Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Hiring is one of the first problems every newly funded company hits, and investors are the people founders ask for help.
  • You'll work directly with our founders to turn relationships into programs, programs into deals, and deals into lasting revenue across hundreds of portfolio companies.
  • WHY THIS ROLE IS REMARKABLE - Founding-level impact: You're the first partnerships hire.

Responsibilities

  • Originate and close: Find the right firms, get to the platform, talent and operating partners who shape portfolio hiring, and take deals from first conversation to signed agreement quickly.
  • Drive portfolio activation: Turn signed partnerships into live hiring on Paraform through co-branded programming, talent office hours, portfolio events, newsletters and warm intros. Own conversion from partner firm to active customer.
  • Own the relationship system: Build and maintain Paraform's firm-level CRM and relationship tracking so the team knows which firms are warm, who owns each relationship, and which portfolio companies are hiring.
  • Partner cross-functionally: Work with Sales, Supply and Marketing to route partner-sourced opportunities, build co-marketing assets, and feed ecosystem insights back into the product and go-to-market strategy.
  • Report on channel performance: Define and track pipeline, activation, and revenue from partner firms, and use that data to decide where to invest next.
  • An existing network across venture platform teams, talent partners, accelerator program leads and/or PE operating partners. You already know the people who decide what gets recommended to portfolio companies.
  • Understanding of how investors support their portfolios and what makes a firm put its name behind a vendor.
  • That's why we treat recruiters like entrepreneurs, not vendors, and build the financial, operational, and technical infrastructure that powers their success.
  • As Paraform's first Partnerships Lead, you'll turn relationships with venture firms, accelerators and private equity sponsors into a steady flow of portfolio companies hiring through Paraform.
  • Partner with PE operating teams and talent partners on portfolio-wide hiring after acquisitions, including executive and scale-up hiring.

Requirements

  • You can connect a partnership to pipeline and revenue, not just brand awareness.

Nice to have

  • Experience in recruiting, talent marketplaces or HR tech.
  • Experience in portfolio ops or talent at a VC firm

Compensation

  • $180,000-$230,000 OTE + equity + benefits

Benefits

  • Build and formalize the VC partnerships program: Design a preferred-partner program for portfolio companies at top-tier firms, covering tiers, terms, perks and success metrics.
  • Open accelerator and PE channels: Win placement in accelerator perks stacks and cohort programming.
