Crimson Education is the world’s leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world’s top universities through expert-led guidance and proven, data-driven strategies. Crimson students are 7x more likely to get into the Ivy League than their peers. We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Crimson is the only college admissions consultancy that brings together:

• Former Ivy League and Top 20 admissions officers to rigorously review and refine applications

• Professors and PhD teaching fellows from leading universities to guide students through original, independent research — with pathways to selective peer-reviewed publication or conference presentation

• Past ISEF winners and judges who coach students to compete for state, national, and international science fair awards

• Capstone project mentors who help students design and scale leadership initiatives with real-world impact, measurable outcomes, and credible external validation

We’re backed by leading VC firms, including Tiger Global, Heal Partners, IceHouse Ventures, and Movac, and recently closed a USD $40M Series D funding round at a USD $640M valuation. We now operate across 21 markets worldwide, including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Role

This is a full-time, fully remote position. We're looking for a driven Recruiter to join Crimson's central Talent function and support hiring across North America and our wider global markets.

No two weeks look the same here. You'll be sourcing and screening across a wide range of roles while also acting as a reliable advisor to our hiring managers and regional colleagues around the world. You'll be the first port of call for teams who need guidance on how to hire well, helping them plan, execute, and make great decisions.

We're a small central team with a wide remit. That means genuine ownership, broad exposure, and the kind of variety most recruiters don't get near for years.

What are the main responsibilities for this role?

• Drive proactive sourcing across North America and global markets, building targeted pipelines through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search and creative outreach

• Screen applicants and run first-stage interviews across a varied mix of roles and regions

• Keep our ATS (Teamtailor) in good shape — clean pipelines, accurate records and roles that reflect reality

• Support global colleagues with hiring planning and execution, advising on process, timelines and best practices so they can move with confidence

• Get involved in employer branding and candidate experience work — contributing to how we attract and engage talent at scale

• Work closely with the Talent Lead to keep the function running smoothly as Crimson continues to grow

What skills and experience are required?

• At least a year of in-house recruiting experience where you've owned roles properly

• Strong sourcing instincts and hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter

• A background in EdTech or a fast-growth startup (or a genuine interest in that world)

• Comfortable juggling multiple roles across different markets and time zones

• Experience with an ATS — Teamtailor knowledge is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker

• A clear communicator who takes the candidate experience seriously

Why work for Crimson?

• Rapidly growing start-up, with a flexible working environment where you will be empowered to structure how you work

• Limitless development and exposure - our internal promotions/role changes made up 33% of all recruitment last year

• $1000 individual training budget per year, we love to ‘Level Up’ (it’s one of our core values)!

• Psychologist on staff

• Insightful fireside chats and workshops to help support our high-performing and ambitious team

• Radical Candor is a feedback approach we live by

• We’re a global player with 28 markets (and growing) across the globe. Most roles have the option to work from one of our many offices or remotely!

If you're passionate about growing in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and want to work with cutting-edge technology, then we'd love to hear from you!
