趙志臯，字汝邁，蘭谿人．隆慶二年進士及第，授編修．萬曆初，進侍讀．張居正奪情，將廷杖吳中行、趙用賢．志臯偕張位、習孔教等疏救，格不上，則請以中行等疏宣付史館，居正恚．會星變考察京朝官，遂出志臯為廣東副使．居三年，再以京察謫其官．居正歿，言者交薦，起解州同知．旋改南京太僕丞，歷國子監司業、祭酒，再遷吏部右侍郎，並在南京．尋召為吏部左侍郎． Zhao Zhigao, styled Rumai, came from Lanxi. He topped the jinshi in the second year of Longqing and was appointed compiler. At the start of Wanli he became reader. When Zhang Juzheng resumed mourning while still in office and was about to have Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian beaten at court, Zhigao joined Zhang Wei, Xi Kongjiao, and others in memorializing for them. The memorials were blocked; they then asked that Wu and Zhao's memorials be proclaimed and sent to the Historiography Office. Juzheng was furious. During the stellar-portent review of capital officials Zhigao was sent to Guangdong as vice commissioner. After three years he was demoted again in the capital review. After Juzheng's death, censorate officials recommended him and he was appointed assistant prefect of Jiezhou, then Nanjing assistant director of the Ministry of Works, vice director and chancellor of the National University, and twice Right Vice Minister of Personnel—all in Nanjing. He was soon recalled as Left Vice Minister of Personnel.
