The firm leads minority capital raises, typically at Series A and B, investing $15-70M in founder-owned, capital-efficient B2B technology companies with $5M+ in revenue. Because Volition invests minority capital, founders retain majority ownership and control - the firm's role is to be a genuinely useful partner, not a typical control investor. About half of the portfolio is bootstrapped founders, which means the team spends significant time earning trust well before any capital event ever happens.\nROLE OVERVIEW\nVolition's talent function runs executive searches across roughly 40 portfolio companies. This role exists to give that function the sourcing and early-screening capacity it needs to keep pace - someone who can take a search from an open role to a qualified slate of candidates ready for a senior-level conversation.\nThe person in this seat is accountable for the front half of the search process: building candidate lists, conducting outreach, running initial screens, and keeping the pipeline organized and current so that senior interviewers only see candidates worth their time.\nThis is a junior seat with real responsibility attached - candidates will experience Volition's talent brand through this person first, often before anyone more senior gets involved. It reports directly to Chris Fahey, and works in close, day-to-day partnership with the Senior Manager, Talent on live searches.\nThe right person is organized, dependable, and genuinely curious about how a structured executive search comes together - someone looking to build real search skill inside a small, high-trust team rather than run a high volume of low-stakes reqs.\nABOUT THE ROLE\nCandidate Sourcing & Pipeline\nSource candidates for open portfolio company searches through LinkedIn, targeted outreach, and referral networks.\nBuild and maintain candidate longlists calibrated to each search's scorecard.\nConduct initial outreach that represents Volition's talent brand accurately and professionally.\nEarly-Stage Screening\nRun initial phone or video screens to assess baseline fit before candidates advance to senior-level interviews.\nKeep the applicant tracking system accurate and current for every active search.\nCoordinate scheduling for later-stage interviews across candidates, portfolio company interviewers, and Volition leadership.\nSearch Support\nSupport the Senior Manager, Talent with market research, compensation benchmarking, and JD drafting on active searches.\nTake notes and track themes across candidate conversations to inform later-stage interview questions.\nFlag risks or gaps in a pipeline early, rather than waiting for a search to stall.\nProcess & Coordination\nMaintain clean, current pipeline data across every search in flight.\nCommunicate with candidates promptly and professionally at every stage, including when the answer is no.\nPace, Metrics & Communication\nBrings real pace and intensity to the work - Volition moves fast, and this role needs someone who matches that energy every day.\nContributes directly to team metrics: searches completed per quarter, hitting new-hire targets without compromising quality, and strong retention outcomes.\nProactively communicates pipeline status and candidate updates to stakeholders - portfolio company contacts and internal Volition staff - before anyone has to ask.\nABOUT YOU\n2+ years of recruiting experience, agency or in-house.\nManages high-volume outreach and follow-up without dropping details.\nDetail-oriented - pipeline hygiene and scheduling accuracy are non-negotiable, not afterthoughts.\nComfortable in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment; treats pipeline throughput and candidate quality as personal accountability.\nProactively flags status and pipeline health to stakeholders without being asked.\nClear, professional communicator - with candidates and senior stakeholders alike.\nEager to learn a structured, senior-level hiring methodology and grow into more responsibility.\nWHY JOIN VOLITION CAPITAL\nA ground-floor seat learning executive search inside a structured, disciplined program - not a high-volume agency mill.\nDirect mentorship from Volition's talent leadership on live, senior-level searches.\nA clear growth path toward more senior recruiting responsibility as the function scales.\nExposure to a growth-stage investment firm and its portfolio of roughly 40 companies.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4602,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Venture Capital","Angel Networks & Startup Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-21T19:10:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.593,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/volition-capital-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/volition-capital-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T05:14:51Z","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":7216,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":689544},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689544"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvolition-capital-recruiter"},{"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%2Fvolition-capital-recruiter"},{"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%2Fvolition-capital-recruiter"},{"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/volition-capital-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvolition-capital-recruiter"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1097114}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"volitioncapital.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1097114},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
