Role summary

Conversion is seeking a Founding Talent Acquisition/Recruiting Sourcer to build and own the company's sourcing function from the ground up. This role involves partnering directly with founders and hiring managers to identify and engage exceptional talent for both Go-To-Market and technical positions.

We've raised $28M+ from Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital. The team is based in San Francisco and includes engineers, designers, and operators from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC, Shopify, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.
