Talent Sourcing Specialist

What we're doing

Owning a home is a foundational part of building financial security and wealth in America. However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review.

We're here to change it.

Vesta was founded to rebuild the mortgage LOS from the ground up. Our founding belief is that the future of mortgage lending will be a fully automated process. Today, our AI augmented platform makes that a reality. Our mission has been to build a platform where AI isn’t just an add-on, but the core engine that transforms how a loan is actually manufactured.

Who we are

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open and automated origination experience, benefiting financial institutions and their customers.

And, we're not alone.

We've raised $85M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures.

We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the finance industry, we would love to hear from you!

Who you are

You're building a career in recruiting and sourcing is where you want to spend most of your time. You care about the craft of finding great candidates that other recruiters miss and getting them into a real conversation. You're curious, creative, and comfortable going beyond LinkedIn. AI tools like Juicebox, Claude, and purpose built recruiting platforms are already a core part of how you work, or you're eager to make them so. You're also organized, detail oriented, and someone people can count on when it's coordination time, because you know that how someone is treated during the process shapes whether they say yes to an offer and how they talk about Vesta afterward.

About the role

This role has two sides. Sourcing across our open roles is where you'll spend most of your time. Recruiting coordination and candidate experience is a meaningful part of the role too, and how you learn the full lifecycle of recruiting from the inside out.

Sourcing

• Source like it's 2026. Juicebox and other AI sourcing platforms are a daily part of how you work. Search on natural language, surface non obvious profiles, and cut research time so more of your energy goes into the candidate conversation.

• Find talent other recruiters miss. Go beyond LinkedIn. Bring a fresh angle to every req and get better at it as you go.

• Write outreach that gets responses. Specific, human, and tailored, not a template blasted at a hundred people. Use Claude and ChatGPT to personalize at scale, but never at the cost of specificity. The bar is that a candidate can tell you actually spent time on them.

• Get calibrated fast with hiring managers. You can't find great until you know what great is, and hiring managers won't feel confident in your pipeline until you've been in the trenches with them a few times.

Recruiting coordination and candidate experience

• Own how candidates experience Vesta. From the first message through their first day, you're the connective tissue that makes our process feel considered rather than chaotic. Every touchpoint a candidate sees is one you shape.

• Keep the recruiting machine running. When the team is moving fast, you're the reason nothing drops.

• Bring craft to the details. A well written confirmation, a smart interview panel arrangement, a clean debrief packet. The specifics separate a good recruiting operation from a great one.

Across both

• Use AI across the whole role. Beyond sourcing, lean on Claude and ChatGPT to draft communications, summarize interviews, clean data, and cut the mechanical work down. The goal is more of your time on the moments that need real judgment. Keep raising your own bar here as new tools come out.

• Grow into your path. You'll get real exposure to sourcing and coordination from day one. Over time, we'll partner with you on where you want to specialize (technical recruiter, dedicated sourcer, or GTM recruiter) and shape the role to lean in that direction.

• Hold the bar. Whether you're writing an outreach message or scheduling an interview, treat it like it matters, because it does.

[Optional] Bonus Points!

• 1 to 3 years of sourcing, recruiting coordination, or related recruiting experience, ideally at a tech or growing company

• Familiarity with an ATS (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, or comparable) and modern sourcing tools

• Active daily user of Claude, ChatGPT, or comparable in your workflow

• Strong written communication, especially for candidate facing outreach and email

• High personal bar for quality in the details and in who moves through the funnel

Benefits and Perks

• Robust medical, vision, & dental coverage (~100% of employee premiums are covered)

• 401(K) plan offering

• Meaningful parental leave - 16 weeks fully paid for all new parents, birthing & non-birthing parents (applies to adoptions as well!)
