Job Description

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come. This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1000+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched. Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started. As Harvey's first Talent Research hire, you will be the driving force behind executive-level sourcing and talent mapping for the organization. You will operate as an internal search firm for high-priority Director+ level searches, bringing world-class sourcing methodology, deep market intelligence, and a relentless focus on identifying and engaging elite talent. This is a foundational role that will define how Harvey builds pipelines and proactively maps the market for senior leadership talent. You will be instrumental in creating a best-in-class sourcing function that enables Harvey to compete for and win top-tier candidates in a hyper-competitive market.

  • Strategic Sourcing Execution: Serve as the primary sourcer for high-priority executive searches, leveraging creative sourcing strategies, Boolean search techniques, and multi-channel outreach to identify and engage hard-to-reach candidates. Set expectations around timelines, capacity, and deliverables for each search
  • Market Intelligence & Competitive Insights: Develop deep expertise in Harvey's competitive landscape and talent pools. Provide real-time insights on talent movement, compensation trends, and organizational structures at target companies to inform recruiting strategy and candidate positioning
  • Candidate Engagement & Relationship Building: Craft compelling, personalized outreach that resonates with senior-level talent. Build and nurture long-term relationships with high-potential candidates, even when there is no immediate role, to create a warm pipeline for future needs
  • Sourcing Tools & Research Excellence: Maximize the impact of sourcing and research tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights, Thrive, SeekOut, etc.) to drive efficiency and coverage. Continuously evaluate new tools and techniques to stay ahead of market best practices
  • Recruiter Enablement: Train and upskill recruiters on sourcing best practices, market research techniques, and effective use of talent intelligence platforms, building sourcing capability across the broader team

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in executive talent research, sourcing, or recruiting, ideally with both agency/search firm and in-house exposure
  • Proven track record of successfully mapping markets and building robust talent pipelines for senior leadership roles in high-growth, global companies
  • Expert-level proficiency in sourcing and research tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights, Thrive, SeekOut, Boolean search, etc.) with the ability to train others on best practices
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and nurture passive senior-level candidates
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously
  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • eager to build processes and infrastructure from scratch
  • Experience building or contributing to executive sourcing or recruiting functions at a high-growth company is strongly preferred
