[Hiring] Contract Recruiter @Pantheon

Role Description

This role owns the day-to-day mechanics of running the recruiting process for multiple client engagements.

• Manage job postings end to end, publishing, updating, and closing requisitions as they open and fill.
• Build and manage sourcing pipelines against the role-specific gate questions and rubrics defined for each requisition.
• Screen candidates against defined hard-gate criteria before advancing them to hiring-team review.
• Schedule and coordinate interviews across candidates and interview panels, including calendar logistics, confirmations, and rescheduling.
• Coordinate offer-stage logistics and keep candidates informed of their status throughout the process.

Qualifications

• 2 or more years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with independent ownership from sourcing through offer.
• Working proficiency with an applicant tracking system (e.g. Gem, Greenhouse, Lever, or comparable) for requisition management and pipeline tracking.
• Demonstrated ability to schedule and coordinate interviews at volume across multiple concurrent requisitions.
• Clear written and verbal communication with both candidates and hiring stakeholders.

Requirements

• Recruiting experience for federal contractor, healthcare, or technical/engineering roles (strongly preferred).
• Experience applying structured screening rubrics or knockout/gate criteria, rather than freeform judgment (strongly preferred).
• Experience operating without dedicated recruiting-ops support, personally owning ATS administration, sourcing, and scheduling (strongly preferred).

Disqualifiers

• No full-cycle ownership experience (sourcing-only or scheduling-only, without end-to-end requisition ownership).
• No ATS experience, or unwillingness to work within one.
• Cannot demonstrate independent judgment applying screening criteria without hand-holding on every candidate.

Terms

Ongoing, month-to-month 1099 contract engagement. Hours scale with active requisition volume. Billed directly to Pantheon, not to any client contract.

Compensation

$60,000-$85,000 annualized equivalent, based on U.S. market rates for full-cycle contract recruiters. This is equivalent to an hourly rate of $29-$41/hour (calculated on a standard 2,080-hour work year); actual pay is hourly against hours worked, given the variable, volume-driven nature of this engagement.
