About Pearl Talent

At Pearl, we know that although opportunities aren’t created equal in the world, ambitious talent is. And it’s our mission to give hires from around the world who are sharp and hungry the opportunity to earn far more than they would in their home countries while learning from founders and Entrepreneurs who have raised and made tens of millions to billions.

Our clients are fast-growing startups and phenomenal US based businesses that have raised over $3B in funding from Sequioa, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other top VC firms.

I’m a 3x founder and most recently was investing into deep tech companies as COO of a fund in SF: https://www.linkedin.com/in/montyngan/. I grew up in the Philippines myself—which is why I care so much about giving international talent opportunities to work at the best companies in the world) and most recently was investing.

My cofounder is a 3x founder as well. Pearl was born out of a 3 year project solving our own hiring needs for our last businesses. This has given us a unique and differentiated view into how to hire and retain the best talent and then build a business model that fits around the north star goal of hiring. Our competitors build a business product maximizing profit and not client and talent success. For this reason, we’re winning big.

This is a completely WFH opportunity, where you’ll be responsible for the success, retention, and growth of the incredible remote talent we place into startups. You’ll play a critical role in making sure every talent has the tools, support, and structure to thrive.
