About the Opportunity
Our client is a well-capitalized, global technology organization operating at the forefront of artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced infrastructure development.
As part of a major investment in next-generation AI capabilities, the company is building a portfolio of large-scale, mission-critical data center projects across Texas. These initiatives are designed to support high-performance computing, advanced analytics, and real-world AI applications.
The organization offers a fast-paced, high-performance environment that values operational excellence, disciplined execution, and the ability to scale complex infrastructure in support of long-term growth.
Due to the nature of this project, additional details will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.
The ideal candidate brings strong agency-style instincts, exceptional direct sourcing skills, and the ability to find and engage talent without relying on automated sourcing platforms or inbound applicants. You will independently manage searches from hiring manager intake through verbal offer acceptance across frontline, technical, operational, professional, and leadership positions.
We are looking for a true talent hunter, someone who knows how to find people, build relationships, solve sourcing challenges, and deliver results through creativity, persistence, and sound judgment.

- Present qualified slates with clear assessments and recommendations
- Drive candidates through interviews and selection, keeping momentum and decisions moving
- Support offer development, negotiation, and closing
- Deliver consistent communication and a positive candidate experience throughout
Direct Sourcing and Pipeline Development
- Identify and engage active and passive talent through advanced Boolean, Google X-Ray, market mapping, networking, referrals, and direct outreach
- Apply traditional agency techniques to reach hard-to-find candidates
- Build pipelines for current and anticipated hiring needs
- Source effectively with limited tools and technology resources
