The Role
Sourcers play a key role in our clients’ success by partnering with Hiring Managers and Recruiters and developing effective, consultative, professional relationships with them. Through asking the right questions to ensure a detailed understanding of the client and each role, and by leveraging data, historic hiring trends and market analysis, Sourcers develop bespoke sourcing strategies and then use a range of tools and techniques to find the best talent in the market. Sourcers are brand ambassadors for our clients, bringing each opportunity to life with candidates in a compelling and authentic way to ensure they are qualified, interested and engaged before being presented to the Hiring Manager. The Lead Sourcing Specialist will be responsible for end-to-end sourcing across specialist and high volume hiring within DWF, with a strong focus on identifying and engaging passive talent to ensure an efficient and high-quality recruitment process for the client.
Key Accountabilities
- Partner with Recruiters and Hiring Managers to understand hiring requirements for a variety of legal roles and develop effective sourcing strategies.
- Provide market insights, talent intelligence, and sourcing recommendations to support hiring decisions.
- Source, attract, engage, and assess active and passive talent through multiple channels for both specialist and volume hiring.
- Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.

- Promote an excellent candidate experience through regular communication and relationship management.
- Use data and market trends to refine sourcing approaches and improve hiring outcomes.
- Maintain accurate candidate records, activity tracking, and reporting within recruitment systems.
