Talent Scout

Join Distyl as a Talent Scout, where you'll play a crucial role in identifying and attracting exceptional talent. You'll work closely with the founders and executive team, own the front of the funnel, and partner with the recruiting team on sourcing, process, and closing. Your success will be measured by the quality of hires you make, and you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the company's growth and success.

Identifying and pursuing exceptional talent in target markets, building a talent map, and developing a pipeline of candidates who are not actively looking for new opportunities.

Outsized Results in a Funnel You Owned: Pipeline from nothing, conversion well above peers. Bring the numbers

Requirements

• Forming an independent view of exceptional talent, backing your judgment with evidence, and tracking your accuracy to improve your scouting skills.
• Owning the outcome of the scouting process, being measured on the quality of hires, and demonstrating a clear record of your scouting convictions and the evidence behind them.
• Judgment: You recognize exceptional people others overlook. You've been right when others weren't, and can explain both your best calls and your mistakes
• Demonstrated Excellence Before This: Academic, commercial, entrepreneurial, competitive, or otherwise
• Recruiting experience is optional. Exceptional talent judgment is not. You need a track record of deal-making and running a funnel with outsized success: a super-connector, a headhunter, a sports scout , a founder who hired the first twenty, or a background we have not thought of
• Persistent Without Ego: You find a sixth way through a closed door, know when to change your mind, and earn the respect of people you don't land
