Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree and at least 5 years of recruiting experience, including at least 2 years in government contracting

Experience recruiting for cleared contracts, including TS/SCI and Full Scope Poly candidates

Hands-on experience sourcing on cleared recruiting platforms such as ClearanceJobs, along with an applicant tracking system, including using recruiting data for reporting

Strong organizational skills, with the ability to balance competing priorities across multiple programs and pursuits

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with people at all levels of leadership
