    (Not Your Average HR Position)

     

    MISSION STATEMENT

     

    We're not just building a company; we're disrupting a $50B industry dominated by financial giants. As our Talent Acquisition Strategist, you'll be the architect of our most powerful asset: our talent density. You won't be processing paperwork or planning office parties. You'll be assembling and maintaining the elite force of A-players that will revolutionize an industry.

     

    CRITICAL OBJECTIVE

     

    Create and maintain the highest possible concentration of exceptional talent by strategically recruiting, developing, and retaining only unorthodox athletes who embody our intense performance culture. Your success will be measured by the caliber of people who join and stay, not by HR processes implemented.

     

    THE UNORTHODOX ATHLETE WE NEED

     

    You're not a traditional HR professional. You're a talent scout with the mindset of an elite sports recruiter. You believe conventional hiring wisdom is fundamentally broken. You understand that A-players hire A-players, while B-players hire C-players. You have an uncanny ability to spot extraordinary potential where others see only unconventional backgrounds.

     

    You thrive in dynamic environments, make decisions with incomplete information, and believe that talent density is the ultimate competitive advantage. You're comfortable delivering uncomfortable truths and making tough calls that others wouldn't have the courage to make.

     

    WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH

     

    • Design and execute unconventional talent acquisition strategies that attract A-players while repelling those seeking 9-to-5 comfort

     

    • Implement our "Keeper Test" across the organization, ensuring we fight to keep only those who truly elevate our performance

     

    • Create development pathways that challenge exceptional people to become even better

     

    • Build compensation structures that reward extraordinary performance and drive

     

    • Establish a culture of radical accountability and continuous feedback

     

    • Eliminate bureaucracy and processes that slow us down or dilute our talent density
     

     

    THE ANTI-RESUME

     

    What we don't care about:

     

    • Years of HR experience or certifications

     

    • Whether you followed a traditional career path

     

    • If you've worked at prestigious companies

     

    • Your knowledge of conventional HR best practices
     

     

    What we actually value:

     

    • Your track record of identifying and recruiting exceptional talent

     

    • Evidence that you've made tough people decisions that others avoided

     

    • Your ability to think contrarian about talent and culture

     

    • How you've created environments where A-players thrive

     

    • Your own entrepreneurial drive and determination
     

     

    OUR STANDARD

     

    You understand this isn't a 9-to-5 role. You move with urgency that makes competitors take notice. You find solutions while others are still defining the problem. You believe in context, not control. You're comfortable with ambiguity and see it as an opportunity. You prioritize ruthlessly, focusing only on what truly matters.


     

    THE KEEPER TEST

     

    We would fight to keep you if:

     

    • You consistently identify and attract talent that others can't access

     

    • You've created a talent acquisition system that outperforms our competitors

     

    • You've built a culture where exceptional people push each other to new heights

     

    • You've demonstrated the courage to make tough calls that preserve our talent density

     

    • Your contrarian thinking has given us an edge in the talent market

     

     

    IMPORTANT NOTE

     

    This is not a role for those seeking traditional HR career progression. We're building a revolutionary company, and we expect extraordinary commitment. If you're looking for a 9-5, this position isn't for you. If you're still interested, prepare to join a team of A-players who are changing the rules of the game.
