Tech Transition Program - Associate Recruiter

Applied Intuition•Sunnyvale, CA

About The Position

We're building something a little different here. Most recruiting jobs want someone who's already been a recruiter. This one is specifically designed for people who haven't - but have done something else really well and are ready to make a move. Think: sales, ops, account management, consulting. You've spent a couple years getting good at talking to people, staying organized under pressure, and figuring out what makes something (or someone) a good fit. Now you want to bring that into a career that sits at the intersection of people and technology. That's exactly who this role is for. This program is designed to give you a real foundation in recruiting (not just "source resumes all day") so you can grow into a full-cycle recruiter who knows this industry inside and out. Part of that is learning how to actually use AI tools in your day-to-day work. Recruiting has changed, and we'll teach you how to use tools like Claude and ChatGPT to write better outreach, move faster, and spend less time on the low-value stuff - so you can focus on the parts that require a real human: the conversations, the relationships, the judgment calls. If you're curious about where recruiting is headed and want to learn it the right way from the start, that's a big part of what this program offers. If you've been looking for the right door into tech recruiting, this is it. Applications close March 31, 2026.

2 - 3 years of work experience in a role where you had to communicate clearly, move fast, and keep a lot of balls in the air
