About the role
About Nooks.ai : Nooks is an applied AI lab building the Agent Workspace for GTM. We design AI agents that operate across the full sales action set, from account strategy to prospect research and outreach . Building 0→1 has never been easier, but selling at the speed of the market remains the last frontier for AI. Our mission is to 10x every seller by automating the busywork so they can focus on what humans do best: closing deals. Today, over 1,500 customers run on Nooks, including Notion, HubSpot, Cursor, and Rippling. We’ve raised $70M+ from top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, which made its first sales-tech investment in over a decade with us. Since then, we’ve tripled ARR each year for 3 years running and grown a high-caliber team turning the art of sales into a scalable science.
The Role This is a builder role. You'll own every aspect of Nooks' early talent strategy—from developing our university brand to hiring our annual class of exceptional new graduate software engineers. You'll create the programs, partnerships, and recruiting engine that make Nooks a destination for the best engineering students. During the off-season, you may help out with industry engineering hiring while still maintaining continual growth of our new grad programs. This isn't simply campus recruiting. You'll design the entire experience: identifying target schools, building faculty and student relationships, creating memorable events, running the recruiting process, and ensuring every new graduate has an outstanding experience from first interaction through onboarding. Success means establishing Nooks as one of the most sought-after engineering employers on campus while consistently hiring 8–10 exceptional new graduate software engineers annually from a focused set of 4–6 top computer science programs.
What You'll Do Own Nooks' end-to-end university recruiting strategy and execution. Develop a focused campus strategy across 4–6 top engineering universities. Build long-term relationships with career centers, professors, student organizations, and influential campus communities. Create Nooks' employer brand for early talent through events, technical talks, hackathons, sponsorships, social content, and student engagement. Design and manage our annual new graduate recruiting program, including sourcing, interview scheduling, offer management, and candidate experience. Partner closely with Engineering leadership to define hiring goals, interview processes, and evaluation standards. Build internship and new graduate recruiting programs that scale with the company. Create exceptional candidate experiences that reflect Nooks' culture and values. Plan and execute campus visits, information sessions, technical events, and networking opportunities. Track recruiting metrics and continuously improve conversion rates throughout the hiring funnel. Own recruiting operations, timelines, budgets, and vendor relationships related to university hiring. Partner with People Operations to help create an outstanding onboarding and early career experience.
