Technical Recruiter, Early Career
Technical Recruiter owning end-to-end early career strategy at Notion, including designing internship and new grad programs, innovating talent discovery and evaluation methods, building employer brand, and coaching hiring teams for engineering, product, design, sales, and people roles. Requires 2+ years recruiting experience with early career focus and a builder mindset.
About the job
What You'll Achieve
- A differentiated early career engine — design and run recruiting programs (internships, new grad pipelines, 0-2 years from school pipelines) that are durable, scalable, and distinctly Notion
- New models for talent discovery — beyond traditional campus funnels; experiment with communities, hackathons, open-source, AI-native sourcing tools, and creative outreach that meets candidates where they are
- Inspired evaluation frameworks — challenge conventional interview loops; build assessments that reveal how early career candidates think, learn, and create — not just what they already know
- A compelling employer brand presence — partner with Comms, Design, and People to articulate why Notion is the best place to launch a career, and bring that story to life across channels, events, and touchpoints
- Hiring team capability — coach and equip hiring managers and interviewers to assess early career talent with nuance, fairness, and high standards
Skills You'll Need to Bring
- 2+ years of recruiter experience, with meaningful exposure to early career, university, or program-based hiring
- A builder mentality — you're most energized when creating something new, not managing something established
- Genuine curiosity about how to find and evaluate emerging talent; you're always experimenting with new sourcing channels, assessment formats, and candidate engagement strategies
- Strong instincts for employer brand and candidate experience — you think about how every touchpoint shapes perception and builds (or erodes) trust
- The ability to move between strategy and execution; you can design a program and then run it
- Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills with candidates, hiring teams, and cross-functional partners
- Comfort with data — you use it to make decisions, spot patterns, and make the case for what's working
Nice to Haves
- You've built or contributed to an early career program from scratch
- You've experimented with non-traditional sourcing or evaluation approaches and can speak to what you learned
- You're deeply familiar with the early career talent landscape in engineering and technical roles
- You use Notion and love it — you get what we're building
