Job description
Position Title: Part-Time / Product Design Contract Sourcer / Market Researcher
Company: Nova Talent
Location: Remote
Type: Part-Time
About Nova Talent: We’re a team of early SaaS, FAANG, and Riviera Search operators who saw an opportunity to elevate external recruiting. As former operators and executives, we spent countless hours (and dollars) on firms—only to strike out. We wanted a firm like Nova Talent. After years of searching, we built it ourselves — and today we’re a growing boutique firm serving about ~20 Silicon Valley startups.
Role Overview:
As our Part-Time Product Design Sourcer & Market Researcher, you’ll dive deep into the world of early-stage SaaS startups — uncovering hidden design talent and surfacing exceptional portfolios that others overlook. You’ll go beyond LinkedIn, exploring creative communities like Dribbble, Behance, Figma Community, and personal portfolio sites, reviewing work for craft, systems thinking, and storytelling.
Here is how it works:
- We work with a variety of SaaS startups and receive job orders
- We share the notes with our sourcers after talking with the hiring teams
- Sourcers and Recruiters will calibrate, then research profiles and add folks to a project
- Our Recruiting team takes it forward from there to do phone calls with the folks that you source
- Many of our sourcers do this alongside a full-time job as the work can be done part time and remotely, we care more about outcomes than actual hours
How to Apply:
Ready to be part of something amazing? If you have the skills and passion to help us find the talent that will shape the future of SaaS, we want to hear from you. Send your resume and answer the pre screening questions and we’d be happy to review.
We look forward to hearing from you!
