Role
Who you are
- Recruiting experience is optional. Exceptional talent judgment is not. You need a track record of deal-making and running a funnel with outsized success: a super-connector, a headhunter, a sports scout , a founder who hired the first twenty, or a background we have not thought of
- Outsized Results in a Funnel You Owned: Pipeline from nothing, conversion well above peers. Bring the numbers
- Judgment: You recognize exceptional people others overlook. You've been right when others weren't, and can explain both your best calls and your mistakes
- Persistent Without Ego: You find a sixth way through a closed door, know when to change your mind, and earn the respect of people you don't land
- Demonstrated Excellence Before This: Academic, commercial, entrepreneurial, competitive, or otherwise
- Travel: 20%
What the job involves
- The exceptional people we assemble are the source of Distyl's competitive advantage. The quality of our work is set by who we find before anyone else does
- Most companies run recruiting as a process that fills seats. We want a hunter: someone who would rather spend a month landing one exceptional person than a week closing three adequate ones
- This is a scouting role - you develop an independent view of exceptional talent and persuade others through evidence. You will work with the founders and executive-team, own the front of the funnel, and partner with the Recruiting team on sourcing, process and closing
- Judgement: Form an independent view of exceptional talent before the credentials make it obvious. Back your judgment with evidence, track your accuracy, and learn when you're wrong
- Build the Talent Map: Know the best people in our target markets, where they are, and what would move them. Most will not be looking
- Pursue the Unreachable: When a hiring manager says the profile does not exist, you find three
- Run Scouting Like a Business: Prioritized markets, a pipeline, a cadence, and conversion you understand at every stage
- Own the Outcome: You are measured on the quality of who we land, judged a year in. The funnel numbers are how you get there
- What Success Looks Like
- Within 6 months: a map of exceptional people in our priority markets, a pipeline of people who weren't looking, and hires conventional recruiting would have missed. You have a clear record of your scouting convictions, the evidence behind them, and what you've learned from the outcomes
