Talent Acquisition Partner (US & EU Markets)
Remote | Full-time | B2+ English | Base ($$1000-2000) + Commission
______________________________________________________________________________
This is not a classic recruiter role.
As a Talent Partner at A-Players, you act as a business-facing hiring operator. You own client relationships end-to-end and are responsible for delivering high-impact hires that shape companies — not just fill headcount. You work in an AI-native way to analyze roles, markets, and candidates beyond surface signals and make high-quality hiring decisions.
You’ll work directly with founders and C-level leaders, run complex searches across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Leadership, and represent A-Players as a trusted hiring partner.
What You’ll Own
Full-cycle client ownership
• Lead client kickoffs and clarify hiring goals, success criteria, and constraints
• Design hiring strategies, timelines, and scorecards
• Run weekly syncs with founders and hiring managers
• Own offer strategy, negotiation, and closing
High-impact searches
• Work on 3–4 active roles at a time, prioritizing quality over volume
• Hire across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Leadership
• Typical roles include:
• Founding / Senior Engineers (US/EU)
• Heads of Marketing, Growth, Product (US/EU)
• Senior CSMs, Designers, VC Analysts, CEOs (US/EU)
Candidate experience & judgment
• Conduct deep, structured interviews focused on skills, mindset, and A-Player traits
• Assess beyond job titles — motivation, decision-making, ownership, growth trajectory
• Guide candidates from first contact through offer and onboarding
Who This Role Is For
You’ll thrive here if you:
• Have a proven track record recruiting in US and/or EU markets
• Are confident working directly with founders and senior stakeholders
• Can manage multiple searches without losing depth or quality
• Think in terms of business impact, not just recruitment mechanics
• Are highly self-directed and comfortable owning outcomes end-to-end
• Care deeply about hiring done right — structured, thoughtful, and ethical
• Work in an AI-native way: you already use AI tools in your daily workflow (research, market mapping, candidate analysis, communication) or actively experiment with them to think faster, go deeper, and make better hiring decisions
Requirements
• Strong English (Upper-Intermediate or higher, written and spoken)
• Ability to overlap 2–4 hours with US time zones
• Full-time availability (this is not a freelance or side role)
