Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

COVU is the leading AI-native infrastructure company for insurance and risk management . We're transforming how agencies, carriers, and partners manage risk—starting with customer management and distribution and expanding into a full risk marketplace.

With $32M+ raised and a fast-growing portfolio of agency acquisitions and platform expansion, we're building the future of intelligent insurance— not just AI, not just humans, but both working together

Why This Role Matters :

We are scaling rapidly—acquiring agencies, launching new services, and growing our product and AI teams. To match that pace, we need a hands-on Talent and Recruiting Lead who can build and run a lean, high-performance hiring engine.

You'll work directly with the CEO (Ali Safavi) and functional leaders to drive end-to-end recruiting : from role design and scorecarding to sourcing, screening, and closing. This role is a force-multiplier for our executive and operational focus.

What You'll Do :

  • Recruiting Ops

Build sourcing pipelines for technical, GTM, and insurance roles.

  • Candidate Experience
  • Own communication, screening, and scheduling workflows.

  • Interview Design
  • Develop scorecards, WHO-method assessments, and close plans.

  • Tools & Systems
  • Set up or manage ATS (Ashby / Lever / Greenhouse), LinkedIn Recruiter, and Notion workflows.

  • Executive Search Support
  • Partner with external firms when needed for exec roles.

  • Reporting
  • Track metrics like time-to-fill, pipeline quality, and source effectiveness.

    What You Bring :

  • 4+ years experience in startup or early-stage recruiting —either in-house or agency
  • Comfortable owning end-to-end recruiting across functions (esp. GTM, product, ops)
  • Strong grasp of structured hiring (WHO method, scorecards, behavioral interviews)
  • Experience with ATS tools (Ashby, Lever, or similar)
  • Based in or able to spend time in LA regularly (hybrid preferred)
  • Highly organized, entrepreneurial , and aligned with COVU's builder mindset
  • Path to Full-Time :

    If performance is strong and hiring needs scale, this role has a clear path to full-time with :

  • Equity compensation
  • People & Talent leadership opportunities as we grow
  • Bonus if you have :

  • Insurtech, fintech, or B2B SaaS hiring experience
  • Knowledge of compensation, equity, and hiring compliance
  • Deep recruiting networks in GTM or product talent pools
  • Passion for culture-building and storytelling
