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 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 and Experience

• 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.
