A stealth startup is a startup company that operates in stealth mode, i.e. that avoids public attention. This may be done to hide information from competitors, or — as part of a marketing strategy — to manage public image. The phenomenon is well known in the venture capital (VC) community. Normally a company would only operate in stealth mode for the first couple of years. As investors may have to disclose funding a stealth startup, their names are made public, but often only a general summary description is known about the company. "Most entrepreneurs say they are in stealth because they are worried about competitors stealing their ideas. This can be a risk if you have such a simple idea that just by hearing it, someone can replicate it."

Job description

We are one of the leading tech investment firms globally, with a track record of investing in some of the most valuable companies in the world.

A company we are supporting is looking to hire a Senior Technical Recruiter with experience hiring engineers, though you will own recruiting across all disciplines. You will work full desk, and will need experience sourcing, screening, and closing candidates. Prior experience in a startup is required.

While being good at what you do are table stakes, we believe the following will make you successful in a startup:

Optimistic individuals are persistent, determined, and unwilling to give up in the face of adversity. They keep working towards a goal or objective despite setbacks or failures. Optimism often involves a combination of perseverance, resilience, and determination.
Growth-oriented individuals embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see effort as a key to success. They are willing to take risks and push themselves outside of their comfort zones. Growth-oriented individuals are curious, see learning as a lifelong process, and embrace feedback. They are willing to try new things, and are not afraid to change direction if something isn’t working.
Effective individuals collaborate well, work consistently and purposefully towards achieving their goals, efficiently manage their time, and are self-motivated. They are able to identify problems, analyze them critically, and develop effective solutions.

At this time, we are looking for candidates with 5+ years of experience. As these are startup companies, they are unable to sponsor visas of any kind.
