Job Description

About Us

Day One Partners is a fast-growing recruiting firm. We partner with startups, venture funds, and tech companies to help them hire top talent. We're building a modern recruiting platform powered by technology, data, and exceptional people.

We work hard, learn fast, and earn trust through outstanding results.

About the Role

This isn't your typical 9-to-5 job. If you're seeking a relaxed 40-hour workweek, this role isn't for you. We're hiring entry-level Talent Partners: ambitious, driven individuals ready to make things happen. You'll work directly with founders and hiring managers at fast-moving startups. The work is intense, dynamic, and hands-on. You'll gain more experience in one year than most people do in three.

What You'll Learn

• The VC and Startup Ecosystem in LA, SF and NYC
• How to build real relationships with clients and candidates
• How to find and evaluate great talent
• How to manage full-cycle recruiting
• How to use modern tools like Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, and CRM systems
• How to communicate clearly and handle high-stakes conversations
• How to stay sharp and productive in a fast-paced environment

What You'll Do

• Source and reach out to candidates
• Run recruiting workflows from outreach to offer
• Schedule and track interviews
• Keep tools and systems organized
• Help shape recruiting strategy and process

What We're Looking For

• Class of 2025 or recent grad
• Strong writing and communication skills
• Curious, sharp, and quick learner
• Organized and detail-focused
• Genuine interest in startups, tech, and recruiting
• Hustler mentality: you want to win, not just show up
• Bonus: experience with VC, recruiting, sales, or startup internships

Why Join Us

• Work directly with execs, founders, and hiring teams
• Learn how to recruit and how businesses grow
• Join a team that values action, not just talk
• Base salary ($70,000) + performance pay: $90K–$150K OTE
• Fast path to real responsibility and growth

We filled 2 of our 5 openings so far. Both candidates did the below.
