Description
This is not a standard recruiting position.
Crossover seeks a university recruiter to identify and enroll the next cohort of 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns—top-tier undergraduates from Stanford and MIT who will spend their summer working with generative AI. Your mission: fill that class quickly.
You will manage the full recruitment cycle: from cultivating relationships and organizing events to executing high-volume outreach and converting candidates. You must operate with the agility of a startup founder, the instinct of a talent scout, and the discipline of a sales executive. Expect no prestige dinners or branded swag tables. What matters: 50 students, summer 2026, Austin, TX. You will have complete autonomy, budget, and clearly defined goals—with full accountability.
This position suits someone who embraces difficult targets, takes full ownership of results, and knows precisely how to identify and secure elite CS talent.
Key details:
- Annual salary of $75,000 with all travel expenses covered
- Full-time role with benefits
- US-based with significant travel to MIT and Stanford
You may be the right fit if you:
- Carry infectious enthusiasm that attracts attention and drives student attendance
- Approach event logistics strategically and insist on precision in every detail
- Remain composed under pressure and adapt quickly when circumstances change
- Can command a room, manage a pipeline, and pursue ambitious targets
- Enjoy the rhythm of campus environments and the process of converting interest into commitment
- Excel in constant travel—always prepared, calendar full, one step ahead
If you graduated from Stanford or MIT—or understand how to succeed on those campuses—this represents the most impactful recruiting role available.
What you will be doing
- Developing and overseeing a high-conversion recruitment pipeline for Stanford and MIT CS/ML students, spanning first contact through accepted offers
- Managing all logistical elements of on-campus recruiting activities—including room reservations, catering orders, and printed materials
- Making frequent trips to MIT and Stanford to conduct live events, information sessions, and dynamic engagement activities with students and faculty
- Executing a metrics-focused recruitment campaign: tracking outreach volume, event attendance, assessment progression, and final enrollment yield
- Serving as the primary campus representative for the Alpha AI Engineer internship—accessible, well-organized, and authoritative
What you will NOT be doing
- Relying on employer branding or HR teams to generate engagement—you are accountable for the complete outcome
- Making occasional campus visits or conducting passive recruiting—this demands intensive, weekly effort
- Depending on a logistics support team for execution—you will secure venues, arrange shipments, and coordinate catering yourself
- Adhering to standard business hours—peak activity aligns with student availability: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Recruit and secure a complete, high-quality cohort of 50+ Alpha AI Engineer interns from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 via targeted outreach, campus events, and comprehensive application funnel oversight.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 1 year of experience in university recruiting, admissions, or event-driven outreach
- Verified track record in high-volume outreach and student engagement initiatives
- Established capability to independently manage intricate event logistics
- Strong communicator, exceptionally organized, and self-motivated
- US-based with willingness and ability to travel regularly to Stanford and MIT
Nice to have
- Degree from Stanford or MIT
- Prior experience recruiting for CS/ML or similar technical talent pools
- History in sales, campaign coordination, or startup operations
