Early Talent Recruiter

Roles and Responsibilities:

Tenstorrent is building the future of AI compute, and this role will build the talent pipeline that makes it possible. As an Early Talent Recruiter, you will own university and early-career recruiting for your site, shaping which schools we invest in, building relationships with students and faculty, and leading intern, co-op, and new-grad hiring from first outreach through accepted offer. You will not simply run an existing campus calendar. You will decide where to focus, raise the quality of the funnel, and build the recruiting motion that our growing hardware and software teams need.

This role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, Boston, MA, Raleigh, NC, or Toronto, ON.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

Who You Are

• You use judgment and influence to partner with hiring managers, challenge assumptions when needed, and hold a clear hiring bar without relying on authority.
• You work from funnel data and can connect measures such as applications, conversions, offer acceptance, and candidate experience to practical decisions.
• You care about students and candidates at every stage, including high-volume seasons and difficult decisions, and you communicate with clarity and respect.

What We Need

• Run the internship and build the direct new-grad funnels end to end, from sourcing and screening through interviews, offers, and acceptance.
• Partner with hosting business leaders and the Early Talent Program Manager to define candidate profiles, calibrate what strong performance looks like, and make thoughtful decisions when seats are limited.
• Contribute to the Tenstorrent Talent Brand by making a positive impression on early talent, even when we don’t hire, and nurturing those relationships long-term.
