About The Position

Notion is seeking an Early Career Recruiter to reimagine early career hiring. This role is for a builder who is energized by finding and cultivating emerging talent, crafting new programs and experiences, and obsessing over employer brand, candidate experience, and assessment design in an AI era. The individual will own Notion's early career strategy end-to-end, from community outreach to talent development and conversion of interns and new grads. They will collaborate with Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, and People teams. This role can be based in San Francisco or New York City, with a hybrid work model requiring in-office presence on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Requirements

2+ years of recruiter experience, with meaningful exposure to early career, university, or program-based hiring.
A builder mentality — energized by creating something new, not managing something established.
Genuine curiosity about how to find and evaluate emerging talent; always experimenting with new sourcing channels, assessment formats, and candidate engagement strategies.
Strong instincts for employer brand and candidate experience — thinking about how every touchpoint shapes perception and builds trust.
The ability to move between strategy and execution; can design a program and then run it.
Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills with candidates, hiring teams, and cross-functional partners.
Comfort with data — using it to make decisions, spot patterns, and make the case for what's working.

Responsibilities

Design and run recruiting programs (internships, new grad pipelines, 0-2 years from school pipelines) that are durable, scalable, and distinctly Notion.

Build assessments that reveal how early career candidates think, learn, and create.
