Our world is transforming, and PTC is leading the way. Our software brings the physical and digital worlds together, enabling companies to improve operations, create better products, and empower people in all aspects of their business.

Today, we are a global team of nearly 7,000 and our main objective is to create opportunities for our team members to explore, learn, and grow – all while seeing their ideas come to life and celebrating the differences that make us who we are and the work we do possible. PTC is looking for a focused and highly resourceful Talent Acquisition Sourcer to identify and engage exceptional talent across Japan. Successful sourcing requires more than finding candidates for an immediate opening. It takes consistent, focused, and sustained work to understand the market, map critical talent segments, build relationships, and develop pipelines that support both current and future business needs. The ideal candidate will bring prior agency search experience and a proven ability to develop talent intelligence, engage passive candidates, and deliver against multiple priorities in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment. What You’ll Do: Develop a deep understanding of PTC’s businesses, talent needs, competitors, and priority talent markets across Japan. Systematically map relevant companies, functions, skills, and individual talent for current and anticipated hiring needs. Build and maintain high-quality pipelines for business-critical and difficult-to-fill positions. Consistently engage passive talent through personalized, credible, and relevant outreach. Build relationships with prospective candidates over time, including individuals who may not be ready to consider an opportunity immediately. Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to define target profiles, align on sourcing priorities, and respond to market feedback. Use market research, professional networks, referrals, LinkedIn, online communities, events, AI-enabled tools, and other channels to identify talent. Conduct initial candidate conversations to assess experience, capabilities, motivations, and career interests. Represent PTC’s businesses, technology, culture, and opportunities accurately and compellingly. Provide market intelligence on talent availability, competitor activity, compensation, candidate expectations, and potential hiring challenges. Track sourcing activity, pipeline health, engagement, and conversion to continually improve effectiveness. Maintain accurate and timely candidate and market information in PTC’s talent systems. Collaborate with regional and global Talent Acquisition colleagues on shared priorities and talent initiatives. Deliver a professional, responsive, and personalized experience in every candidate interaction. What We’re Looking For: 3+ years of talent sourcing or recruitment experience, including meaningful experience within an executive search or recruitment agency. Demonstrated success researching, mapping, and engaging passive talent in competitive markets. Experience managing multiple searches, maintaining sourcing momentum, and delivering against clear activity and outcome expectations. A disciplined and persistent approach to market development and candidate relationship building. Strong research skills and the ability to translate business requirements into focused talent-mapping and sourcing strategies. Intellectual curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding industries, companies, organizational structures, and individual career paths. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create thoughtful and personalized outreach. Confidence engaging experienced and highly sought-after professionals who are not actively considering a move. Strong organization, follow-through, attention to detail, and personal accountability. Comfort using sourcing platforms, applicant tracking systems, CRM tools, market data, and AI-enabled recruiting technology. Native-level or professional fluency in Japanese and strong business-level English. Experience sourcing within technology, enterprise software, SaaS, engineering, or sales markets is strongly preferred. Strong knowledge of the Japanese talent market and an established professional network in Japan are preferred. How Success Will Be Measured: Depth, accuracy, and usefulness of market and talent mapping. Development of qualified pipelines for priority talent segments. Consistency and quality of candidate engagement. Conversion of sourced prospects into recruiter screens, interviews, and hires. Quality of market intelligence provided to recruiters and hiring leaders. Strength of long-term relationships developed with prospective candidates. Candidate and hiring-team experience. Life at PTC is about more than working with today’s most cutting-edge technologies to transform the physical world. It’s about showing up as you are and working alongside some of today’s most talented industry leaders to transform the world around you. If you share our passion for problem-solving through innovation, you’ll likely become just as passionate about the PTC experience as we are. Are you ready to explore your next career move with us?
