TALENT
Where VCs find their next gig 🔎

If you’re hiring a new investor, you essentially have three options:

1. Do it yourself: You share on LinkedIn, Twitter, and any other platform you can use. You get FLOODED with unqualified inbound requests, creating more work and lower-quality candidates.

2. Go the standard recruiter route: You realize you have other things to do, so you rely on somebody else to find the right people for you. After a few months, you realize that 99% of venture recruiters don’t have good venture talent, and they are just feeding you candidates who want out of their current banking roles … not great.

3. Join our talent collective to get access to 200+ investors with venture experience who are actively looking for new roles: You want people who can come in and add value from day one. All candidates in the talent collective have venture investing experience, and they come with their own training, deal flow sources, and investor networks. Filter who you’re looking for and choose who you meet with.

P.S. If you’re hiring for a venture role, you should meet with our new talent partner, Raegan. She’ll help you find, meet, and offer the cream of the crop from the Confluence community of investors. Let her know what you’re hiring for, and she’ll follow up with next steps.

P.S. We’re running our fourth annual VC comp survey.

If you work full-time in venture, growth equity, or private equity, this is a chance to let us know how you’re compensated, and we’ll let you know if you’re over / underpaid.
