## Job description

## The Role

- We're looking for a Recruiter who loves the full cycle of bringing great people into great companies. You'll be the engine behind search execution for PCT's clients, companies ranging from pre-seed to pre-IPO, taking roles from intake through sourcing, screening, and close, alongside a team that runs on AI-native tools and creative sourcing.
- This role is perfect for someone who thrives on momentum, enjoys managing several searches at once, and gets satisfaction from putting the right candidate in front of a hiring manager quickly. You'll work across technical and go-to-market roles, including searches PCT supports through partner platforms like Paraform.
- You'll be part of a small, focused recruiting team within PCT, working with a team lead and alongside our Talent Partners, Talent Engineers, and Technical Sourcers.
- Note: This role is fully remote and open to candidates outside the US, but will require on average 4-5 hours of overlap a day within the 9-6pm PT timezone due to client, team, and candidate overlap.

## What You'll Own

- Search Execution: Work a portfolio of roles across PCT's clients and partner platforms like Paraform, from understanding the role through sourcing, screening, submission, and close.
- Role Selection & Prioritization: Evaluate open roles quickly and focus your time where you can win. You'll know which searches to go deep on, which to work lightly, and which to skip.
- Speed to Submit: Deliver a shortlist of qualified, interested candidates within days, not weeks. Speed and quality both matter.
- Sourcing: Find candidates using Juicebox, Pin, Ashby, and other AI sourcing tools, along with creative, multi-channel outreach that goes beyond LinkedIn.
- Screening & Submissions: Conduct screening calls that assess skills, motivation, and compensation fit, then write clear, compelling candidate summaries that make it easy for hiring managers to say yes.
- Candidate Experience: Keep candidates informed and engaged throughout the process, manage expectations around compensation and timing, and help close offers.
- Client & Platform Communication: Send clear, timely updates to hiring managers and through Paraform, raising risks early, such as misaligned compensation, unclear criteria, or slow feedback.
- Pipeline Tracking: Keep accurate records in Ashby and Paraform, and track your submission-to-interview and interview-to-offer ratios so you know what's working.
- Outreach Testing: Experiment with messaging and channels, share what works with the team, and help improve our contingency playbook.

## What You'll Bring

- Experience: 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with a meaningful part of that in agency or other fast-paced, placement-driven environments. You've closed hires for US-based companies, ideally startups or tech companies.
- Track Record: You can share your numbers, such as placements per quarter, submission-to-hire ratio, or time to first submission, and you're proud of them.
- Recruiting Marketplace Experience: Experience with Paraform or similar recruiting marketplaces is a plus.
- Range: Comfortable recruiting for technical roles (Engineering, Product, Data) and go-to-market roles (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success). You understand these roles well enough to screen effectively.
- Sourcing Skills: Strong Boolean, research, and outreach skills. You enjoy finding people, and you don't wait for inbound applications.
- AI Fluency: You use AI tools like Claude every day for research, outreach drafting, and screening prep, and you're quick to learn new platforms.
- Communication: Excellent written and spoken English. You can confidently lead a screen with a senior US candidate and write a submission a founder will read.
- Self-Management: You manage your own pipeline, prioritize without being told, and stay consistent when results take time.

This Role Probably Isn't for You If...

- You prefer a guaranteed salary. Your earnings here come from placements.
- You've only worked in-house and haven't experienced the pace of agency-style recruiting.
- You prefer working on one or two searches at a time rather than juggling a portfolio.
- You mostly rely on inbound applicants or LinkedIn Recruiter alone.
- You haven't used AI tools beyond basic ChatGPT prompts.
- You need daily direction to stay productive.

Contract Terms

- This is an independent contractor role. There is strong potential for extension and growth as this team grows, including opportunities to take on larger accounts or a team lead role. This contract role does not include standard company benefits. PCT believes in growing with talented people who are committed to building exceptional teams.

PCT partners with exceptional venture-backed companies to build resilient, people-centric, diverse teams. Our clients span industries and stages, from pre-seed startups to companies preparing for IPO, including leading tech organizations like Notion, Lyft, Modern Health, Instacart, Uber, Google, Render, and GitHub. These companies share a commitment to building strong culture, high-performing teams, and innovative people programs.

## About People Culture Talent

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: People Culture Talent (PCT) partners with venture-backed startups to build exceptional teams through embedded talent search, people operations, and culture‑building services.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Tianna Johnson and Caitlin Cooke

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Human Resources / Talent & People Operations
- **Target customers**: Venture‑backed technology startups at all stages (seed to pre‑IPO), venture capital firms, and high‑growth companies.
- **Mission**: “To build better founders and companies by creating the people, culture, and talent foundations that generational companies are made of.”

## Products & Services
PCT offers a full suite of services organized around three pillars:
- **Talent** – Retained and embedded executive search, recruiting process design, talent strategy, ATS implementation (Ashby partner), candidate experience design, and recruiting metrics.
- **Culture** – Values definition and operationalization, workplace culture development, mission/vision/framework creation, retreat/offsite planning, and employer branding.
- **People** – Organizational design & headcount planning, performance management systems, leveling & career architecture, total rewards, benefits strategy, onboarding/offboarding, payroll & HRIS implementation, manager enablement, and fractional services (marketing, customer support, L&D, Chief of Staff).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private, no disclosed funding).
- **Key Metric**: 220 total employees (as of early 2025); companies they have scaled average 300% annual growth.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Not an investment‑backed firm; clients and partners include Andreessen Horowitz (where co‑founder Caitlin Cooke advised portfolio companies), Ashby (premier implementation partner), Rippling, Lattice, Leapsome, Gem, Juicebox.
- **Growth Signals**: 5 offices globally (San Francisco, plus remote hubs across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Philippines). Currently hiring engineers (Founding Engineer, Product Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer) indicating a push to build internal platform tools. Have scaled a single client from 10 to 800 team members.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Embedded operating model** – PCT works inside the client’s tools (Slack, ATS, etc.), providing full transparency and real‑time collaboration, unlike traditional agencies.
- **Boutique by design** – The firm intentionally stays small and flat, with senior operators directly managing every engagement. No handoffs to junior consultants.
- **Proven pattern recognition** – Founders have personally scaled engineering and talent teams at Lyft (400→7,000 for IPO), GitHub (through Microsoft acquisition), Notion (20→600, $500M→$10B valuation), and ID.me (100→1,500).
- **Full‑lifecycle offering** – Covers everything from first hire to pre‑IPO people infrastructure, making it a one‑stop partner for founders.

## Strategic Focus
- Deepen the “platform” side of the business by building internal software and systems (ATS implementations, people analytics, automation).
- Expand fractional services across more functions (marketing, customer support, L&D, Chief of Staff).
- Maintain a people‑first, high‑trust culture that mirrors what they advise clients to build.
- Continue serving the venture‑backed ecosystem, from early‑stage founders to later‑stage transformations.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a team of seasoned operators who are “unapologetically embedded” and committed to honest counsel. Values include accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
- **Work style**: Hybrid environment with a mix of remote and on‑site work. Offices in San Francisco and remote hubs across multiple countries. Some roles are fully remote, others require in‑office presence (SF).
- **Team**: Small (220 employees) but expanding; direct access to founders and partners. Engineers and non‑engineering roles alike work on high‑impact projects for top VC‑backed startups.
- **Perks**: Not publicly detailed; typical benefits for a Bay Area talent firm likely include competitive compensation, flexibility, and the opportunity to shape the people‑tech ecosystem.
