About Inspira Education

Inspira Education Group is one of the fastest-growing edtech startups in the US. We started with a simple mission to democratize access to high-quality coaching so that every student in the world has an equal opportunity to access the best opportunities.

As the world's leading network of top admissions coaches in medical, legal, business, and college studies, we're building software and services in one place—disrupting long-entrenched application processes with products and experiences that strive to provide an equal platform for candidates from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

As one of the fastest-growing edtech firms in the world, we are backed by some of the leading venture capital firms and investors in the world, including Zeev Ventures, Quiet Capital, Craft Ventures, Jeff Fluhr (Founder of Stubhub), and David Sacks (Former COO of PayPal and Founder of Yammer).

The Role

We're looking for an energetic, entrepreneurial, and creative Talent Sourcer to help us identify, engage, and pipeline top candidates across our corporate teams (marketing, sales, operations, and more).

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has a keen eye for spotting great talent, and knows how to get creative when traditional sourcing channels fall short.

• You'll partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers, giving you a front-row seat to how business-critical hiring decisions are made

• Conduct initial candidate screens as needed to assess fit and maintain pipeline momentum
• Track and report on sourcing activity, including response rates, conversion metrics, and overall pipeline health
• Collaborate cross-functionally to stay aligned on hiring priorities and deliver a seamless, positive candidate experience

Who You Are

• 2+ years of sourcing experience (talent acquisition or sales), ideally in a high-growth company
• Demonstrated success sourcing across multiple functions, with a focus on corporate/business roles and niche or hard-to-find talent
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator, plus familiarity with other sourcing tools (Gem, social media, referrals, etc.)
• Comfortable working within an ATS (we use Greenhouse) and/or CRM (we use HubSpot)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when crafting clear and compelling outreach
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple searches and pipelines simultaneously
• Creative, persistent, and proactive in experimenting with new ways to engage talent
• Bonus: Experience sourcing in education, edtech, or academic markets

What we look for

• A genuine passion for connecting with talent and telling compelling stories about our company and roles
• Curiosity and creativity to explore sourcing strategies beyond traditional channels
• Grit, persistence, and follow-through when tackling hard-to-fill searches
• A team-first mindset with strong collaboration and communication skills
• A growth mindset and enthusiasm for evolving alongside a fast-scaling company
