"We engaged TSE to recruit an NA Business Manager. This role was a vital senior appointment, and one we simply could not afford to make a mistake with. We had very specific niche requirements and within little more than a week, TSE had identified some 150 potential candidates, before presenting me with a stand out who had the exact skillset and industry experience we were searching for. We were able to appoint this candidate within two weeks of commencing our search. I highly recommend the TSE team highly and look forward to working with them again in the future"

We recruit across GTM, technical, and design functions, including sales, marketing, software engineering, AI, data, customer success, product management, UX and leadership roles.

Do I need startup experience to apply?

Not necessarily. Many startups hire candidates from larger organizations who can demonstrate ownership, adaptability, problem-solving and the ability to thrive in fast-paced environments.

We recruit for remote, hybrid and office-based startup roles across the United States. Working arrangements vary depending on the company and position.

People Also Ask

Where is the best place to find startup jobs?

The best place to find startup jobs is through specialist startup recruiters, founder networks and venture-backed companies. Many early-stage startups fill roles through referrals and recruitment partners before advertising them publicly, making it worthwhile to register with agencies that specialize in startup hiring. Read our article on How to Find Startup Jobs for more guidance.

Are startup jobs good for career growth?

Startup jobs can provide accelerated career growth by offering greater ownership, broader responsibilities and direct exposure to founders and leadership teams. Employees often have the opportunity to influence products, processes and company strategy much earlier than they would in larger organizations.

What do startups look for when hiring?

Startups typically look for candidates who are adaptable, proactive and comfortable working in fast-changing environments. Along with technical or functional expertise, founders value people who take ownership, solve problems independently and can make an immediate impact on the business.

Do startups hire people without startup experience?

Yes. Many startups hire candidates from larger organizations or different industries if they demonstrate curiosity, adaptability and a strong track record of delivering results. Relevant skills, commercial awareness and a willingness to work in a fast-paced environment are often more important than previous startup experience.
