Recruiting is the highest leverage action any company can take. Hundreds of billions are spent on staffing and recruiting per year because of how difficult yet critical it is. Hiring the best candidate for any role should take days not months and believe we're best positioned to solve this at scale with our AI-enabled recruiting marketplace.Our customers come to us with a hunch that the only way to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paraform.com/company/palantir/cm1pqdssi001sk20czqhcpn32?recruiter=true">build an engineering team</a> of 8 with secret clearance based in D.C. or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paraform.com/company/elevenlabs/cm4gqnjpl000bjz0csx88leix?recruiter=true">find an AI safety engineer</a> in London is to outsource their recruiting efforts.

Our supply-side are businesses - recruiting agencies of varying sizes - from solopreneur agency owners to some of the largest staffing firms with thousands of recruiters.You will be responsible for building the future of how recruiters work. Starting with ensuring every company that is listed on the marketplace has sufficient recruiters and thereafter ensuring recruiters work in the most efficient way possible. This is a 2 pronged role:<ol><li>Client facing (Sales + Customer Success) with an 'always be selling' mindset whilst treating every recruiter as a VIP client</li><li>High leverage strategy (Ops/Product) with a focus on being able to operationalize repetitive tasks and empowering the engineering team to build impactful internal and user facing tools.</li></ol>Join us to become an exceptional hyper-growth business operator and have the potential to be promoted to Head of Product of the next big B2B marketplace.

Responsibilities: hardware design, DFM, process documentation, mentoring. Salary: $110k-$160k.

Christopher Ngo

Neros is transforming a defense industry mired in costly, behemoth machinery—to circumvent a looming vulnerability gap, to give dismounted soldiers a fighting chance against tanks, and ultimately, to get as many humans off the battlefield as possible.While consumer technology is evolving by bounds on the smaller-cheaper-better path, U.S. defense technology wallows in the large, centralized, and wildly expensive paradigm. Our air, land, and sea machinery budget is staggering; yet these large assets can still be vulnerable to very small weapons. When swarm technology comes into its own, the asymmetry will escalate. Nowhere is the pattern more glaring than in small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS)—drones.&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/partnering-with-neros-next-gen-drones-made-in-america/">https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/partnering-with-neros-next-gen-drones-made-in-america/</a>
