Full Cycle Recruiter
About the role
ICON is at an inflection point - scaling hiring across manufacturing, software, robotics, and construction while rebuilding recruiting around the discipline of the best search firms in the world. We are looking for a Full Cycle Recruiter to be a driving force behind that build: a recruiter who owns searches end-to-end and closes the talent that determines what ICON becomes.
This is a general-interest posting - we are always looking to meet exceptional full-cycle recruiters. This is a role for a closer. You will own your requisitions from first search to signed offer - setting the req strategy, running the market, sourcing and assessing talent independently, and guiding candidates through a high-stakes decision - with the autonomy of a search professional and a senior TA Partner as your strategic sounding board, not your supervisor.
Responsibilities
- Own assigned requisitions end-to-end, partnering with a TA Partner on strategy and success criteria, then executing autonomously from search through offer.
- Set and run the req-level search strategy — channels, target companies, outreach, and messaging — and adapt it as the market responds.
- Document sourcing plans with clear deliverables, timelines, and metrics, and maintain data hygiene and process standards from the CoE playbook.
- Source and engage passive candidates independently across platforms and networks; the role is self-sufficient on sourcing, with no dedicated Sourcer attached.
- Conduct In-depth Screens Assessing Qualifications, Motivations, And Fit.
- Prepare candidate summaries and scorecards, and present them to the TA Partner with clear rationale.
- Manage candidate relationships across the full lifecycle and own candidate experience through offer.
- Synthesize candidate feedback and market signals into insights for the TA Partner, and bring problems with proposed solutions.
- Support business relationship management at the TA Partner's direction, coordinating with hiring leaders and Total Rewards on offers.
- Use AI to compress the workflow — screen prep, summary and scorecard drafting, candidate research, and interview scheduling.
- Provide guidance to Sourcing Recruiters on shared searches.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience — in-house, agency, or executive search — including independent ownership of requisitions from sourcing through offer.
- Demonstrated self-sufficiency sourcing passive candidates without dedicated sourcing support.
- Strong candidate assessment skills and a track record of presenting calibrated slates with clear rationale.
- Proficiency with an applicant tracking system and modern sourcing platforms.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
Skills
- 8+ years of experience with search-firm or executive-search training and methodology.
- Experience recruiting technical or specialized roles — engineering, software, robotics, skilled trades, or construction / AEC.
- Hands-on use of AI recruiting tooling for screening, scorecards, and scheduling.
- Experience operating within a structured recruiting playbook or Center of Excellence model.
