Oversee the full candidate experience: screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing
Proactively source and qualify candidates for cleared and clearable IT roles (e.g., systems engineers, network engineers, cloud/DevOps, cybersecurity, software developers, help desk/IT support, program-specific labor categories)
Screen candidates for technical fit, clearance status/eligibility, and labor-category compliance (degree level, years of specialized experience, certifications) against contract and proposal requirements
Maintain and grow a pipeline of cleared and clearance-eligible talent ahead of anticipated contract needs, rather than recruiting reactively only after a requisition opens
Produce and deliver weekly recruiting reports to leadership covering requisition status, pipeline health, time-to-fill, time-to-accept, and offer-acceptance metrics
