The Talent & Partnerships Associate is responsible for expanding the team’s candidate pipeline through networking, outreach, and relationship-building. This person attends events, connects with students, founders, engineers, designers, and other high-potential candidates, then identifies strong fits and routes them to the internal recruiting team.

Responsibilities

• Attend networking events, university events, hackathons, meetups, and startup/community gatherings.

• Build relationships with potential candidates, student leaders, builders, and community members.

• Identify strong candidates who may be a good fit for current or future roles.

• Represent the company professionally in public-facing conversations.

• Maintain a lightweight contact list of promising candidates and relevant community connections.

• Support outreach campaigns for recruiting, partnerships, and community growth.

• Provide feedback on candidate quality, market interest, and recruiting opportunities.

Ideal Fit

This role is best for someone who is social, proactive, well-connected, and comfortable starting conversations with new people. The ideal person can recognize strong talent early, build trust quickly, and help turn casual connections into serious recruiting opportunities.

The Reality
