Cook Systems is building an AI-powered recruiting engine designed to revolutionize how we source and deliver talent. As our first AI Operator, you’ll be the critical link between Maayu (our AI recruiting partner), Greenhouse (our ATS), and client-specific job board platforms—actively supporting integration, data flow, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
This role is uniquely challenging, highly autonomous, and demands persistence. You’ll be navigating complex problems, thoroughly testing integrations, and proactively communicating with internal teams and external partners. Expect ambiguity and constant problem-solving. Success here means you’re tenacious, self-driven, and genuinely enjoy overcoming technical and operational roadblocks.
If you’re excited by the idea of directly impacting a pioneering AI initiative, and you’re motivated by solving real-world problems at the intersection of recruiting, technology, and business operations, this is your role.
What You’ll Do- AI, ATS, and Job Board Integrations: Actively manage, test, troubleshoot, and optimize integrations between Maayu, Greenhouse, and external client job boards. Handle edge-cases, manual inputs, and scenarios where automated integration falls short.
- Collaboration & Feedback: Regularly interact with the external Maayu team to report issues, recommend enhancements, and provide operational feedback to continuously improve AI accuracy and performance.
- Operational Monitoring & Reporting: Track and analyze key performance indicators (submittal-to-interview, interview-to-hire, recruiter productivity), creating clear dashboards or reports that pinpoint bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
- Process Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities for streamlining recruiting workflows, data management, and integration processes. Suggest actionable solutions and help implement improvements in collaboration with internal stakeholders.
- Work Autonomously & Navigate Ambiguity: Independently own your day-to-day work, manage priorities, and navigate complex scenarios without step-by-step guidance.
- Creative Problem Solver: You enjoy navigating roadblocks, impasses, and complex scenarios by proactively identifying solutions and alternatives.
- Tenacious Tester: You thoroughly test systems and integrations and persistently troubleshoot until problems are resolved—you’re driven by fixing things and making them work.
- AI & Technology Enthusiast: You have genuine interest and practical experience using AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or similar large language models, particularly for workflow assistance or problem-solving.
- Systematic & Detail-Oriented: You naturally structure information clearly, manage complex data, and maintain organized processes—especially around ATS tools like Greenhouse (experience helpful but not mandatory).
- Strong Communicator: You’re comfortable communicating proactively and clearly with internal teams and external partners, escalating issues thoughtfully and accurately.
- Adaptive & Self-Reliant: You thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and limited direct oversight.
- Bonus Experience: Familiarity with automation tools (Zapier, Airtable, etc.), browser automation platforms, or basic scripting and data management (JSON, Excel).
- The job will be genuinely challenging—expect ambiguity, rapidly evolving priorities, and complex problems without straightforward answers.
- You’ll regularly face operational, technical, and workflow issues requiring proactive problem-solving.
- Your role will evolve quickly as the AI recruiting system matures, and you must adapt flexibly.
- However, you’ll receive close support from leadership, external teams, and resources to help you succeed.
- Extensive exposure to AI recruiting technologies and workflows.
- Significant opportunity to grow into increasingly impactful operational or technical roles.
- Hands-on experience integrating complex systems, optimizing workflows, and improving operational efficiency.
- Direct collaboration with senior executives and external AI experts.
- Career-defining experience and skills
- Workplace Setting: Hybrid #LI-Hybrid
- Job Type: Full-Time
- Seniority Level: Associate
- Job Function: Information Technology

What We Do
We have nearly 30 years of experience, and our bent toward contrarian thought brings a refreshing perspective. The combination of these unique qualities empowers us to offer an approach to developing and delivering talent that is truly transformational.
We don’t resist change; we embrace it as a continual way of life. Informed by a reverence for the history of the technology industry and an in-depth knowledge of its progression, we are able to capitalize on both timeless principles and new ideas. Rather than settling into the grooves on the path most traveled, we plot our own course.
Cook’s approach is transformational, not transactional. We are passionate about investing in people, training up and tracking down the best of the best — not just on paper, but in real life, making the solutions we provide sustainable.
Through our FastTrack’d program, team-delivered solutions and culture of internal growth, we have established a unique way of doing business — one that values people over placement, creating genuine partnership with our clients and candidates.
The philosophy of the transformational approach:
- We try new ideas.
- We ask questions — even the tough ones. They create a path to understanding.
- We believe who you are is ultimately more valuable than what you do.
The transformational approach at work:
- We equip talent though FastTrack’d with more than just technical skills, investing in personal character and integrity as central elements of being an excellent, sustainable candidate.
- We welcome change, even within our own organization. We’ve transitioned our own internal tools onto an AWS platform with automated testing capability, utilizing dev/ops construct and agile development methodologies.
- We reimagined the educational framework of FastTrack’d by shaping it into modules, allowing for client involvement in the final product while preserving the integrity of the proven training model.
