Too much noise
Applicant volume can create more work while doing little to improve the hiring decision.
Founder-led recruiting · Judgment, not volume.
A full pipeline can still hide the real problem: the role is unclear, screening stays shallow, or nobody owns the follow-through. Sourcce brings deliberate search, personal evaluation, and direct founder involvement to technical and professional hiring.
A brief, practical conversation about the role, the challenge, and the support that would be most useful.
The real problem
Hiring is often treated as a volume problem when it is really a judgment problem.
Applicant volume can create more work while doing little to improve the hiring decision.
A job description can identify technically plausible people. Success requires a deeper understanding of the work, the team, and the environment around the role.
Managers get busy, candidates wait, interviews stall, feedback arrives late, and strong people quietly choose another company.
The Sourcce belief
We optimize for confidence, not candidate quantity. A useful shortlist explains who is worth your time, what we learned in conversation, why each person may fit, and what still needs to be tested.
Fewer candidates. Better context. A search someone actually owns.The Sourcce Search

Real operator experience
1–2→30+
software engineers in just under three years
Before establishing Sourcce in September 2025, Alex helped grow a software engineering organization from roughly one or two engineers to more than thirty. Alongside the hiring work, he helped build the practical systems that made the growth operable.
That experience is the foundation of Sourcce’s People & Hiring Infrastructure work: helping growing companies build both the team and the systems around it.

Founder-led by design
Alex Merino spent 20+ years hiring, training, managing, and building teams through hospitality and operations, has worked in dedicated recruiting since June 2021, and established Sourcce in September 2025.
That means he understands hiring as someone who has had to run the team, train the person, manage performance, and live with the decision afterward. Clients work with a small team, with Alex personally involved in the candidates Sourcce presents.
Meet Alex and the thinking behind SourcceBefore we talk
Our strongest territory is software engineering, technical, SaaS, and professional roles—specialized work where the right people can be identified, approached, and thoughtfully evaluated.
We recruit US talent for US companies and LATAM talent for companies hiring internationally. We can support other international searches when the role and market are a strong fit.
With a thorough kickoff about the work, the team, the manager, the environment, and what success actually looks like. The point is to gather enough context to own the search without consuming your week.
Founder involvement, deliberately small shortlists, personally screened candidates, clear context behind every recommendation, and human judgment throughout the process. AI supports research and administration so the team can focus more attention on people and decisions.
Focused Search is success-based. Shortlist Search and infrastructure work are project-based, while Fractional Recruiting is a monthly engagement. Scope is clarified before work begins.
Focused Search includes a 90-day replacement guarantee, subject to the terms of the engagement. The guarantee provides a replacement search and is governed by those engagement terms.
People & Hiring Infrastructure focuses on operational systems, workflows, documentation structure, ownership, and handoff. Employment law, payroll, benefits, regulated compliance, and legal review remain with the client’s qualified specialists.
Every candidate interview, evaluation, advancement or rejection decision, and client conversation is handled by people. AI supports research, market mapping, organization, and repetitive administration.
