates

We identify candidates using a variety of channels.

Inbound inquiries

If you are a Sourcegraph teammate and you receive an email and/or resume from a prospective candidate, please forward to [email protected] - the Talent Team will take it from there!

• Talent team actions:
  • Confirm whether any of our current open roles might be a fit
  • Connect with the candidate on LinkedIn to introduce yourself, share our careers page, and invite the candidate to either apply to one of our open roles, or reach out directly if they have any questions about an open role in the future.
  • Add the candidate to our Greenhouse talent community (This sends an automated message that says we’ve received their interest and will be in touch should a relevant role come up).

Sourced candidates

• We actively recruit passive candidates via a variety of channels, including LinkedIn Recruiter.
• It is okay to reach out to prospective candidates that work at a Sourcegraph customer; however, do not mention their current employer or team being a customer of ours in the outreach. We should target prospective candidates for their skills and experience. We should not be using our customer vendor relationship as a way to outreach to our customer's employees.
• After the intake call, the Recruiter or Sourcer will create a LinkedIn Recruiter project and include the Hiring Manager, relevant Director of the department and any teammates included in the interview plan, and will find 10+ relevant candidates.
• The Recruiter or Sourcer will send LinkedIn profiles to the Hiring Manager for review. Once the Hiring Manager adds comments, the Recruiter or Sourcer will use the feedback to source more appropriate candidates.
• Recruiters will continue to add LinkedIn profiles to the project and start an outreach campaign following our Sourcing Outreach Best Practices.
