About the Role

This role requires building and owning relationships to compete for top talent against companies 10x our size. It blends strategy with high-leverage execution, involving designing targeting strategies, crafting messaging, executing outreach, and analyzing results. The position is responsible for building and running an optimized outbound talent acquisition motion.

Responsibilities

Build & Execute the Talent Acquisition Engine
Run sophisticated Boolean searches in tools such LinkedIn Recruiter to identify high-potential candidates across different functions
Review hundreds of profiles daily, assess fit against strategic Ideal Candidate Profiles you've built
Manage multi-touch outreach sequences across dozens of candidates simultaneously
Conduct quick screening calls with interested candidates to assess fit and maintain pipeline velocity
Experiment with creative sourcing beyond LinkedIn - targeted email, Twitter/X, Slack communities, Reddit, conference lists
Design role-specific acquisition strategies: who's the target market, where do they congregate, what motivates them to move?
Build and continuously refine Ideal Candidate Profiles based on what patterns emerge in your best hires
Create messaging frameworks optimized for different personas - test hooks, value props, personalization approaches
Run structured experiments: A/B test subject lines, try different outreach sequences, measure everything
Optimize & Scale
Build dashboards tracking the metrics that matter: response rates by message type, conversion through each funnel stage, time-to-engagement, source effectiveness
Analyze what's working and what's not - which companies yield the best candidates? Which messages get responses? Where are bottlenecks?
Document winning strategies into repeatable playbooks that can eventually scale beyond you
Conduct market intelligence: where does top talent congregate? What are competitive comp packages? Who's hiring and who's laying off?
Present insights and recommendations to leadership on talent market dynamics and acquisition strategy
Optimize workflows and build automation where it makes sense (but know when personal touch matters more)
Partner & Collaborate
Work closely with the founders to understand what they need and ensure seamless candidate handoffs
Collaborate with hiring managers to truly understand roles beyond the job description
Train and leverage offshore sourcing support for high-volume, lower-touch searches
Share learnings across the team and continuously raise the bar on candidate quality

Requirements

1-3 years in management consulting (MBB strongly preferred), strategy consulting, or top-tier strategy & operations
Builder mentality: energized by creating something from scratch, even if it means doing unglamorous work initially
Analytical + scrappy: think in frameworks and optimize based on data, but also willing to hustle and do what it takes
Exceptional written communication: can write dozens of compelling, personalized messages daily that actually get responses
Intellectual honesty: clear-eyed about trading some prestige for ownership, impact, and accelerated learning
Resilience: low response rates don't discourage you - they make you curious about how to improve
Strongly Preferred: Experience with high-volume outbound work (sales development, growth marketing, bizdev)
Natural curiosity about people, what motivates them, and how to craft compelling narratives
Competitive drive - want to win talent away from top companies
Systems thinking - document and systematize as you go, building toward scale
Genuine interest in how great companies are built, organizational design, or talent strategy
You see repetitive work as an opportunity to build systems and get better, not as beneath you
Love immediate feedback loops and rapid iteration
Want to own outcomes, not just contribute to them
Excited about building the foundation of something that will eventually scale beyond you
