Recruiting Associate

About the Role

What Genius AI can build for customers comes down to the caliber of the people on our Product, Design, and Engineering teams, and caliber like that doesn't come from posting a job and waiting. It comes from a unique sourcing strategy: knowing where the best people are, how to reach them, and how to get them excited about what we're building before they're even looking. That's what this role is. You won't just be moving candidates through a pipeline; you'll be building the strategy that fills it in the first place. The bar is high because the stakes are high; every hire on these teams either raises our talent density or lowers it.

You will report to our Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and will operate in an in-person environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What You'll Do

Build and run the sourcing strategy for Engineering, Product, and Design roles, mapping out where the best talent actually is and how to reach them before they're even looking
Source active and passive candidates across these functions, always asking who's going to be the next force multiplier on this team, not just who's available
Tap into alumni networks, mine referrals, and build out campus programs and industry event presence as real pipelines, not afterthoughts
Organize events, dinners, and other moments of real human connection, the kind of relationship building that AI sourcing will never replace
Build AI-powered workflows for the repeatable parts of sourcing, screening, and pipeline tracking, so your judgment stays focused on the candidates who need it
Screen and manage technical candidates through early-stage interviews, from resume review through handoff to the hiring team
Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to keep interview loops moving without letting details slip

What We're Looking For

1+ year of experience in a recruiting agency, tech startup, hedge fund, or investment bank, with exposure to high-volume, fast-moving processes
Already rebuilt how you operate using AI, whether that's automating a repetitive task, building a personal workflow, or using it to move faster than your peers
Genuinely energized by people and by AI, and curious about how the two intersect in how companies hire
Highly organized with sharp attention to detail, able to manage a high volume of requisitions without letting candidates or hiring managers fall through
Sharp written and verbal communication skills, with the instinct to adjust tone for a candidate, a hiring manager, or an executive
Insatiably curious, asking questions until you actually understand the "why" behind a role or a process
