About the Role

What Genius AI can build depends on the caliber of the people on our Product, Design, and Engineering teams—and that caliber doesn’t come from posting a job and waiting. This role is built on a unique sourcing strategy: identifying where the best people are, how to reach them, and how to generate excitement before they’re even looking. You won’t just move candidates through a pipeline—you’ll build the strategy that fills it. The bar is high because the stakes are high: every hire either increases our talent density or decreases it.

You will report to our Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and work 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 where top talent actually is and how to reach them before they’re even looking.
• Source active and passive candidates across these functions, focusing on who will be the next force multiplier—not just who is available.
• Leverage alumni networks, drive referrals, and build campus programs and industry event presence as real pipelines.
• Organize events, dinners, and other opportunities for genuine human connection—relationship building AI sourcing can’t replace.
• Build AI-powered workflows for repeatable parts of sourcing, screening, and pipeline tracking, so your judgment stays focused on the candidates who need it most.
• 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 while ensuring details don’t 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.
• Experience using AI to rebuild how you operate—whether through automating repetitive tasks, building personal workflows, or moving faster than your peers.
• Genuine energy for both people and AI, and curiosity about how the two intersect in how companies hire.
• Strong organization and sharp attention to detail, with the ability to manage a high volume of requisitions without losing candidates or letting hiring managers fall through.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the instinct to adjust tone for candidates, hiring managers, or executives.
• Insatiable curiosity—asking questions until you understand the “why” behind a role or process.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive health & dental insurance options, effective on your first day of employment.
• Flexible PTO.
• In-office lunch twice per week for NYC and SF employees, plus late night dinner stipends.
• Access to Wellhub, a corporate wellness platform with discounted gym memberships, fitness classes, and mental health resources.
• Annual stipend for professional development and continued learning.
• High performers at 5 years receive a generous stipend to use however you recharge best.
• 401k benefit: employees are eligible to contribute starting day 1 of employment.
• Dependent Care FSA.
• Paid parental leave.
• Fertility and adoption benefits via Carrot and Kindbody.

The base salary for this role is between $80,000–$110,000 + equity + benefits. The compensation package offered is dependent upon many factors including skills, experience, location, and education. The range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. Additionally, this role is currently eligible to participate in Genius AI's equity plan as well as a range of health & wellbeing, retirement savings, and other benefits within our total rewards offering.
