Lead Technical Sourcer

About the Team

At Maximus, our talent acquisition function operates as a strategic partner to the business, driving the delivery of critical solutions for government and commercial clients. The Technical Sourcing team is a specialized unit focused on identifying and securing top-tier technical talent, particularly for roles requiring security clearances and niche IT expertise. We foster a collaborative, high-performance environment where innovation and data-driven decision-making are central to our mission of building world-class teams.

About the Role

As a Technical Sourcing Lead, you will serve as a specialist and mentor within the discipline, guiding a team of technical sourcers to achieve exceptional outcomes. This role exists to bridge the gap between complex business needs and the global talent market, ensuring Maximus remains the employer of choice for specialized technical professionals.

In this position, you will not only manage and develop junior sourcers but also independently architect innovative sourcing strategies for the most difficult-to-fill roles. Your day-to-day involves leveraging advanced tools like OSINT, Boolean searches, and specialized platforms (e.g., SeekOut, Clearancejobs) to navigate the competitive landscape. You will analyze market trends using data insights to refine approaches, lead large-scale sourcing initiatives, and collaborate with senior leadership to align talent strategies with broader organizational goals.

Beyond strategy, you will be the face of Maximus at industry conferences and hiring events, building strong relationships with hiring managers and recruitment marketing teams to enhance our employer brand. You will ensure a positive candidate experience through transparent communication and skilled negotiation, while maintaining strict compliance with OFCCP, EEO, and affirmative action guidelines.

Hiring Process

We are committed to a fair and efficient hiring process. Candidates selected for this role will engage in a series of conversations designed to assess technical expertise, strategic thinking, and cultural fit. If you require assistance at any stage of the employment process, including accessing job postings, completing assessments, or participating in interviews, please contact People Operations at applicantaccom@maximus.com for reasonable accommodations.

We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation and are essential to our success in serving our clients.

Compensation & Benefits

Maximus offers a comprehensive total rewards package. While annual salary is a key component, our compensation is based on various factors including job location, education, experience, and market value. The role includes opportunities for short- and long-term incentives, along with a robust benefits suite featuring health insurance, life and disability coverage, a retirement savings plan, and paid time off. We are committed to pay transparency and will not use an applicant's salary history in determining compensation.
