Good, this advert is for you!
Naturally, ‘Talent’ is a core part of the work and we’re seeking an Associate level (2-5 years) recruiter who wants to take either their in house or agency experience to the next level.
What You’ll Do
Search Europe’s major tech start ups for the very best performers and help them become founders. This is a role focused on deep connections with the UK founder community. You will meet exceptional people and talk to them about ambitions for the future to find out if we’re a suitable place to help them. We don’t sell jobs here, there are no salaries or benefits to pitch. You’re working towards their ultimate ambitions and taking them off the beaten path.
Beyond sourcing and recruiting you will also interview them for our programme to make sure they meet the high standards of our investment criteria.
How We Help Founders
Primarily we help Entrepreneurs find Co-Founders. Every 6 months we put together a programme of over 80 people from commercial and technical backgrounds who can work together on difficult problems.
Your main role is finding and selecting this group of people. Once in a team we then advise them on start up strategy and finally help them with fundraising through our network of angel investors and venture capital firms.
Once teams have built their products we then provide a cash injection of £80,000 for a 10% stake in that company.
Are we the best Talent Investors in the world?
Over the past 10 years we have built a reputation as the world’s leading talent investor, pioneering the model in 2011. We have over 2500 founders in our community, 6 offices around the world, a portfolio worth just over $6 billion and have raised over $1.5 billion in funding.
Our companies range from deep tech to consumer goods with a diverse range of sectors from biotech to finance.
We invest in people who are solving hard problems.
Why would we be a good place for you?
