Description
WARNING: This is not a standard recruiting position.
Crossover is seeking a college recruiter to identify and secure the next cohort of 50 Alpha AI Engineer Interns: top-tier undergraduates from Stanford and MIT, prepared to dedicate their summer to building with generative AI. Your mission? Complete that roster. Quickly.
You'll manage the full recruitment cycle: from cultivating relationships and coordinating event logistics to executing high-volume outreach and converting candidates. You'll need to operate with startup agility, evaluate talent like a scout, and deliver results like a sales executive. This isn't about polished dinners or promotional giveaways. It's about 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 difficult challenges, takes ownership of results, and knows precisely how to identify and secure elite CS talent.
The fundamentals:
- $75,000 annual salary + complete travel expenses covered
- Full-time role with comprehensive benefits
- US-based (requiring frequent travel to MIT and Stanford)
You may be our perfect fit if you:
- Possess infectious enthusiasm that captures attention — and drives student participation
- Approach logistics as a tactical challenge and excel at precision execution
- Maintain composure under pressure and adapt smoothly when plans change unexpectedly
- Understand how to command a space, advance a pipeline, and achieve demanding targets
- Embrace the rhythm of campus environments and the task of converting interest into commitment
- Excel while traveling — ready to go, schedule booked, always prepared
If you're a Stanford or MIT graduate — or you understand how to succeed on those campuses — this represents the most impactful recruiting opportunity available.
What you will be doing
- Developing and overseeing a high-conversion recruitment pipeline of Stanford and MIT CS/ML students from first contact through accepted offers
- Managing all logistical elements for on-campus recruiting activities — including venue booking, catering arrangements, and materials production
- Making frequent trips to MIT and Stanford to conduct in-person sessions, informational presentations, and dynamic engagement opportunities with students and faculty
- Executing a structured, data-focused campaign: tracking outreach numbers, event turnout, assessment progression, and ultimate enrollment rates
- Serving as the primary representative of the Alpha AI Engineer internship program on campus — accessible, well-organized, and trustworthy
What you will NOT be doing
- Depending on employer branding or HR teams to generate engagement — you control the entire process and outcome
- Making occasional campus visits or conducting "soft touch" recruitment — this demands intensive, continuous effort every week
- Delegating logistics to support staff — you'll handle venue reservations, merchandise shipments, and catering confirmations yourself
- Maintaining traditional office hours — critical activity occurs during student availability: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Successfully recruit a complete, elite Alpha AI Engineer internship cohort (50+ accepted candidates) from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 through targeted outreach, campus events, and comprehensive application funnel oversight.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 1 year of experience in college recruiting, university admissions, or event-driven outreach
- Documented track record in high-volume outreach and student engagement initiatives
- Confirmed capability to independently handle complex event logistics
- Strong communication skills, exceptional organizational ability, self-motivated
- Located anywhere in the United States with willingness 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
- Experience in sales, campaign management, or startup operations
