Agentic hiring marketplace. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

That’s this job. You find outstanding candidates, get them onto Standout, and get them intro’d to companies that will hire them. Every step of that pays you. You will be measured on four numbers, on a leaderboard, updated live: outreach sent, signups activated, intros accepted, hires made. Everyone sees everyone’s.

What they're looking for

  • Hunt. LinkedIn, GitHub, Discord servers, university clubs, WhatsApp groups, alumni Slacks, in person at meetups. Wherever the good ones are hiding
  • Reach out cold and get replies. Dozens a day, not five
  • Get them signed up and their profile complete
  • Push intros to our client companies and chase them until someone books an interview
  • Ring the bell when they get hired
  • 0-4 years out of school. Sales, recruiting, startup, or nothing at all. We care what you did, not where
