What are the responsibilities and job description for the Recruiter (Path to Head of Talent) position at talentpluto?
Location: Remote (United States)
Work Model: Remote
Industry: Consumer crypto-trading
Compensation: $100K-$170K base, plus equity
About The Company
Our partner is a fast-moving consumer crypto-trading startup building a next-generation platform for retail traders. Backed by top-tier investors and growing quickly, their team is small, technical, and ambitious, with several roles opening across the business. This is a chance to step in early and own a function that directly shapes how the company scales.
The Opportunity
Our partner is bringing talent in-house for the first time and wants someone who will own recruiting end to end and grow into a Head of Talent within the next one to two years. You will be the connective tissue across all open roles, coordinating with external recruiting partners, sourcing and identifying strong candidates, and building a more systematic, repeatable approach to hiring.
This role is for someone who is genuinely excited to specialize in talent and own it long-term, not a generalist looking to rotate into other functions. The founders move fast, can close strong candidates in days, and want a partner who matches that energy. Compensation and equity will grow with the role as you prove yourself.
