Description
WARNING: This is not your typical recruiting job.
Crossover is hiring a college recruiter to find and convert the next 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns: elite undergrads from MIT and Stanford, ready to spend their summer building with generative AI. Your job? Fill that class. Fast.
You’ll run the entire cycle: from relationship-building and event logistics to high-volume outreach and candidate conversion. You’ll need to move like a startup operator, think like a talent scout, and execute like a sales leader. This is not about prestige dinners or swag tables. It’s about results: 50 students, summer 2026, Austin, TX. You’ll have full runway — autonomy, budget, clear goals — and nowhere to hide.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives on challenge, owns their outcomes, and understands exactly how to find and close top-tier CS talent.
The basics:
- $75,000/year + all travel covered
- Full-time employment with benefits
- Based in the US (with extensive travel to Stanford and MIT)
You might be our ideal candidate if you:
- Bring contagious energy that turns heads — and makes students show up
- Treat logistics like a strategy game and love getting every detail right
- Stay calm under pressure and don’t blink when plans shift last-minute
- Know how to own a room, move a funnel, and drive toward hard goals
- Love the pace of campus life and the challenge of turning interest into action
- Thrive on the road — suitcase packed, calendar full, always a step ahead
If you’re an MIT or Stanford alum — or you know how to win on those campuses — this is the highest-leverage recruiting job you’ll find.
What you will be doing
- Building and managing a high-conversion funnel of MIT and Stanford CS/ML students from initial outreach to offer acceptances
- Owning logistics for all on-campus recruiting events — from reserving rooms to ordering food and printing flyers
- Traveling frequently to Stanford and MIT to run live sessions, info talks, and high-energy touchpoints with students and faculty
- Running a disciplined, metric-driven campaign: outreach volume, attendance, assessment pass-through, and final class yield
- Acting as the face of the Alpha AI Engineer internship on campus — responsive, organized, and credible
What you will NOT be doing
- Waiting for employer brand or HR to drive engagement — you own the outcome, end-to-end
- Attending campuses casually or doing “light touch” recruiting — this is a full-court press, every week
- Relying on a logistics team to execute — you’ll book the rooms, ship the swag, and confirm the catering
- Working a 9-to-5 — peak hours happen when students are free: nights, weekends, midterms
Key responsibilities
Deliver a full, high-caliber Alpha AI Engineer internship class (50+ admits) from MIT and Stanford by May 2026 through direct outreach, events, and application funnel management.
Candidate requirements
- 1+ years of college recruiting, admissions, or event-based outreach experience
- Demonstrated success in high-volume outreach and student engagement
- Proven ability to manage complex event logistics independently
- Clear communicator, highly organized, self-directed
- Based anywhere in the US with ability to travel frequently to MIT and Stanford
Nice to have
- Alumni status from MIT or Stanford
- Experience recruiting for CS/ML or other technical pipelines
- Background in sales, campaign organizing, or startup ops
