Each year, Perplexity hires an exceptional cohort of early career talent to join our technical team. We’re looking for a University Recruiter to architect our early career programs and shape our strategy for attracting and evaluating the world’s most elite early-career talent.

This is a full-stack role where you’ll be responsible for all aspects of campus lifecycle recruiting: building relationships with external organizations, driving partnerships with internal stakeholders, and running full-cycle recruiting for all candidates. You’ll enjoy incredible latitude to design our programs and candidate experiences end-to-end, along with high-taste playbooks for how we bring the best and brightest to Perplexity.

What You’ll Do

Own full-cycle recruiting process for all early career candidates from sourcing to closing.

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.).
