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. You’ll be responsible for turning that hunch into reality and having full ownership to craft a magical experience for our recruiters.We’re fortunate to be both growing extremely fast and profitable. We've 10x-ed in the past year to low 8 figures in annualized GMV/multi-7 figure run rate with a small, close-knit team and have a clear plan to 10x again in 2025.Challenges we'll tackle together:Imagine the complexity Airbnb had to face when finding new hosts when they launched in NYC, or how Uber had to acquire drivers for every country they were in, or when Instacart had to sell into large supermarkets early on.Paraform's supply side is no different and this role is pivotal in cracking the recruiter front of the marketplace.You will be responsible for recruiter activation and growth, ensuring every company brought into the platform (demand side) has sufficient recruiters (supply side) to fill their roles.Paraform is B2B on both sides, we strictly only engage with recruiting agencies of varying sizes, from solopreneur agency owners to some of the largest staffing firms with thousands of recruiters.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>With this role you will become an exceptional operator for the next big B2B marketplace.

Really excited to use our own platform to hire :)

Biz Ops & Strategy


Great catching up with you Friday, John.  Here's a first pass at the general ops post --but happy to iterate this/get it into the right format.  If you like this, I'll do one for SDRs?

Business Operations at A*

A*, a venture firm that backed Uber, Airbnb and SpaceX among others, is looking to hire a business operations lead.  This is a newly created role reporting to one of the firm's three founders.  

What is Business Operations?

This role is designed to help support our portfolio's most rapidly growing companies.  Primary responsibilities:

Air Traffic Comms: streamline and bring process to communication channels between our portfolio companies and the firm.  Example: standardize hiring needs, intro requests, company updates and pitches.  This is a high volume, high transaction part of the job.  Outcome: monthly metrics, standardized reporting, speed.

New Company Onboarding: A great deal of this job is to onboard recent investments and help founders understand resources available to them.  Example: logging and posting their hiring needs, or introduction requests.  Outcome: turning a manual process into an semi-automated process using off-the-shelf enterprise software like Affinity.

Event and Media: The balance of the role requires some socializing and extrovert tasks, like attending and helping to host founder dinners, company events and product launches.  Example: posting events on LInkedin, helping to collect compelling stories or anecdotes about our founders.  Outcome: become a Linkedin node for cool new companies, products or super star players hired.

Working Hard: We are a 100% in-person, hard-driving culture.  We win because we believe time kills deals.  Our job is to source, identify and recruit the best founders in the world.  We do this by working with integrity, transparency, and brute outreach.  We shirk all ego and work as a fast-moving family unit.  You're joining a small 10 person team with no drama and no grandstanding.  Our aim is to guild founders from idea to IPO.  This requires a relentless focus on people and working on problems that matter.

Profile and Requirements: 2-5 years experience with a compelling personal story, ideally a top school or program, currently residing in San Francisco.  Excellent oral and written communication chops.  Attention to detail.  Curiosity for why things succeed; willingness to be wrong; willingness to help; willingness to use evidence not opinions.  Joyousness and the conviction that technology is making our lives not only better but safer and with increased value.  

Compensation: $90,000-125,000 per year plus carry (equity) and full benefits.
