Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Join a small, high-velocity founding team at a pre-seed AI-powered recruiting startup operating in the $600B global headhunting industry.
- • Work directly alongside founders to connect exceptional talent with career-defining opportunities at top VC-backed startups — many in AI.
- • This is a hands-on, high-ownership internship designed for driven overachievers who want to build, not observe.
- • The team operates out of a shared live/work hacker-house in San Francisco, enabling zero-commute days, tight feedback loops, and strong team bonding.
- • If you thrive in fast-moving, informal, and intensely productive environments, this role is for you.
- • Work directly with founders on day-to-day operations across talent sourcing, candidate experience, and client relationships.
- • Own end-to-end workflows connecting candidates with startups — from initial outreach to successful placement.
- • Ensure hundreds of inbound candidates enjoy an outstanding, high-touch experience.
- • Identify and drive process improvements and workflow optimizations across recruiting pipelines.
- • Collaborate cross-functionally with founders, candidates, and startup clients.
- • Take on high-ownership initiatives with real, measurable outcomes.
- • Required:
- • At least 3 months of prior internship experience in a fast-paced environment (consulting, sales, startups, or VC).
- • Demonstrated ability to deliver results with end-to-end ownership in startup or consulting settings.
- • Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
- • Experience working in entrepreneurial, fast-moving, informal team environments.
- • Evidence of exceptional academic performance — top GPA, selective university, substantial projects, or active GitHub contributions.
- • Willingness to relocate to San Francisco and live/work in a shared hacker-house environment.
- • Willingness to commit to 6-day work weeks for the duration of the internship.
- • Nice to Have:
- • Prior experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or candidate relationship management.
- • Familiarity with the VC-backed startup ecosystem and hiring practices.
- • Experience with workflow automation or process optimization.
- • Compensation & Benefits:
- • Visa sponsorship available.
- • Direct access to and mentorship from founders with backgrounds at top-tier firms.
- • Immersive, high-growth environment with strong team culture.
- • Location:
- • This is a fully on-site role based in San Francisco, CA.
- • The team lives and works together in a shared hacker-house — relocation to San Francisco is required.
- • Remote work is not available for this position.
