• Manage candidate pipelines, interview scheduling, and communication in Ashby, and keep candidate records accurate and up to date.

• Serve as the main point of contact for candidates and hiring managers, keep them informed at every stage, and deliver a positive candidate and hiring manager experience.

• Partner with HR to move selected candidates to the offer stage, and share candidate and market insights to inform offers.

• Contribute ideas to improve recruiting processes and employer branding.

Basic Qualifications

• 3 to 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years recruiting for technical roles such as cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, or IT.

• Enough technical fluency to discuss technologies, certifications, and role requirements with candidates and hiring managers.

• Experience recruiting for cleared positions in the federal or government contracting space. (An active clearance is not required for this role.)

• Experience using a modern applicant tracking system.

• Ability to manage multiple open roles independently and prioritize in a fast-paced environment.

• Strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience with Ashby.

• Experience as a sole or lead in-house recruiter.
