Description
CAUTION: This recruiting role operates nothing like traditional talent acquisition.
Crossover seeks a college recruiter to identify and secure the next cohort of 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns: top-performing undergraduates from Stanford and MIT, prepared to dedicate their summer to generative AI development. Your mission? Complete that roster. Quickly.
You'll oversee the complete recruitment pipeline: relationship cultivation and event coordination through to mass outreach and candidate commitment. You must operate with startup agility, strategize like a talent hunter, and deliver like a revenue closer. This isn't about networking receptions or branded giveaways. It's about measurable outcomes: 50 students, summer 2026, Austin, TX. You'll receive complete support — independence, resources, defined objectives — with full accountability.
This position suits someone who welcomes demanding targets, accepts ownership of deliverables, and knows precisely how to identify and secure elite CS candidates.
Core details:
- $75,000 annual salary + complete travel reimbursement
- Full-time position with comprehensive benefits
- US-based location (requiring frequent travel to MIT and Stanford)
You may be the right fit if you:
- Project infectious enthusiasm that captures attention — and drives student participation
- Approach event planning like tactical execution and value precision in every component
- Remain composed when deadlines tighten and adapt smoothly when circumstances change
- Understand how to command attention, accelerate pipelines, and achieve ambitious targets
- Appreciate the rhythm of campus environments and the art of converting curiosity into commitment
- Excel in travel-intensive roles — prepared, scheduled, consistently proactive
If you graduated from Stanford or MIT — or understand how to succeed at those institutions — this represents the most impactful recruiting opportunity available.
What you will be doing
- Developing and overseeing a results-focused pipeline of Stanford and MIT CS/ML undergraduates from first contact through accepted offers
- Managing all operational aspects of campus recruiting activities — including venue booking, catering arrangements, and promotional materials
- Maintaining a frequent travel schedule to MIT and Stanford for in-person sessions, information presentations, and high-impact student and faculty engagement
- Executing a structured, data-informed recruitment effort: tracking outreach numbers, event participation, assessment progression, and final enrollment
- Serving as the primary campus representative for the Alpha AI Engineer internship — accessible, efficient, and trustworthy
What you will NOT be doing
- Depending on corporate branding or human resources to generate interest — you control the entire process
- Visiting campuses sporadically or conducting passive recruitment — this requires intensive, continuous effort
- Delegating operational tasks to support staff — you'll secure venues, coordinate shipments, and manage catering directly
- Maintaining standard office hours — critical engagement occurs during student availability: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Successfully recruit and secure a complete, exceptional Alpha AI Engineer internship cohort (50+ accepted students) from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 through targeted outreach, campus events, and systematic application pipeline oversight.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 1 year experience in college recruiting, admissions operations, or event-driven outreach
- Verified track record in large-scale outreach and student mobilization
- Established capability to coordinate sophisticated event operations without assistance
- Strong communication skills, exceptional organizational discipline, autonomous work style
- US residency with capacity for regular travel to Stanford and MIT
Nice to have
- Degree holder from Stanford or MIT
- Prior experience recruiting for CS/ML or similar technical talent streams
- Professional history in sales execution, campaign management, or startup operations
