Recruiting Associate

Genius AI builds technology that helps local businesses automate administrative work across booking, marketing, client management, finances, staffing, and inventory. The Recruiting Associate will develop and execute sourcing strategies for Engineering, Product, and Design roles, source and screen candidates, build talent pipelines, and partner with recruiters and hiring managers to manage interview processes.

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

• 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
