[Hiring] Recruiter @Adelphi

Role Description

We're looking for a Recruiter to own hiring end to end, working directly with our Head of Talent. Adelphi is a small, fast-moving startup building AI-native software for defense and national security customers, and we are growing across engineering and the business. You'll run full-cycle recruiting for technical and non-technical roles, from the first sourcing message to a signed offer. This is a hands-on role with real ownership from day one, and you'll have a hand in building how we hire as the company grows.

Location: Washington, DC/McLean, VA metro area but Remote within the US OK

• Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles (forward deployed engineers, software engineers, ML engineers) and non-technical roles across the business
• Source passive candidates through outbound outreach, referrals and your own network, and build pipelines for the roles we hire for on a rolling basis
• Run intro calls that tell the Adelphi story well and give candidates a clear picture of the role and the interview process
• Partner with hiring managers on intake, calibration, interview loops and timely feedback
• Keep our ATS (Ashby) accurate and current so pipeline, stage and scheduling data is something we can rely on
• Manage scheduling and candidate communication so every candidate has a great experience, whatever the outcome
• Close candidates: run the offer process with the Head of Talent and keep candidates warm through to their start date
• Help build the recruiting function: process, templates, employer brand and our referral program

Qualifications

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in-house at a startup or fast-growing company
• A track record hiring software, ML engineers & Forward Deployed Engineers, plus experience with non-technical roles across a business
• Strong sourcing skills and real comfort with cold outreach to passive candidates
• The ability to sell a role, read a candidate and close an offer
• High ownership. You run your reqs end to end and don't wait to be asked.
• Clear, warm written communication and attention to detail in everything candidate-facing
• Experience hiring for cleared roles or in defense tech is a plus
