Description
This is not a traditional recruiting position.
Crossover is seeking a college recruiter responsible for identifying and securing the next cohort of 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns: top-performing undergraduates from Stanford and MIT who will dedicate their summer to building with generative AI. Your mission is straightforward: deliver that class. Quickly.
You will manage the complete recruitment cycle: relationship development, event planning, mass outreach, and candidate conversion. You must operate with the agility of a startup, the instincts of a talent scout, and the discipline of a sales executive. This role is not centered on formal dinners or promotional giveaways. It's about measurable outcomes: 50 students, summer 2026, Austin, TX. You will have complete operational freedom — independence, funding, defined targets — and full accountability.
This position suits someone energized by difficult goals, committed to ownership, and experienced in sourcing and securing elite CS talent.
Role fundamentals:
- Annual salary of $75,000 plus full travel reimbursement
- Full-time position with comprehensive benefits
- US-based with frequent travel to MIT and Stanford campuses
You may be the right fit if you:
- Bring infectious enthusiasm that captures attention — and drives attendance
- Approach logistics as a strategic challenge and enjoy perfecting every component
- Remain composed under stress and adapt seamlessly when circumstances change
- Know how to command a room, manage a pipeline, and push toward ambitious objectives
- Enjoy the rhythm of campus recruiting and the process of converting interest into commitment
- Excel in travel-heavy roles — always prepared, schedule optimized, one move ahead
If you graduated from Stanford or MIT — or you understand how to succeed on those campuses — this represents the most impactful recruiting opportunity available.
What you will be doing
- Developing and driving a high-yield recruitment pipeline of CS/ML students from MIT and Stanford, spanning first contact through offer acceptance
- Managing all logistical aspects of campus recruiting events — including venue booking, catering coordination, and materials production
- Making frequent trips to MIT and Stanford to facilitate live presentations, information sessions, and high-impact engagements with students and faculty
- Executing a data-driven, disciplined recruiting campaign: tracking outreach volume, event turnout, assessment progression, and final enrollment
- Serving as the primary campus representative for the Alpha AI Engineer internship — accessible, dependable, and authoritative
What you will NOT be doing
- Depending on employer branding or HR teams to generate interest — you control the entire process from beginning to end
- Visiting campuses sporadically or conducting passive outreach — this requires continuous, intensive engagement every week
- Delegating logistics to support staff — you will reserve venues, ship materials, and arrange catering yourself
- Maintaining standard business hours — prime engagement windows align with student availability: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Recruit and secure a complete, top-tier Alpha AI Engineer internship cohort (50+ accepted offers) from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 via targeted outreach, campus events, and end-to-end application funnel oversight.
Candidate requirements
- 1+ years of experience in college recruiting, admissions work, or event-driven outreach
- Verified track record in large-scale outreach and student engagement initiatives
- Demonstrated capability to independently oversee complex event logistics
- Strong communicator, exceptionally organized, highly autonomous
- US-based with willingness to travel regularly to Stanford and MIT
Nice to have
- Degree from Stanford or MIT
- Prior experience recruiting for computer science, machine learning, or other technical talent pipelines
- Professional history in sales, campaign coordination, or startup operations
