- Partner closely with leaders at Perplexity on workforce planning, hiring strategy, and candidate evaluation.

- Build and scale a strategy that goes far beyond the usual playbooks. Explore creative, unconventional ways to build a talent brand and foster relationships that help uncover hidden superstar talent.

- Plan and execute campus programming including but not limited to technical talks, coding competitions and hackathons, on-campus interviews, and VIP events.

WHAT YOU BRING

- 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience owning university, campus, intern or early-career hiring.

- Strong organizational mindset–this role is high volume and pressure, juggling multiple workstreams and candidates that you’ll have to manage.

- Willingness to travel up to 25%, concentrated during fall and spring recruiting seasons.

NICE TO HAVE

- Existing relationships with top CS, ML and engineering programs, research labs or competitive programming communities (ICPC, USACO, etc.).
