Technical Recruiter, Early Career

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together . We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. About the Role: Notion is looking for an Early Career Recruiter who wants to reimagine what early career hiring can look like. This is a role for a builder: someone energized by the question of how to find and cultivate exceptional emerging talent, who gets excited about crafting programs and experiences that don't yet exist, and who sees employer brand, candidate experience, and assessment design in an AI era as creative problems worth obsessing over. You'll own Notion's early career strategy end-to-end alongside a team of talented teammates — from how we reach communities to how we evaluate potential, develop talent, and convert interns and new grads into the next generation of Notinos. You'll work closely with our Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, and People teams. This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. 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 laun

Requirements

• 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
