About the Role

This position serves as a strategic leader and mentor for a team of technical sourcers. You will be responsible for guiding junior talent, fostering a culture of excellence, and developing innovative sourcing strategies for complex, niche technical roles—particularly those requiring security clearances or specialized IT skills.

By leveraging tools such as OSINT, specialized platforms like SeekOut and Clearancejobs.com, and deep market research, you will optimize the recruitment pipeline. Beyond strategy, you will champion a positive candidate experience, engaging top talent through personalized communication and negotiation, while ensuring strict adherence to internal policies and governmental regulations like OFCCP and EEO guidelines.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for this role will undergo a comprehensive evaluation designed to assess both technical expertise and cultural fit. The process typically includes an initial screening to discuss background and experience, followed by a deeper dive into sourcing strategies and problem-solving capabilities. Final stages involve collaboration with senior leadership to ensure alignment with team goals and long-term vision.
