Talent & People Lead
We're looking for a Talent & People Lead to help shape CapitalOS through the people we bring into the company and the environment we create for them to succeed.
The immediate need is recruiting. As our first Talent & People hire, you'll work directly with company leaders to understand our hiring needs, find and engage exceptional candidates, and own the hiring process from first outreach through close. For the first stretch of this role, hiring is the job.
Over time, the role evolves into building our People function. As the team grows, you'll take on onboarding, feedback and development, employee experience, and people operations, and you'll define how those practices work at CapitalOS.
What You'll Do
- Own recruiting end-to-end across technical and business roles, from defining the search to closing candidates
- Proactively source talent through targeted research, thoughtful outreach, referrals, and relationships
- Partner with founders and hiring managers to define what great looks like for each role and make well-informed hiring decisions
- Give candidates a clear, responsive, and personal experience throughout the process
- Build recruiting processes, tools, and reporting that help us hire effectively, using AI to improve research, outreach, and workflows
- Establish a thoughtful onboarding experience that helps new hires contribute quickly
- As we grow, take ownership of broader HR practices, including feedback, development, employee experience, and people operations
What Success Looks Like (12 Months)
- We consistently attract and hire strong people for our highest-priority roles
- You build qualified candidate pipelines through proactive sourcing and relationships
- Founders and hiring managers trust you to drive searches and maintain a high hiring bar
- Candidates understand what makes CapitalOS compelling and feel well-informed throughout the process
- Recruiting and onboarding run through clear, reliable processes
- You're taking increasing ownership of the HR foundations the company needs as it grows
Who This Role Is For
- You've built strong recruiting skills at an agency or in-house and want to help shape one company over the long term
- You enjoy finding and engaging people who aren't actively looking for their next role
- You want hands-on ownership and close collaboration with founders
- You're excited to grow beyond recruiting into broader HR leadership
- You thrive with autonomy, take initiative, and follow through on the details
- You grow through experience, feedback, and increasing scope
Requirements
- A proven track record of sourcing and closing strong candidates, with specific examples of searches you've personally owned
- Experience running the full recruiting process, including outreach, screening, candidate management, and offers
- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to build trust and tell a compelling company story
- Sound judgment when evaluating candidates and handling sensitive information
- Strong organization and the ability to manage multiple searches independently
- Comfort using recruiting tools, data, and AI to improve how you work
- Availability to travel 3–4 days every quarter for a company offsite
Pluses
- Experience at a recruiting agency serving startups or technology companies
- Experience hiring across both technical and business roles
- Experience creating recruiting processes from scratch
- Exposure to onboarding, employee experience, or other HR responsibilities
- Experience in fintech or B2B SaaS
Prior ownership of an HR function is not required. We're looking for recruiting strength, sound judgment, and the motivation to grow into the broader role.
In your application, please include an example of a challenging search you owned: how you found candidates, what made the search difficult, and the outcome.
We look forward to hearing from you.
