You will play a critical role in creating pipelines of talent by developing and executing recruitment strategies, supporting candidates through the application process, and fostering a commitment to national service.

Each recruiter’s portfolio contains 10+ college campuses that focus on the highest producing historical schools and are proximate to the local City Year site. This position is located in Seattle, WA, with occasional travel to other parts of Washington and Oregon, to be proximate to the portfolio of campuses.

Recruiters prioritize being on campus 2-3 days per week to develop a deep network of on campus relationships as well as to generate leads and applicants through direct outreach. Recruiters will be able to work remotely from home on non-campus days. Travel to the City Year Seattle office will be required throughout the year, with travel expenses covered by City Year.
