Candidate Sourcer, US Tech and AI Roles | Remote USA or Canada | Commission Only | Part Time or Full Time

We have the jobs. We have the clients. We need someone who can find the talent and get them on the phone.

Big Wave Digital is a specialist technology and AI recruitment firm, founded in Sydney in 2010. Our US desk places Forward Deployed Engineers and Strategists, founding engineers, AI agent and ML infrastructure specialists, and growth leaders into venture-backed startups. Live roles right now sit between $150,000 and $400,000 in total comp, with equity on most of them.

We have more approved, live US roles than we have hours in the day to fill. That is the entire reason this role exists.

Why we're hiring in North America

Our team is in Australia. Your candidates are not. Every hour we spend chasing a Bay Area engineer at 2am is an hour wasted, and a good candidate lost to whoever called them first. We need someone who is awake when the US market is awake, so this is a hard requirement: you must live and work in a US or Canadian time zone.

What you'll do

• Write and post job ads for our live US roles on the boards and channels that actually convert
• Source through LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, communities, and our inbound applicant flow
• Pick up the phone. Call candidates across US and Canadian time zones and qualify them properly
• Screen against the client scorecard: relevant experience, comp expectations, location and onsite requirements, work authorization, notice period, and real motivation
• Hand over a clean, evidenced shortlist with your notes, ready for us to submit

What you'll never do

No business development. No cold calls to clients, no pitching, no "quick intro" meetings, no sales targets. We hold every client relationship directly and we intend to keep it that way. You will never be asked to sell to a company. Not in month one, not ever.

What we provide

• Live, approved roles with real hiring managers and genuinely fast processes
• Full job specs, scorecards, salary bands, visa policies, and client context
• All client contact, submissions, interview coordination, feedback, and offer management, handled by us
• Our ad copy and outreach templates if you want them

What you need

• Your own active LinkedIn Recruiter seat. This one is not negotiable
• Proven sourcing experience in technology, engineering, or AI
• The phone confidence to call a senior engineer or an ex-MBB consultant and hold a real conversation about their career
• Based in the United States or Canada, working US-friendly hours
• Self-directed. We're a small team on the other side of the world and we don't hover

The deal

Commission only. Part time or full time, your call. Rates are generous and we'll talk about them openly on our first conversation. This suits an experienced sourcer who wants to earn on results without a desk, a manager, or a sales quota. It won't suit anyone who needs a base salary while they learn the market.

To apply

Email [email protected] with a short note covering what you've sourced, the tools you have access to, and the hours you want to work. No cover letter required. I read every email myself and I reply.
