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.

Responsibilities

• Full-cycle client ownership

  • Lead client kickoffs and clarify hiring goals, success criteria, and constraints
  • Design hiring strategies, timelines, and scorecards
  • Run weekly syncs with founders and hiring managers
  • Own offer strategy, negotiation, and closing

• High-impact searches

  • Work on 3–4 active roles at a time, prioritizing quality over volume
  • Hire across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Leadership
  • Typical roles include:
    • Founding / Senior Engineers (US/EU)
    • Heads of Marketing, Growth, Product (US/EU)
    • 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
  • Guide candidates from first contact through offer and onboarding

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)
