Job description

The Opportunity

Nascent is on the hunt for a sharp, instinctive Talent Scout to help us find the outliers—the people with drive, edge, and potential to build what doesn’t yet exist. You might be early in your recruiting journey (1–3 years in sourcing, coordination, or recruiting), but you already have the eye. You know great when you see it—and you don’t wait for it to apply.

You’ll lead searches across investing, engineering, and platform roles, working closely with hiring managers to define success, craft strategy, and close exceptional people. You’ll coordinate across the full funnel—from sourcing to close—while ensuring every candidate experience is crisp and clear. If you’re fascinated by what drives human performance and love helping people find the right arena to compete and grow, this is your shot.

This is a remote role, with travel for in-person work and retreats.

What You’ll Do

• Hunt for exceptional talent across domains—proactively, creatively, and fast
• Run full-cycle searches: define role needs, source, assess, and close
• Build outreach and job content that’s high-signal and compelling
• Orchestrate interview loops, offers, and hiring team comms with speed and clarity
• Use our AI-powered recruiting stack—automated sourcing, GPTs, and dashboards—to scale and sharpen your work
• Track emerging talent and build long-term relationships for future opportunities
• Be a trusted partner to both hiring managers and candidates—someone who understands motivation, potential, and fit

About You

• 1–2 years of recruiting experience, likely as a sourcer or recruiting coordinator, with recent promotion to recruiter
• Sharp instincts for talent—you can spot drive, curiosity, and edge in someone’s story
• Strong communicator: you write clearly, speak directly, and build trust quickly
• Motivated by human performance, growth, and the psychology of high achievers
• Naturally curious and persistent—you follow threads, ask better questions, and don’t give up easily
• Comfortable using AI tools and recruiting tech to move faster and be more effective

Bonus Points

• Experience recruiting in early-stage or high-performance environments (trading, crypto, AI, startups)
• Exposure to hiring for technical or investing roles
• You’ve built sourcing automations, talent tracking dashboards, or AI workflows
• You have a spidey-sense for potential—even in non-obvious resumes or unconventional career paths
