Function Talent is an Oakland based talent acquisition firm helping early stage stage startups in the SF Bay Area. With a high touch approach focusing on repeatable process and quality candidate acquisition, Function Talent will provide the foundation for sustained growth at any scale. The art of relationship based talent acquisition has been lost to high volume, transactional recruiting. The current recruiting strategy is to message (aka "spam") as many people as possible and hope that generally accepted conversion percentages hold true. This approach alienates the best candidates, creates internal interview fatigue and leaves you hiring who you can, not who you want. This is not how strong teams are formed. Who do you want to hire? Let's attract them together.
