Support executive search by turning client briefs into target company lists, building and evaluating candidate pipelines across functions, learning to identify high-potential candidates, and working directly with partners and recruiters on live searches.
Analyst — Sterling Strand
New grads and early-career candidates welcome — no prior recruiting or sourcing experience required
Sterling Strand is an executive search firm built on the belief that hiring should be a science, not an art. We map markets, evaluate talent with real rigor, and help our clients make leadership bets that change their companies. The Analyst is the engine behind all of it.
What you'll do
- Turn ambiguous client briefs into precise, company-by-company target lists
- Build and evaluate candidate pipelines across Product & Engineering, GTM, and G&A
- Learn to spot what "great" looks like on paper — trajectory, scope, the signals most people miss
- Work directly with Partners and Executive Recruiters on live searches from day one
What we're looking for
- Horsepower — genuinely smart, fast learner, good at structuring messy problems
- Grit — stays sharp through long, unglamorous stretches of work
- Taste — holds a high bar and can explain why something is excellent, not just good
- Rigor — comfortable with high volume and near-zero tolerance for your own errors
- Polish — writes clearly and carries yourself well in front of clients
What you don't need
- Prior recruiting, sourcing, or executive search experience — we'll train you
- A specific major or industry background
- Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, an ATS, or any specific tool
