Role Description

As our Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll play a key role in finding and hiring talented people for some of our most important engineering and technical positions.

This is a part-time (no more than 20 hours/week, on average), fully remote position with plenty of interaction and collaboration with our Talent Acquisition team, hiring managers, candidates, and executive leadership.

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for engineering, technical, and other specialized positions.
• Develop creative sourcing strategies to find both active and passive candidates, particularly for difficult-to-fill cleared positions.
• Build and maintain relationships with candidates and develop talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
• Partner with hiring managers and leadership to understand hiring needs, priorities, and the type of person who will be successful in each role.
• Conduct candidate screening and interviews, assess qualifications, and provide thoughtful recommendations to hiring managers.
• Coordinate interviews, feedback, dispositions, offers, and other activities throughout the hiring process.
• Use LinkedIn, clearance-focused job boards, professional networks, employee referrals, and other resources to identify talent.

• Stay informed on recruiting trends and the cleared engineering and technical talent market.
