About the role
We're building something a little different here.
Most recruiting jobs want someone who's already been a recruiter. This one is specifically designed for people who haven't - but have done something else really well and are ready to make a move. Think: sales, ops, account management, consulting. You've spent a couple years getting good at talking to people, staying organized under pressure, and figuring out what makes something (or someone) a good fit. Now you want to bring that into a career that sits at the intersection of people and technology.
That's exactly who this role is for.
This program is designed to give you a real foundation in recruiting (not just "source resumes all day") so you can grow into a full-cycle recruiter who knows this industry inside and out. Part of that is learning how to actually use AI tools in your day-to-day work. Recruiting has changed, and we'll teach you how to use tools like Claude and ChatGPT to write better outreach, move faster, and spend less time on the low-value stuff - so you can focus on the parts that require a real human: the conversations, the relationships, the judgment calls. If you're curious about where recruiting is headed and want to learn it the right way from the start, that's a big part of what this program offers.
If you've been looking for the right door into tech recruiting, this is it.
Applications close March 31, 2026.At Applied Intuition, you will:
- Work alongside our senior recruiters to help us find and hire the people building the future of autonomous systems and AI
- Learn how to source and reach out to candidates in ways that don't feel like spam (harder than it sounds, genuinely a skill)
- Conduct phone screens and get good at quickly understanding both what a candidate brings and what they're looking for
- Own the candidate experience end-to-end - because how someone feels about their interview process matters, even if we don't make an offer
- Get hands-on with tools like Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, Ashby, Juicebox, and other industry-standard tools
- Jump into recruiting ops work - university programs, talent branding events, whatever the team needs
- Become an industry expert on the latest technologies and best practices in applying artificial intelligence to recruiting and HR
We're looking for someone who has:
- 2 - 3 years of work experience in a role where you had to communicate clearly, move fast, and keep a lot of balls in the air
- You're a people person, but not in a superficial way - you actually listen, you build trust quickly, and you follow through
- You're not scared of learning new tools and you pick things up fast
- You want to be in tech - specifically the autonomy and AI space - and you're ready to put in the work to get there
Nice to have:
- Prior experience in a startup environment, demonstrating adaptability and a can-do attitude
- Exposure to the automotive, robotics, or aerospace industries
