This is not a classic recruiter role.
As a Talent Partner at A-Players, you act as a business-facing hiring operator. You own client relationships end-to-end and are responsible for delivering high-impact hires that shape companies-not just fill headcount. You work in an AI-native way to analyze roles, markets, and candidates beyond surface signals and make high-quality hiring decisions.
You’ll work directly with founders and C-level leaders, run complex searches across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Leadership, and represent A-Players as a trusted hiring partner.

Full-cycle client ownership

- Design hiring strategies, timelines, and scorecards
- Run weekly syncs with founders and hiring managers

-
High-impact searches
- Work on 3–4 active roles at a time, prioritizing quality over volume
- Hire across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Leadership

- Senior CSMs, Designers, VC Analysts, CEOs (US/EU)
-
Candidate experience & judgment
- Conduct deep, structured interviews focused on skills, mindset, and A-Player traits
- Assess beyond job titles-motivation, decision-making, ownership, growth trajectory

Requirements
- Strong English (Upper-Intermediate or higher, written and spoken)
- Ability to overlap 2–4 hours with US time zones
- Full-time availability (this is not a freelance or side role)
