Recruiting Specialist, AI Fellowship Programs

Role Description

CodePath is launching a new AI fellowship program, and we need experienced recruiters to help us select our first cohorts of fellows. Over the 6-month contract you'll work two intensive screening waves, each roughly 10 weeks, selecting hundreds of fellows across the two cohorts from thousands of applicants. This is high-volume, structured screening work with real stakes: the people you advance will go on to shape the next generation of AI practitioners.

You'll review written applications, conduct 30-minute structured interviews, score candidates against a six-competency rubric, and manage your own pipeline in Greenhouse. The work is fast-paced, calibration-heavy, and requires someone who can hold a consistent bar across hundreds of conversations. Between waves, you'll help sharpen the rubric and the process so the next cohort's selection runs better than the last.

What you will do

• Screen and evaluate candidates
• Review written applications against a structured rubric
• Conduct 30-minute structured interviews focused on six competencies, probing for specificity and depth rather than rehearsed answers
• Own your pipeline
• Manage your assigned candidates end-to-end in Greenhouse, from application review through disposition, scheduling, and stage transitions
• Handle scheduling exceptions, no-shows, and reschedules without bottlenecking the process
• Monitor take-home completion deadlines and flag candidates at risk of dropping off
• Calibrate and improve
• Participate in calibration syncs with the screening team, reviewing borderline cases, and aligning on scoring standards
• Flag patterns you notice in the applicant pool, rubric gaps, ambiguous scoring criteria, or competency questions that aren't differentiating
• Maintain inter-rater reliability by regularly comparing your pass-through rate and scoring distribution against the team baseline
• Help refine the rubric and process between screening waves

Key success metrics

• Sustain 35 screens per week (application reviews plus structured interviews) at consistent quality throughout each screening wave
• 95%+ of your candidates move through stages within SLA timelines
• Scoring distribution and pass-through rate stay within the team's calibration band

Qualifications

• You've run high-volume structured interviews before and know what it feels like to hold a bar across 30+ conversations a week without drifting
• You've worked in university recruiting, campus hiring, or fellowship/cohort selection where you're evaluating potential as much as experience
• You've worked in some aspect of recruiting and are looking for your first step to become a Recruiter
• You're comfortable with a tight rubric and daily calibration, and you see those as tools that make you better, not constraints that slow you down
• You've used an ATS (ideally Greenhouse) to manage candidate pipelines and can keep your own house clean without someone chasing you
• You're comfortable working alongside AI tools while utilizing your own judgment has to stay in the loop
• You care about equity in hiring and understand why structured processes exist: to reduce bias, not to create bureaucracy
