Job Description

What We’re Looking For:

At Greylock, we work with startups at critical inflection points where a great First/Founding recruiting hire can be a game-changer. We're looking to connect with exceptional, driven recruiters so we can be a trusted bridge to high-growth startups in our portfolio when their timing is right.

We want builders, not order-takers. You don’t need a big brand behind you to tell a compelling story. You know how to find and close top-tier talent, especially for technical and product roles.

If you’ve only worked in very large, structured organizations and prefer clear paths, limited input, and rigid processes, this isn’t the right fit. But if you know deep down you’re capable of much more, and want to grow in smaller, fast-paced, high-impact environments, this could be a transformative next step.

Key Traits for Success:

• Curiosity — You dig into the people, missions, and challenges behind every search.
• Resilience — You can navigate setbacks, ambiguity, and shifting priorities with focus.
• Strong Opinions, Held Lightly — You bring informed conviction, but know when to adapt.
• Bias Toward Action — You take initiative and build momentum without waiting for instruction.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 2+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in startups or high-growth companies.
• Proven track record hiring for technical or hard-to-fill roles.
• Strong communicator who can influence both candidates and hiring teams.
• Passionate about talent and eager to grow into a senior or leadership role.
• Skilled at creative sourcing and highly organized.

Why Work With Us:

We’re uniquely positioned to connect top recruiters with top founders across a wide range of startups... with no incentive other than to make a great match.

You’ll have access to opportunities that align with your skills, interests, and long-term goals. Whether you’re ready to make a move or just want to start a conversation, we’d love to get to know you.

How It Works:

If you apply and seem like a strong match, I’ll reach out to schedule a call. We’ll dive into your experience, goals, and potential fits. If there’s mutual interest, I’ll introduce you directly to founders and step out of the process, though I’m happy to advise along the way. No hand-holding. No middleman. Just a high-trust, high-impact connection that could accelerate your career. Then if nothing aligns immediately, that’s okay, building the relationship now means being ready when the right opportunity comes along.
