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.

company.job.about_job.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

    • Assess beyond job titles — motivation, decision-making, ownership, growth trajectory
    • Guide candidates from first contact through offer and onboarding

company.job.requirements.title
company.job.requirements.what_we_expected

  • Proven track record recruiting in US and/or EU markets
  • Confident working directly with founders and senior stakeholders

  • Think in terms of business impact, not just recruitment mechanics
  • Highly self-directed and comfortable owning outcomes end-to-end
  • Care deeply about hiring done right — structured, thoughtful, and ethical
  • Work in an AI-native way: you already use AI tools in your daily workflow (research, market mapping, candidate analysis, communication) or actively experiment with them to think faster, go deeper, and make better hiring decisions
  • 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)
