Recruit Rockstars 298: How This Early-Stage VC Spots Talent


Based in Menlo Park, Unusual Ventures invests in Seed & Series A startups. Their focus in enterprise & consumer tech.
Unusual has an ‘unusual’ secret weapon.
His name is Jon Volk, and he’s Director of Talent at Unusual. He spots talent for the fund & their portfolio companies.
He’s uniquely qualified, as a former recruiter at Google, Amazon, and AppDynamics.
Venture Capital is all about pattern recognition, even when it comes to hiring. Fortunately, I persuaded Jon to invest 20 minutes sharing his best practices & lessons learned.
