We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

Applied Intuition is looking for a Recruiting Programs Lead to own two distinct but connected programs: our early career talent programs and our contingent workforce program. You will build the structure, compliance rigor, and scalability behind how we hire and manage talent outside the traditional full-time pipeline - from the students and new grads who become future full-time hires, to the contractors, temps, and agency workers who help the business flex and scale.

This role requires real depth in both areas, not just program management generalist skills: you should already know how to run a university relations and internship pipeline, and you should already know the compliance landscape around contingent labor, particularly in California. You will also be a trusted advisor to stakeholders across the business - someone who can defend a process because it is the right process, not simply implement whatever is asked.

• Own and scale our early career talent program, including university relations, new grad hiring, and internship programs, building consistent, high-quality experiences across teams and locations

• Manage the full early career recruiting lifecycle - from campus and university partnerships through offer and onboarding handoff - treating it as a cohesive, repeatable program

• Build and manage our contingent worker program end to end, including vendor and staffing agency management, to ensure consistent, compliant, high-quality engagements across the business.

• Bring working knowledge of the compliance landscape around contingent labor in California, including how different worker classifications (contractors, temp, temp-to-hire, and other contingent types) need to be structured and managed to stay compliant

• Manage contingent talent through a Vendor Management System (VMS), including requisitions, worker tracking, and spend visibility

• Bring or build knowledge of other worker types and how to work with Employers of Record (EORs), extending the contingent workforce model beyond the U.S. as needed

• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, internal applications, and Engineering teams to ensure early career and contingent programs align with business objectives and regulatory requirements

• Analyze program data and metrics - time-to-fill, pipeline health, contingent workforce spend and compliance risk - to identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement

• Drive automation across both programs (requisition approvals, candidate communications, vendor onboarding, training/compliance tracking, reporting) to reduce manual work and increase accuracy

• Bachelor's degree and 6+ years of experience in recruiting operations and other teams including talent acquisition, or people program management roles with demonstrated stakeholder management experience

• Proven track record of building and scaling an early career talent program, including university relations, new grad hiring, and internship programs

• Proven success building and managing a contingent worker program, including vendor/staffing agency management and day-to-day use of a VMS

• Solid understanding of employment law and compliance requirements as they relate to contingent workforce management, particularly in California

• Strong program management background with the ability to design and optimize processes, integrate feedback, and communicate outcomes across all levels

• Strong analytical mindset with experience using recruiting and workforce data to drive program improvements and decision-makin

• Experience with VMS platforms; Flextracks is preferred

• Knowledge of other contingent worker types and experience working with Employers of Record (EORs)

• Experience in high-growth technology companies, particularly in automotive or autonomous vehicle industries

• Direct involvement in scaling recruiting or talent operations from early-stage startups to larger organizational structures

• Experience with ATS platforms that translate data to insights and actions

• Background in change management or organizational development
