Talent Partner (New Grad) - July/August Start Date

Day One Partners is a fast-growing recruiting firm. We partner with startups, venture funds, and tech companies to help them hire top talent. We're building a modern recruiting platform powered by technology, data, and exceptional people.

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

About the Role
We are opening up our second Physical Office in San Francisco this summer! 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.
