You’re independent, resourceful, and relentless in sourcing and closing top talent.
You thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments and are not afraid to challenge the norm.
You understand and care deeply about the candidate experience, especially in a cross-border context.
You have high emotional intelligence, strong judgment, and know how to assess more than just hard skills.
You’re Korean market-savvy, startup-aligned, and outcome-driven—willing to go the extra mile to get hires across the line.

Love to build and optimize - whether that’s processes, pipelines, or playbooks.
Take full ownership from first outreach to offer stage.
Move fast, but thoughtfully, always balancing quality and urgency.
