Freelance Startup Recruiter

Funded.club partners with venture-backed startups across the globe. Our customers range from pre-seed disruptors to Series C scale-ups building category-defining products.

We operate differently than traditional agencies.
No time tracking. No micromanagement. No noise.

We care about outcomes.

We work with experienced, self-directed freelance recruiters who thrive in early-stage environments and know how to close high-impact talent in fast-moving markets.

If you’ve successfully partnered with founders, built pipelines from scratch, and filled critical technical and commercial roles for VC-backed startups — we want to talk.

• You manage a range of 3 - 9 startup searches in parallel.
• You own sourcing, outreach, screening, and candidate management.
• You provide structured weekly updates and drive momentum.
• You operate independently, but within a proven, plug-and-play process.
• You work remotely, in your time zone.
• You enjoy a full recruiting tech stack including ATS, AI sourcing tools… 
• You enjoy a collaborative, agile environment. 

This is not a passive “send resumes” environment.
This is high-trust, high-accountability recruiting.
