Requirements
- 1+ year of experience in a recruiting agency, tech startup, hedge fund, or investment bank, with exposure to high-volume, fast-moving processes

- Tap into alumni networks, mine referrals, and build out campus programs and industry event presence as real pipelines, not afterthoughts
- Organize events, dinners, and other moments of real human connection, the kind of relationship building that AI sourcing will never replace
- Build AI-powered workflows for the repeatable parts of sourcing, screening, and pipeline tracking, so your judgment stays focused on the candidates who need it
- Screen and manage technical candidates through early-stage interviews, from resume review through handoff to the hiring team
- Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to keep interview loops moving without letting details slip
