Description
This is not a conventional recruiting position.
Crossover seeks a college recruiter to identify and secure the next cohort of 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns: exceptional undergraduates from Stanford and MIT, prepared to dedicate their summer to generative AI development. Your objective? Assemble that class. Quickly.
You will manage the complete pipeline: relationship development and event coordination through large-scale outreach and candidate acquisition. You must operate with the agility of a startup team member, assess talent like a scout, and deliver results like a sales executive. This role is not centered on exclusive dinners or promotional merchandise. It is focused on measurable outcomes: 50 students, summer 2026, Austin, TX. You will have complete support — independence, resources, defined targets — and full accountability.
This position suits someone who excels under challenge, accepts ownership of results, and knows precisely how to locate and secure elite CS talent.
Compensation and structure:
- $75,000 annually + comprehensive travel expenses
- Full-time role with standard benefits
- US-based (frequent travel to MIT and Stanford required)
You may be the right fit if you:
- Generate infectious enthusiasm that captures attention — and drives student attendance
- Approach logistics as strategic execution and ensure precision in every element
- Maintain composure under pressure and adapt when circumstances change abruptly
- Understand how to command attention, advance a pipeline, and achieve demanding objectives
- Appreciate the intensity of campus recruiting and the art of converting interest into commitment
- Excel in travel-heavy roles — prepared, scheduled, consistently proactive
If you are an alum of Stanford or MIT — or possess the expertise to succeed on those campuses — this represents the most impactful recruiting opportunity available.
What you will be doing
- Constructing and overseeing a high-yield recruitment funnel targeting MIT and Stanford CS/ML students, spanning first contact through accepted offers
- Managing all logistical components of on-campus recruitment activities — including venue reservations, catering coordination, and collateral production
- Conducting regular travel to MIT and Stanford to lead live presentations, information sessions, and dynamic engagement with students and academic staff
- Executing a structured, data-informed campaign: tracking outreach scale, event participation, assessment progression, and final cohort enrollment
- Serving as the primary representative of the Alpha AI Engineer internship program on campus — accessible, well-organized, and authoritative
What you will NOT be doing
- Depending on employer branding or HR functions to generate engagement — you control the entire process, from start to finish
- Visiting campuses infrequently or conducting passive recruiting — this demands sustained, intensive effort every week
- Delegating logistics to support teams — you will secure venues, arrange shipments, and finalize catering details
- Maintaining standard office hours — prime engagement occurs when students are available: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Recruit and secure a complete, top-tier Alpha AI Engineer internship class (50+ accepted candidates) from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 via targeted outreach, event execution, and comprehensive application pipeline oversight.
Candidate requirements
- 1+ years of experience in college recruiting, admissions operations, or event-driven outreach
- Documented success executing high-volume outreach and engaging student populations
- Confirmed ability to independently coordinate complex event logistics
- Effective communicator, exceptionally organized, independently motivated
- Located in the United States with capacity for frequent travel to Stanford and MIT
Nice to have
- Graduate of Stanford or MIT
- Prior experience recruiting for CS/ML or comparable technical talent pipelines
- Professional history in sales, campaign management, or startup operations
