Recruiter (Path to Head of Talent)

Location: United States (remote)

Work Model: Fully remote

Industry: Consumer crypto-trading

Compensation: $100K-$170K base, plus equity

About the Company

Our partner is a fast-moving consumer crypto-trading startup building a next-generation platform for retail traders. Backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly, their team is small, technical, and ambitious, with several roles opening across the business. This is a chance to step in early and own a function that directly shapes how the company scales.

The Opportunity

Our partner is bringing talent in-house for the first time and wants someone who will own recruiting end to end and grow into a Head of Talent within the next one to two years. You will be the connective tissue across all open roles, coordinating with external recruiting partners, sourcing and identifying strong candidates, and building a more systematic, repeatable approach to hiring.

This role is for someone who is genuinely excited to specialize in talent and own it long-term. The founders move fast, can close strong candidates in days, and want a partner who matches that energy.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate recruiting processes across multiple open roles and manage relationships with external recruiting partners
• Source and identify strong candidates, mapping out where the best talent pools live for each role
• Build candidate profiles and clear evaluation criteria
• Partner closely with the founders to iterate on sourcing strategy and improve response times
• 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
• 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
• Bonus: experience recruiting for early-stage startups or at a venture firm
