We work hard, learn fast, and earn trust through outstanding results.

About the Role
This isn't your typical 9-to-5 job. If you're seeking a relaxed 40-hour workweek, this role isn't for you. We're hiring entry-level Talent Partners: ambitious, driven individuals ready to make things happen. You'll work directly with founders and hiring managers at fast-moving startups. The work is intense, dynamic, and hands‑on. You'll gain more experience in one year than most people do in three.

Relocation & Interview Logistics
We do not pay for relocation or cover travel expenses. Candidates are expected to interview in person for our onsite interview. We are prioritizing candidates local to Los Angeles or who have ties to LA and plan to be in the area to interview. Limited onsite interview days will be offered in other cities, such as San Francisco, for local candidates with select dates available.
