About the role
- In today's knife-fight market, talent density requires the same level of strategic focus and creativity as product development and go-to-market.
- This is a high-impact tour of duty for an exceptional generalist, product builder, or strategist who wants to work on one of the most consequential problems inside a rapidly growing company.
- This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility.
Responsibilities
- We already support patients across more than 80% of ZIP codes and partner with 5 of the 10 largest biopharma companies in the world.
- We raised $160M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity.
- You will help us develop recruiting as a go-to-market function: understanding the people and talent markets we most need to reach, developing a differentiated strategy for reaching them, and creating process that enables Forus to win them.
- Develop an original point of view on what exceptional performance looks like across critical functions, rather than relying primarily on credentials, titles, or conventional candidate profiles
- Build deep maps of important talent markets, companies, communities, and individual candidates, including people who are not actively looking for a new role
- Design creative strategies to identify and engage exceptional people through targeted communities, events, referrals, research, content, competitions, partnerships, and other channels
- Develop new approaches to evaluating talent where conventional interviews or credentials provide weak signal
- Build repeatable strategic playbooks that allow the broader recruiting team to apply what you learn across additional roles and talent markets
- High agency and creativity - when the obvious channels do not produce the right people, you create different channels
- A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
Requirements
- Prior recruiting experience is not required.
- Exceptional judgment about people and evidence that you have identified, recruited, backed, hired, or chosen unusually strong people before others recognized them
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to understand what motivates a specific person and communicate why Forus may be the right place for them
Compensation
- We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees).
Benefits
- Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.
- Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.
- 401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.
Company info
