Founder Talent Acquisition Hexa

Who we are

Hexa is a venture studio. Since 2011, we’ve built more than 60 companies, including 3 unicorns. Every year, our startup studio, Hexa Start, creates 12 companies from scratch, and our accelerator, Hexa Sprint, funds several dozen more. Each Start company begins with a CEO and a CTO we recruit ourselves: finding them is our core business.

That’s where you come in. 👀

The role

Our partners bring the ideas. What turns an idea into a real company is the people who build it, so finding the right founders is Hexa’s core business. That’s your job: convincing aspiring founders to join us, walking them through a life-changing decision, and putting them in front of the right partner at the right time.

Our marketing team builds and nurtures the reservoir of future founders. You turn it into a pipeline for each open role (say, a CTO for a cybersecurity project with experience in LLM-built attacks), run the search with the partner leading the project, assess, and close. Laure, your peer, does the same for each company’s first employees.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll need the business sense to read an idea and know what kind of founder it calls for, and a sharp eye for entrepreneurial profiles: you can tell a true entrepreneur from a strong manager, even when both look great on paper.

What you’ll actually do

• Source, hands-on: inbound comes first, but you roll up your sleeves and reach out to everyone who looks on track to start something, before anyone else does,

• Build a pipeline for every open founder role within two weeks, from your own sourcing, the marketing reservoir and our scoring agents,

• Own the founder scorecard with the partners and fine-tune it every quarter against real hiring outcomes,

• Interview, assess and close demanding, sometimes hesitant candidates, alongside partners and our CTO,

• Tell marketing and community what each search is missing, down to the event it needs,

• Act as product owner of our recruiting stack (Ashby, sourcing tools, AI agents), and call in agencies when a search runs short.
