Technical Recruiter - 2026 New Graduate

About the role

Radiant is seeking a driven entry-level recruiter to join our talent team and help build the engineering teams behind Kaleidos, our portable, mass-producible nuclear microreactor targeting commercial deployment in 2028.

This is a role for someone who wants to start a career in recruitment, work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with real ownership and influence, build a deep tech career, and learn about several technical domains like nuclear, hardware, electrical, software, and more.

Responsibilities

• Run your own reqs from open to close, building the pipeline, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and getting offers signed.
• Find niche talent markets for specialized engineering roles in places like GitHub repos, arXiv papers, technical mailing lists, tech foundation communities, conference speaker rosters, and academic programs.
• Create talent market reports based on research you drive to help make better-informed recruiting strategies.
• Cook up interviews and help facilitate hiring team debriefs to keep decisions moving quickly.
• Sit in on offer conversations with senior recruiters and learn how strategy and closing work in practice.
• Help shape how Radiant recruits; the processes, tools, and 3rd party platforms you help build and adopt now become the foundation the team scales on.
• Get hands-on exposure to hiring across multiple technical functions: electrical, mechanical, software, and more.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university.
• 0–2 years of experience in recruiting, sales, sourcing, or coordination, or you've picked it up on your own and can point to something that proves it.
• Something outside the classroom that shows real team influence, a club you led, student government, a project you built, a sport you competed in, or work you volunteered for.
• A genuine pull toward hardware, nuclear, physics, or AI/ML; you don't need an engineering background, just real curiosity.
• A bias toward action: you move quickly, problem-solve on the fly, and know when to raise your hand for help.
• You're able to hold a genuine conversation with technical candidates, curious enough to ask good questions, and honest enough to admit when something's outside your depth.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM-related major is a plus.
• Any prior exposure to hardware, software, engineering, or tech recruiting, even informally.
• Comfort picking up new tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, sourcing, LLM platforms, even without direct prior experience.

Skills

• None specifically listed, but strong communication, networking, and analytical skills are essential.
