Talent Acquisition - Sourcing Specialist

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance. The best people rarely come to us through a job board, so we go out and find them. We are expanding how we source talent and are looking for a Talent Acquisition - Sourcing Specialist who hunts for exceptional people, builds genuine relationships with them, and brings them to BIS rather than waiting for them to apply.

About the role:

This is a headhunter-style sourcing role. You will spend your days finding top-tier talent, reaching out cold and warm, having coffees and conversations, and building a pipeline of people we would love to hire - often well before a role even opens. The proof of your work is real hires: candidates who join BIS because you found them and kept them engaged.

We are an AI-forward team and want this role to be as AI-native as possible, so you will also help shape the tools and methods we use to find people.

This is an in-person role based out of our Sherwood Park, AB office.

In this role, you'll be expected to:

• Source and reach out to top talent - active cold and warm outreach to a weekly cadence, with coffees, calls, and meetings to build genuine relationships and meet new exceptional people every week.
• Keep a warm pipeline ready - maintain relationships with standout people who are not ready to move yet, so that when a role opens there is already a shortlist to engage rather than a search starting from zero.
• Build a deep understanding of each role - spend time with hiring leaders and leadership to understand what we are hiring for, so you can speak to each opportunity credibly and explain it well to candidates.
• Convert sourced candidates into hires - carry warm candidates through engagement to close, screening for genuine fit and handing off cleanly into the process.
• Contribute to how BIS finds people - bring ideas to our sourcing strategy and help build AI tools and new methods that make our outreach sharper.
• Get visible in the talent market - attend (and sometimes host) networking events and career fairs, and represent BIS authentically in the field.
• Take on full-cycle recruiting from time to time - including interviews, with support. Not the everyday focus, but a skill you will build here.

You might be the right fit if you are:

• A natural connector who builds relationships people genuinely want to be in and are able to excite candidates about the possibility of joining BIS!
• Stay relentlessly optimistic through the grind - this role involves a lot of outreach and a lot of no's, and the great ones stay eager rather than getting worn down. There is a yes out there no matter how many no's come first.
• Resourceful - you find strong candidates when they are hard to spot, and you know when a standard search will not work and reach for a different method.
• Genuinely curious about people - you ask great questions, probe well, and can pull out what matters in a short conversation.
• AI-forward and fast-moving - you lean into new tools hard and get things done at pace.
• Someone with good judgment and follow-through - you know which rules to follow and which to bend, and when you say you will do something, it happens.

Qualifications we are looking for:

• Two years of recruiting experience. You do not need to be senior, but you have lived the constant-outreach, build-relationships-from-scratch grind and know you can sustain it.
• Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter.
• A connector personality paired with real discernment about who would genuinely thrive at BIS.
• Bonus points if you have: experience with an ATS (Lever or any other - this is teachable), and a background in agency recruiting or in-house recruiting at another SaaS company.

Compensation and benefits:

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life insurance and disability insurance
• Health spending account
• Flexible working hours
• On-the-job training and growth opportunities
• Free on-site parking
