About The Position
Our ability to identify, hire, and retain exceptional talent is foundational to our mission. The Talent team at TRM is made up of experienced operators who have built world-class Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and People teams at some of the most respected startups in Silicon Valley.
As a University Recruiter, you will play a critical role in building TRM’s early-career software engineering pipeline. You’ll focus on attracting, engaging, and hiring top student and new-grad talent through campus programs, events, partnerships, and early-career sourcing strategies. Your success will be measured by speed, quality, and the long-term impact of the talent you bring into TRM.
The impact you’ll have here:
Build and scale a high-velocity university recruiting engine for early-career software engineering talent.
Own the end-to-end recruiting lifecycle for interns, new grads, and other early-career engineering roles.
Represent TRM at university career fairs, campus events, and recruiting programs, serving as a front-line ambassador for our brand.
Partner with the Talent and Engineering teams to plan, execute, and continuously improve campus recruiting events and experiences.
Partner closely with Engineering hiring managers to forecast early-career needs and align on hiring plans.
Deliver thoughtful, inclusive, and high-touch candidate experiences across every stage of the process.
Design and execute campus and early-career sourcing strategies, including events, referrals, and targeted outreach.
Track funnel health, analyze conversion data, and use insights to improve yield and efficiency over time.
What we’re looking for:
2–3 years of University recruiting experience
Experience recruiting early-career or technical talent, ideally for software engineering roles.
Familiarity with campus recruiting programs, early-career pipelines, or emerging talent strategies.
Experience attending or supporting university career fairs and recruiting events.
Comfort representing an employer in live, high-volume environments and engaging with students in a compelling, authentic way.
Ability to plan and execute recruiting events end-to-end, including logistics, coordination, and post-event follow-up.
Comfort using ATS and sourcing tools to manage pipelines, track candidates, and report on outcomes.
Ability to analyze recruiting metrics (pass-through rates, funnel health, yield) and apply learnings quickly.
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with candidates and hiring partners.
A proactive, execution-oriented mindset with a high tolerance for ambiguity in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
This role requires regular in-person engagement, including the ability to work from the San Francisco office up to three days per week, attend in-office events as needed, and travel up to 25% to support university recruiting events and career fairs.
About the Team:
Our talent team is fully remote, embracing async communication and collaboration through Slack, thorough documentation, and proactive written updates.
We hold weekly hiring syncs, weekly sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings to stay aligned and solve problems quickly.
We care deeply about recruiting craft—process quality, data accuracy, and candidate experience are non-negotiable.
We’re globally distributed, with most collaboration overlapping between 7am–12pm PST.
All team members maintain at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours to support real-time collaboration.
