Description
IMPORTANT: This is not a conventional recruiting position.
Crossover seeks a university 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 will manage the full recruitment pipeline: relationship cultivation and event coordination through to large-scale outreach and candidate closing. You must operate with startup agility, assess talent with a scout's precision, and deliver with sales leadership discipline. This isn't about networking dinners or branded merchandise displays. 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 energized by ambitious targets, accountable for their deliverables, and skilled at identifying and securing elite CS talent.
Core details:
- $75,000 annual salary + complete travel expense coverage
- Full-time position with comprehensive benefits
- US-based location (requiring significant travel to MIT and Stanford)
You may be our perfect fit if you:
- Possess magnetic energy that commands attention — and drives student participation
- Approach event logistics as tactical execution and excel at precision planning
- Maintain composure under deadlines and adapt seamlessly when circumstances change
- Understand how to command presence, advance pipelines, and achieve demanding targets
- Embrace the rhythm of campus engagement and the task of converting curiosity into commitment
- Excel in constant travel — prepared, organized, consistently proactive
If you graduated from Stanford or MIT — or possess proven success recruiting there — this represents the most impactful university recruiting opportunity available.
What you will be doing
- Developing and overseeing a high-yield pipeline of Stanford and MIT CS/ML candidates from first contact through accepted offers
- Executing full logistics for every on-campus recruiting event — including venue booking, catering coordination, and collateral production
- Making frequent trips to MIT and Stanford to conduct in-person sessions, information presentations, and dynamic engagement with students and faculty
- Leading a structured, data-focused initiative: tracking outreach scale, event turnout, assessment progression, and final enrollment
- Serving as the primary campus representative for the Alpha AI Engineer internship — accessible, systematic, and authoritative
What you will NOT be doing
- Depending on corporate branding or HR departments to generate interest — you control the entire process from start to finish
- Visiting campuses sporadically or conducting passive recruiting efforts — this demands sustained, intensive presence weekly
- Delegating operational details to a support team — you will secure venues, arrange shipments, and manage vendor coordination
- Adhering to standard business hours — critical engagement occurs during student availability: evenings, weekends, exam periods
Key responsibilities
Assemble a complete, exceptional Alpha AI Engineer internship cohort (50+ accepted candidates) from Stanford and MIT by May 2026 via targeted outreach, campus events, and systematic application pipeline oversight.
Candidate requirements
- 1+ years in university recruiting, admissions operations, or event-driven outreach roles
- Documented achievements in high-volume candidate outreach and student mobilization
- Verified capability to execute multifaceted event logistics autonomously
- Strong communicator, exceptionally organized, independently motivated
- US-based with capacity for regular travel to Stanford and MIT
Nice to have
- Degree holder from Stanford or MIT
- Track record recruiting for CS/ML or related technical talent pools
- Experience in sales operations, grassroots campaign management, or startup environments
