University Recruiting Lead
Kensho has built one of the most talented engineering organizations on the planet. We've achieved this success by aggressively recruiting from top research institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Princeton and more. We have robust future hiring goals, and we are looking for a full time Campus Recruiting Lead to help build strong, long-lasting relationships with our target schools. More than just a recruiting role, this is an opportunity to join the company and build a program that will become a cornerstone of our continued growth. The right candidate must be able to think strategically about cultivating influential long term relationships, while simultaneously acting as the point person on all campus recruiting activities. We have a highly supportive team environment where everyone contributes to recruiting efforts. The Lead will partner with internal hiring managers to optimize team engagement with top research universities nationwide, building a program, then increasing its effectiveness at every turn. The Lead should be able to think beyond the scope of university recruiting, and help synthesize our company-wide recruiting plan. Kensho is a special company with a unique value proposition, and we are not looking to build a cookie-cutter program. The right candidate should have fresh, creative ideas on how to differentiate Kensho and to create brand affinity among tomorrow's top engineers. The Lead must also be able to think outside the box on ways to leverage existing alumni relationships to form and deepen our institutional partnerships.
