Creative Talent Sourcer/Recruiter (EMEA/APAC Coverage)

**About the company** Taste Labs is building the data and infrastructure layer for taste. Our goal is to end AI slop. To make AI feel right, not just be correct. We raised $18.5M in seed co-led by Amplify and CRV, and most frontier labs are already customers. AI has nailed objective domains and can generate anything. The hard part left is judgement: what fits, what feels like you, what's actually GREAT. We're turning that into something measurable, starting with design. We do it on two sides: building the post-training data and RL environments that teach taste to frontier models, and the context and verification tools agents need to produce work that's more creative, more on-brand, more right. If that problem excites you, you'll like it here! The TasteMakers Community is a curated expert network of designers, frontend engineers, creative technologists, and AI-native makers. We work with leading AI labs, tech companies, and brands to help frontier AI systems better understand taste, aesthetics, usability, and creative quality. Our work sits at the intersection of design, human judgment, frontend implementation, and AI research — and the network is scaling rapidly across multiple concurrent projects and clients. We need world-class recruiting and talent operations to keep pace. **What we offer:** - **Remote-first:** Work from anywhere - **International coverage:** Help us expand recruiting and expert support across EMEA and APAC time zones - **Path to full-time:** For the right person, there is potential to transition to a permanent role - **Autonomy and ownership:** This is not a button-pushing sourcing role — you will help shape how we find, evaluate, and onboard the best creative talent in the world **The role:** We’re looking for a **Creative Talent Sourcer / Recruiter** based outside of the U.S., ideally in **EMEA or APAC**, who can help us expand our recruiting and expert support coverage across **Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia**. This person will own the full top-of-funnel pipeline and support critical talent operations across the expert lifecycle, with a focus on helping us recruit exceptional creative and technical talent across international markets and time zones. This is not a traditional recruiting role. You’ll be sourcing and evaluating designers, frontend engineers, design engineers, and creative technologists — people whose work spans product design, brand identity, web design, 3D/immersive, motion, illustration, React, Next.js, Swift/SwiftUI, and more. You do not need to be an expert in all of these, but you should have an appreciation for creative and technical work, the curiosity to learn the differences between disciplines, and the eye to tell a strong portfolio from an exceptional one. We’ll teach you the rest. You’ll work closely with our Recruitment Lead to drive the recruiting pipeline from sourcing through onboarding — finding exceptional talent, managing high-volume outreach, screening applications, coordinating assessments, supporting compliance and contracting workflows, and ensuring every expert has a great experience from first touch to first project. Because TasteMakers works with experts around the world, this role is especially important for helping us provide better coverage, faster response times, and stronger candidate support across non-U.S. time zones. The pace is fast. The volume is high. The quality bar is uncompromising. **Responsibilities:** **Sourcing & outreach** - Source exceptional design and engineering talent across LinkedIn, portfolio platforms, social channels, creative communities, and other relevant networks - Build pipelines across international markets, with a focus on EMEA and APAC talent pools - Run and manage high-volume outreach campaigns across multiple channels - Research portfolios and identify candidates aligned with TasteMakers’ quality bar - Build and maintain sourcing pipelines for multiple concurrent roles - Help identify strong creative and technical…
