About Dragonfly Operating Partners

Dragonfly Operating Partners is a group of experienced executives dedicated to assisting promising startups in growth, scaling, and execution. In partnership with founders, CEOs, and investors, we focus on strategy, go-to-market, operations, and talent acquisition, and we are pioneering a disciplined, AI-driven method to find top-tier operators for our clients and portfolio companies. Joining us means leading this innovative approach.

Role Overview

We seek a Talent Manager with 3 to 5 years of experience in agency or executive search environments. This position is a hands-on, end-to-end search role, requiring independent management of searches and direct representation of Dragonfly to CEOs. It is not suited for recruiting leaders, generic internal HR roles, or high-volume recruitment desks.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct full-cycle recruitment including intake, role definition, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, reference checks, offer management, and closure.
Collaborate closely with founders and CEOs to refine candidate profiles and provide clear, honest updates on search progress.
Develop customized candidate pipelines through proactive outreach, referrals, and rigorous market research rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
Evaluate candidates’ skills, motivation, executive presence, and cultural fit within startup environments.
Utilize AI tools extensively throughout the search process – from screening resumes to preparing for interviews and summarizing evidence – while applying critical human judgment to all recommendations. Familiarity with Boardy.ai or similar platforms is essential.
Ensure an outstanding candidate experience, maintain accurate search documentation, follow-ups, and reporting without need for supervision.

Success Metrics

Prioritize quality over quantity in all searches. Maintain a sense of urgency and organization, proactive communication, and ensure commitments and communications are consistently fulfilled.

Qualifications

3 to 5 years of structured recruiting or executive search experience within agencies or search firms.
Practical, client-facing involvement managing end-to-end placements, handling both client and candidate interactions through to successful closures.
Bachelor’s degree.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage CEOs and senior leaders as peers.
Strong aptitude and genuine enthusiasm for integrating AI in recruitment processes, along with the acumen to critically evaluate AI outputs.
Highly self-motivated, able to work independently in a fully remote, US-based setting.

Preferred Attributes

Self-driven with strong ownership mentality – independently manage tasks without need for direction.
Executive presence—comfortable and credible when interacting with founders, CEOs, and investors.
Combination of maturity and high energy — bringing sound judgment coupled with momentum and speed.
Personable approach that fosters positive relationships with clients and candidates.
Success-oriented mindset focused on completing high-quality placements and contributing to growth.
AI-native work style — leveraging AI for efficiency and quality improvements, not merely as a mandate.

Screening Process

The hiring process involves the use of AI-assisted tools to evaluate candidates, including AI graded assessments and interviews alongside human decision-making. Candidates uncomfortable with AI-based evaluation or using AI tools in recruitment may find this role unsuitable.
