We distinguish real humans from bots and bad actors for companies like P&G, Qualtrics, Clay, and VSCO. Our Trajectory (Last 12 Months): - 9x YoY Growth: 9x ARR growth to $5.8M, scaled from 35 to 150+ customers. - Product Dominance: 92% competitive win rate. - Strong Backing: Raised $8.8M Series A. You and Your Role You own the people system at Verisoul: who we hire, how we attract talent, how we pay and promote, how people get enabled, and why they stay with Verisoul for years. You’ll report directly to the CEO, and then work with the Board and other leaders to build the hiring, performance management, onboarding, and culture strategy, and then execute on it. What You’ll Do: - Build a talent-dense company: Own recruiting end to end. Find creative ways to get top people in the door without spending money on firms and make Verisoul the place Austin talent wants to join. - Build the hiring process: Design scorecards, interview loops, a clear bar for talent, interviewer training, and a straightforward path from first conversation to offer, so we hire well and move quickly. - Plan the team with the CEO: Own workforce and headcount planning, including which roles to open, in what order, and what good looks like for each seat, and work with the CEO so hiring is planned rather than reactive. - Own compensation, leveling, and performance: Build salary bands, equity guidelines, reviews, promotions, and incentives so people understand how they get paid, how they grow, and what great looks like as we scale. - Build a culture people want to be part of: Own the culture work that helps people stay and makes recruiting easier, and use our SOUL values as the language for how we hire, manage, and work together. - Help managers get better: Coach hiring managers on interviewing, 1:1s, feedback, and hard conversations, so how we manage people is as thoughtful as how we hire them. - Own people operations: Run benefits, tooling, policies, and rollouts so the day-to-day people systems of a growing company are clear and well run. - Make onboarding excellent: Build an onboarding experience that makes new hires feel welcome, clear on their work, and set up to contribute, and that shows how Verisoul does things well. - Run internal programs: Own Soultanships, perks, and employee events in a way that supports culture and recruiting without becoming the center of the job. What You’ll Bring: - 8+ years across talent, recruiting, and people operations, including time owning both hiring and the broader people system at a high-growth company. - You’ve built a hiring process (scorecards, interview loops, interviewer training) rather than only filling open roles. - You’ve set up or rebuilt compensation, leveling, and performance, not only administered benefits. - You’re good at finding strong people without relying on search firms. - You’re comfortable both running systems (Rippling, headcount planning, policies) and being present with the team (events, onboarding, day-to-day culture). - You have good judgment about people and can tell the difference between someone who interviews well and someone who will actually do the job well. Who You’ll Work With: - CEO and Board: You report to the CEO and work with the Board and other leaders on hiring, performance, onboarding, and culture. - Hiring managers: You partner with them on searches and help them get better at interviewing and managing. - Director of Customer Success and Director of Solutions Architecture: You’ll work with them closely on roles that grow the customer organization. - The rest of the team: You own the path people walk through at Verisoul, from offer and day one through performance, and through an exit when that happens. ## Compensation - Salary: $160,000 – $220,000 - Equity: 0.10% – 0.20% with 4-year vesting - No bonus target - Benefits: 401k match (4%) Life At Verisoul In office 5 days a week in Austin, Texas! Daily doordash, office dog, and very good vibes. ## Benefits - Free Lunch - personalized your way, every day - $10K Relocation Bonus - 100% Insurance Coverage - 4% 401K Match - Flexible Vacation (avg. 20 days/year) - Up to 20 days Remote Annually - Beautiful Office (in a charming bungalow!) ## Our Values (SOUL) - Start from Scratch We solve problems from the ground up. Fraud adapts daily, so we approach problems with a beginner’s mind: challenging assumptions, asking the questions no one else is asking, and rethinking the current way. We focus on finding the best answer and learning something new, even if it means changing our minds. - Own with Optimism We own high-impact problems end to end. We are self-starters and self-finishers: we move independently when we can and orchestrate when we should. We believe there is a solution that will work, even when conventional wisdom says otherwise. That belief gives us the energy to push through challenges and accomplish the impossible, while having fun doing it. - Unique, Real, Human We help companies know that their users are unique, real, and human, and we emulate that in how we build Verisoul. We are building a company that should feel as distinct as the problem we are solving. We win by being unusually creative, unusually fun and joyful to work with, and unmistakably ourselves. - Long-Term Trust We are in the business of building trust. Customers rely on Verisoul millions of times per day: with their users, their data, and decisions that affect their entire business. Trust compounds slowly and can be lost quickly, so we build it through clarity, accountability, and follow-through. ## About Verisoul ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Verisoul provides an all-in-one platform for detecting and preventing fake accounts, bots, and fraud using invisible real-time and identity signals. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Henry LeGard, Niel Ketkar, Raine Scott ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Fraud prevention, identity verification, cybersecurity - **Target customers**: B2B – gaming, social platforms, fintech, e-commerce, market research, PLG SaaS, and affiliate advertising - **Mission or purpose statement**: Restore trust between businesses and their online users, ensuring that users are real, unique, and trusted. ## Products & Services - **Verisoul Platform**: An all-in-one fake account detection solution combining real-time signals (bot detection, device risk, proxy/VPN detection, location spoofing) and identity signals (FaceMatch, phone intelligence, ID check, email intelligence, account linking, device fingerprinting).
