Talent Partner

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Base is seeking a Talent Partner to assist in building their team. Initially, the role will focus on Ops & G&A hiring, with the potential to expand into recruiting for broader business, field operations, technical, and leadership roles as the company scales. This is a strategic position where the Talent Partner will work closely with founders and hiring managers, own searches from beginning to end, and significantly influence who joins the company. Prior recruiting experience is not a prerequisite; the company values judgment, drive, communication, and the ability to learn quickly. Talent Partners are considered strategic partners to the business and stewards of the company's talent bar.

Requirements

• Experience in high-performance environments such as consulting, finance, sales, startups, operations, athletics, or the military.
• A track record of running pipelines, managing relationships, influencing outcomes, and consistently hitting ambitious targets.
• Strong judgment and interpersonal instincts. You can quickly assess talent, calibrate across stakeholders, and build trust with candidates and hiring managers alike.
• Exceptional organization and follow-through. You operate with urgency and don’t let details slip.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort with selling and persuasion — specifically in a way that is direct, credible, and grounded in honesty.
• Excitement about operating in a high-intensity, high-accountability environment with ambitious goals and a fast pace.

Responsibilities

• Own searches end-to-end, with clear accountability for hiring outcomes — including pipeline conversion, time-to-hire, and long-term quality of hire.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define what great looks like for each role: the must-haves, the differentiators, and the deal-breakers.
• Design and continuously refine interview processes alongside hiring managers to maximize signal quality, interviewer calibration, candidate experience, and speed — ensuring clear evaluation criteria, structured feedback, rigorous decision-making, and continuously improving areas where the process creates noise, inconsistent signal, or unnecessary drag.
• Build top-of-funnel directly through outbound sourcing. Most of our best hires come from proactive outreach, not inbound applications.
• Run every stage of the candidate process, from first conversation through close.
• Develop strong judgment on talent and maintain a consistently high hiring bar across the company.
• Influence candidates effectively and honestly — helping exceptional people understand the opportunity while building trust throughout the process.
• Help build the talent function as we scale, including interview design, hiring rubrics, compensation philosophy, and recruiting playbooks.
