Job description
About the company
You’ll be joining a quickly scaling consumer crypto-trading startup that is building a next-generation experience for retail traders. The business is supported by leading investors and is still small, highly technical, and ambitious, with multiple roles opening up across the company. This is an early opportunity to take ownership of a function that will shape how the organization grows.
The opportunity
The company is starting to build its recruiting capability internally and is looking for someone to run hiring from end to end, with a clear path to becoming Head of Talent within one to two years. In this role, you will act as the central point of coordination for all open positions, work with outside recruiting partners, find and assess candidates, and create a more structured and repeatable hiring process.
This position is best suited to someone who truly wants to build a career in talent and stay in that lane long term, rather than a generalist seeking a short-term stopover. The founders work quickly, are able to move top candidates through the process in just a few days, and want a partner who can operate with the same pace. Both compensation and equity are expected to increase as you demonstrate impact.
Responsibilities
- Oversee recruiting workflows across several open positions and coordinate with external recruiting agencies and partners.
- Find and engage strong candidates while identifying the most promising talent pools for each role.
- Create candidate profiles and well-defined assessment standards, including examples of relevant backgrounds and what strong profiles look like.
- Work closely with the founders to refine sourcing plans and improve speed, communication, and coordination throughout hiring.
- Help shift the hiring approach from instinct-led decision-making to a more organized and scalable system as the company expands.
Requirements
- 1 to 4 years of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or a closely related area; exceptional candidates with internship experience and strong drive may also be considered.
- Exposure to startup environments, venture capital, or talent settings with a quant-style mindset.
- Clear interest in specializing in talent and progressing toward a Head of Talent position over time.
- Strong organizational skills, a fast working style, and comfort managing many moving pieces at once.
- Preferred: experience hiring for early-stage startups, or experience gained at a venture firm or recruiting-oriented organization.
