Technical Recruiter - 2026 New Graduate
About The Position
Radiant is seeking a driven entry-level recruiter to join our talent team and help build the engineering teams behind Kaleidos, our portable, mass-producible nuclear microreactor targeting commercial deployment in 2028. This is a role for someone who wants to start a career in recruitment, work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with real ownership and influence, build a deep tech career, and learn about several technical domains like nuclear, hardware, electrical, software, and more. You'll get close mentorship from recruiters and sourcers who've built teams before, regular visibility with executives, own requisitions, and find top talent for engineering leaders and their teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university.
- 0–2 years of experience in recruiting, sales, sourcing, or coordination, or you've picked it up on your own and can point to something that proves it.
- Something outside the classroom that shows real team influence, a club you led, student government, a project you built, a sport you competed in, or work you volunteered for.
- A genuine pull toward hardware, nuclear, physics, or AI/ML; you don't need an engineering background, just real curiosity.
- A bias toward action: you move quickly, problem-solve on the fly, and know when to raise your hand for help.
- You're able to hold a genuine conversation with technical candidates, curious enough to ask good questions, and honest enough to admit when something's outside your depth.
Nice To Haves
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM-related major is a plus.
- Any prior exposure to hardware, software, engineering, or tech recruiting, even informally.
- Comfort picking up new tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, sourcing, LLM platforms, even without direct prior experience.
Responsibilities
- Run your own reqs from open to close, building the pipeline, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and getting offers signed.
- Find niche talent markets for specialized engineering roles in places like GitHub repos, arXiv papers, technical mailing lists, tech foundation communities, conference speaker rosters, and academic programs.
- Create talent market reports based on research you drive to help make better-informed recruiting strategies.
- Coordinate interviews and help facilitate hiring team debriefs to keep decisions moving quickly.
- Sit in on offer conversations with senior recruiters and learn how strategy and closing work in practice.
- Help shape how Radiant recruits; the processes, tools, and 3rd party platforms you help build and adopt now become the foundation the team scales on.
- Get hands-on exposure to hiring across multiple technical functions: electrical, mechanical, software, and more.
