Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience recruiting in startup environments, ideally from pre-seed to Series C.
- Proven track record of placing technical and commercial roles for venture-backed startups.
- Expertise in headhunting, outbound sourcing, and leveraging multiple recruiting channels.
- Strong familiarity with recruiting tech stacks, including ATS and AI sourcing tools.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and manage founder expectations.
- Highly self-motivated, independent, and accountable, with a proactive ownership mindset.
- Knowledge of which channels convert best for specific roles and the ability to apply that insight strategically.
Benefits:
- Competitive placement earnings: up to $12,000 USD per successful placement.
- Repeat business opportunities with returning clients (60%+ of revenue from returning startups).
- Flexible, fully remote work in your preferred time zone.
- Access to best-in-class recruiting tools and AI sourcing platforms.
- Structured onboarding and immediate access to new assignments.
- High-trust, performance-driven culture with autonomy and accountability.
