In recent years, "sourcers" are the ones who email / call engineers on behalf of the recruiters. They are part of the recruiting department.
Article says:
"Levy previously told Insider she was hired on Meta’s Sourcer Development Program, a 12-month program that helps workers from underrepresented groups enter the corporate technology recruiting industry."
- perryh2 4y agoI'm surprised there was a 12-month program to become a sourcer.
- chris11 4y agoIt could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time, and a year would give sourcers a decent amount of experience if they wanted to leave.
- waych 4y agoI don't know that this is the case for the lady in the article, but usually recruiters/sourcers at these companies are on contract for 12 months max, due to the hiring company not wanting them to appear as employees and thus not get full benefits.
