- Build candidate profiles and clear evaluation criteria, including example backgrounds and what makes a candidate strong
- Partner closely with the founders to iterate on sourcing strategy and improve response times and coordination
- Move recruiting from intuition-based to a more systematic, scalable approach as the team grows
Requirements
- 1-4 years of experience in recruiting, talent, or a closely related function (strong candidates with internship experience and exceptional drive will be considered)
- Exposure to startups, venture capital, or quant-style talent environments
- A genuine desire to specialize in talent and grow into a Head of Talent role over time
- Highly organized, fast-moving, and comfortable owning coordination across many moving parts
