Job description

About the Team: 

The Talent Acquisition does more than just fill roles; we architect how Relativity grows. You'll partner closely with hiring managers, understand the gaps they're facing, and design hiring strategies around those needs. You're a trusted partner shaping not only who we hire, but how we hire. From building scalable interview frameworks to creating a candidate experience that reflects our values, the team lays the foundation for the long-term success of Relativity.

Our University Recruiting team is looking for a full lifecycle Senior University Recruiter who will manage all intern programming including budget, events, mid-term reviews with hiring managers, exit interviews with interns, and be the main go-to person for when interns are onsite in one of our locations. You will partner closely with University student groups, professors, and career centers to plan events for year-round recruiting. This Recruiter will also be expected to develop an understanding of the business objectives of our teams, and leverage this knowledge to serve as a consultant to our hiring managers. 

About the Role:

We're looking for a contract Senior University Recruiter to help lead on our early talent strategy-from building best-in-class intern programs to creating meaningful long-term university partnerships. You'll own the full lifecycle for intern and new grad hiring across multiple disciplines and play a key role in driving Relativity's future workforce. We are looking for someone who has led high-volume, year-round university recruiting programs (100+ interns/year) and knows how to operate in a fast-changing, high-growth environment. You'll partner with engineering and business leaders, career centers, and student orgs alike-bringing structure and insight to our existing program.

In partnership with the rest of the University Team you will:

  • Lead the full lifecycle recruiting process for interns and new grads-from sourcing to interviews, offers, and conversion. 
  • Manage the end-to-end intern experience including onboarding, programming, mid-term check-ins, final reviews, and exit interviews.
  • Build strong partnerships with career centers, professors, and student groups; plan and execute recruiting events and outreach strategies.
  • Use data and feedback to improve our funnel, streamline operations, and help shape an inclusive, equitable process. 
  • Collaborate with our employer branding team to strengthen our presence on campus and bring Relativity's mission to life for students. 
  • Travel to campuses and events throughout the year, with a heavy fall season.

Onsite requirements: This is an onsite role. You can expect work 5 days a week onsite at our Long Beach Headquarters to support all onsite interviews, occasional onsite team meetings, and hiring manager discussions.

About You:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle university recruiting experience at a fast-growing company with a robust internship program (100+ interns/year).
  • Demonstrated success running internship and new grad programs that deliver high conversion and strong candidate experience.
  • Experience building and maintaining partnerships with key university stakeholders, such as career centers, faculty, student orgs.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working in a rapidly changing environment.
  • Confident, collaborative communicator who can influence at all levels. 
  • Committed to equitable hiring and inclusive candidate experiences.
  • Willing and able to travel frequently during peak recruiting season.

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Industry experience in tech, aerospace, engineering, or similar.
  • Familiarity with Greenhouse, RippleMatch, Yello or similar tools.
  • Strong data fluency-able to track pipeline metrics, DEI outcomes, and ROI on events.
