Why does this role exist?

This is a full-time, in-house role at Magic — not freelance, and not a placement with a single client.

You'll build and hold candidate pipelines for niche, hard-to-fill roles — running Boolean searches across LinkedIn, job boards, and online communities, then screening and scheduling before a recruiter ever steps in. On custom, high-touch hires, you'll run sourcing, outreach, screening, and scheduling in a single day.

This isn't a full-cycle recruiting seat — you won't be running interviews or making offers. What you will do is make the call, before anyone else sees a resume, on whether a candidate is strong enough to move forward.

What You'll Actually Do

Sourcing Research You'll hunt down candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, social platforms, and online communities — running Boolean searches and testing keyword combinations until the right people surface. You're building pipelines for the reqs open today and the ones opening next month, and logging all of it in Penthouse, Magic 's in-house ATS, so nothing gets lost.

Coordination Handoff

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiters to understand exactly what "qualified" means for each req, then keep sourcing paced to their timelines. For niche and custom requests, you're also the one getting candidates onto the calendar — scheduling is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Candidate Engagement Screening

You're the first filter before anyone else sees a resume — reaching out, gauging real interest, and screening for fit before you endorse anyone up the chain. You'll keep candidates warm with real communication, not templated silence, because a good pipeline is really just a lot of relationships you didn't let go cold.

What Winning Looks Like

- You keep a pipeline moving even when half of it has gone quiet — you re-engage instead of waiting around.

- You can lose a whole day to one complicated custom req and still hit your other numbers.

- You can tell a great candidate from a good-on-paper one before a recruiter ever opens the profile.

- You hit your targets — Matching Interview Pass Rate, Hire Hit Rate, Drop-off Rate, Daily Endorsements — without cutting corners to get there.

- Recruiters trust your handoffs, because they're clean every time, not just when it's convenient.

What You Bring
