Recruiting Specialist, AI Fellowship Programs (Contract)

CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country. We've trained over 40,000 students from 1,000+ universities, and our partners include Amazon, Google, and other leading technology companies. We've spent nearly a decade training the next generation of technical talent, and we just launched a $150M initiative with Anthropic, building one of the most ambitious AI workforce programs in the world.

About The Role

CodePath is launching a new AI fellowship program, Claude Corps, 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.

As a Recruiting Specialist, you own the screening. Here's what the funnel looks like:

• A short application with a couple of written questions
• A practical take-home assessment
• A 25-minute conversation
• A final-round Super Day, consisting of two 1:1 conversations

You'll review written applications, conduct the 25-minute structured conversations, and score candidates against a six-competency rubric, managing your own pipeline in Greenhouse and deciding who advances to the Super Day. The work is fast-paced, calibration-heavy, and requires someone who can hold a consistent bar across hundreds of conversations.

Responsibilities

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

Requirements

• 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
• You care about equity in hiring and understand why structured processes exist: to reduce bias, not to create bureaucracy
