Talent Manager

About The Role

Talent Managers are responsible for working with engineers we've identified as a good match for our partner companies (such as Dropbox, Stripe and Twitch). You'll spend time with each candidate to learn who they are and what they're looking for in their next career move. We want to provide every candidate with a highly personalized experience and help them through every part of the job search process. Starting with getting ready for their first phone calls through to deciding between offers. You can read in more detail how we think about this role here.

Having some experience with technical recruiting, or the technology industry in general, will help a lot. If you've been working as an internal recruiter at a company, you'll really enjoy these three things about this role:

1. You don't have to spend any time sourcing (cold outreach, etc), all the engineers have applied directly to us and are active in the job search process. Our partnership agreements with companies also guarantee that our candidates are fast tracked through to their final round onsite interviews.
2. You get to work representing different candidates and learning about them, which is more varied than delivering a single company sales pitch repeatedly. Your interests are with advocating for the candidate and what's best for them.
3. You'll be working at a company where improving the hiring process is our core product. We want you to contribute ideas on how we can improve the experience for candidates and will treat these as top priority.

Challenges

Being a Talent Manager requires a lot of context switching and multi-tasking. You have to be super organized and detail orientated. Have a genuine interest in people and showing empathy as they explain what they're looking for is important. You'll also need to be adaptable, things can change rapidly during a job search process as a candidate gets new offers and you'll need to help them navigate this and make the best possible choice.

Our Mission

We believe strongly in building a truly meritocratic, unbiased process for finding great talent. Even the best technology companies today still use where people went to college as a proxy for intelligence and ability. We're building a process that looks only at ability, not credentials, so we can have a future where everyone can focus on just learning and being good at what they do, not how they look on paper.

Every aspect of running a company has been improved over the last decade, except hiring. Most decisions are still made using amorphous terms like "gut feel" or "culture fit". They should be made using crisp data. Only a company specializing on this problem, using data collected from the hiring process at hundreds of companies, can solve it. That's the company we're building. Our mission is creating a scientific method for identifying great talent and intelligently routing it to the best place. Starting with software engineers.

Main Responsibilites

Talking to our engineering candidates and learning about their motivation and what they're looking to achieve in their career. Managing the process for each candidate, making sure they're set up to meet companies and things are moving along smoothly. Proving support and advice to candidates throughout the process, especially as they interview at companies. Contributing ideas on how we can improve the candidate experience and process.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity
• Full healthcare benefits
• Experienced team with the best technology investors
• Minimum two weeks vacation policy
• Once a year, free plane ticket to anywhere you've never been before

Reasons to Join

We're working on a problem that has both a clear business model and big positive impact on the world. By building a hiring process that focuses on just skills, not background, we can end credentialism and open up access to the best career opportunities to anyone. The product is working and we've reached profitability. Our biggest constraint is scaling our process to keep up with the inbound applications we're getting from engineers.

We have an experienced founding team that's perfect for solving this problem. Harj was previously the first Y Combinator partner hired by its founders. Ammon and Guillaume founded Socialcam, acquired by Autodesk for $60 million. Some of the best investors are backing us, including Paul Graham & Jessica Livingston (founders of Y Combinator), Sam Altman (President of Y Combinator), Drew Houston (founder of Dropbox) and others: http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/28/triplebyte-3m/
