Talent Scout

About the role

We are looking for a Talent Scout to help us find and engage the people who will define Epoch's next phase of growth. Over the coming six months we expect to hire across research (data centers, benchmarking, polling, and supply chains), engineering, communications, and operations. You'll work closely with our people operations team, hiring managers, and researchers as our first dedicated sourcer to build our talent pipelines from scratch. Your job is to help find great researchers early. That means mapping talent landscapes, running outreach campaigns, showing up at the right events, and building the kind of relationships that make someone take your call six months from now. You'll work closely with hiring managers to translate fuzzy role needs into real candidate profiles, and help keep our hiring pipeline streamlined so that nothing slips through the cracks. We are a primarily remote organization, but for this role we're looking for candidates based in the Bay Area, and we would be especially excited about candidates who are open to working a hybrid or in-office schedule from our well-equipped office space in Berkeley. We invite anyone who is interested to apply, regardless of background, experience, or credentials. Please do not include a cover letter, photograph, or headshot of yourself, or any personal information that is not relevant to the role for which you're applying (including marital status, age, identity traits, etc.). Application Deadline: July 17, EOD Pacific Time. Additional Information We strongly prefer candidates for this role who are based in the Bay Area. Most of our staff work between UTC-8 (Pacific Time) and UTC (Greenwich Mean Time). We also prefer candidates who can travel: we hold three retreats per year, during which we record podcast episodes and other communication efforts. Please submit all of your application materials in English and note that we require professional level English proficiency. Epoch is committed to building an inclusive, equitable, and supportive community for you to thrive and do your best work. We're committed to finding the best people for our team, so please don't hesitate to apply for a role regardless of your age, gender identity/expression, political identity, personal preferences, physical abilities, veteran status, neurodiversity or any other background. Please emailcareers@epoch.ai if you have any questions about this role, accessibility requests, or if you want to request an extension to the application deadline. However, we will not review applications submitted to this email address; please submit your application through the link on this page.
