As hiring needs ebb and flow, you’ll also take ownership of the People programs and systems that support the broader team.\nThis is a great fit for someone who loves recruiting but also wants to broaden into People Ops and learn how to build a People function at a startup.\nSpecifically, you will:\nOwn full-cycle recruiting across all functions.\n\nPartner with hiring managers to define roles, ideal candidate profiles, and interview processes.\n\nBuild sourcing strategies with our in-house sourcer and develop pipelines for recurring roles.\n\nConduct initial interviews, manage the candidate experience, and drive searches from first conversation through offer and close.\n\nBuild and improve the recruiting systems, workflows, and metrics we need as the company grows.\n\nOwn key People programs, including onboarding, performance reviews, employee experience, offsites, and internal HR policies.\n\nOver time, help build programs like co-ops/internships, new grad recruiting, employee referrals, and other long-term talent pipelines.\n\nAbout you\nYou have 3-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a fast-growing startup or similarly high-ownership environment.\n\nYou’ve recruited across multiple functions and are comfortable moving between engineering, design, GTM, and other business roles.\n\nYou’re excited by the opportunity to help build a People function from an early stage and grow your scope over time.\n\nYou have strong judgment about people and can quickly learn what “great” looks like in an unfamiliar function.\n\nYou’re a strong communicator who can represent Pogo well to candidates and partner effectively with hiring managers.\n\nYou’re highly organized and comfortable building systems where none exist.\n\nBonus: You’ve been an early Talent hire at a startup before and have built recruiting or People systems and processes from scratch. You enjoy building systems with AI.\nWhy you might be excited about this opportunity\nBuild the People function from the ground up. As our first in-house People hire, you’ll help define how Pogo hires, onboards, develops, and supports people as we scale.\n\nRecruit across the entire company. You’ll work on everything from engineering and design to sales, marketing, and operations, giving you exposure to how every part of a fast-growing startup gets built.\n\nGrow beyond recruiting. Recruiting will be a core part of the role, but not the ceiling. You’ll build experience across onboarding, performance reviews, People systems, and employee experience - with a path toward broader People leadership as Pogo grows.\n\nWork directly with the people building the company. You’ll partner closely with founders and functional leaders on some of Pogo’s most important hiring and People decisions, rather than operating several layers removed from the business.\n\nWhy you might not be excited about us\nPriorities may shift quickly. Hiring needs can change fast, and the People programs that matter most will evolve as the company grows. You should be comfortable balancing immediate recruiting needs with longer-term work across onboarding, performance, policies, and employee experience.\n\nThis is an individual contributor role. You’ll be expected to be hands-on - running first calls, driving searches, partnering with hiring managers, and building People programs yourself. If you’re looking for a role where you primarily design systems or manage a recruiting/People team to execute the work, this probably won’t be the right fit.\n\nWe expect more than 9 to 5. Raw hours make an impact at our current stage. That said, we trust each team member to create a flexible schedule that allows them to be most productive while accommodating priorities outside of work. We also strongly encourage time off: in addition to unlimited PTO, we have a minimum 20-day vacation policy","description_format":"text","description_chars":4100,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Coupons, Deals & Cashbacks","Personal Finance Apps & Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-10T14:08:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":80,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.846,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":5,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":175000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pogo-talent-partner-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pogo-talent-partner-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T10:13:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15586,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7199},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7199"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpogo-talent-partner-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpogo-talent-partner-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpogo-talent-partner-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pogo-talent-partner-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpogo-talent-partner-2"}]}
