Why This Role Exists

Technical Recruiter is the seat where a recruiter proves they can run the entire tactical recruiting process — sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing — across the full range of technical and cleared requisitions, no matter the complexity. Agile Defense needs recruiters who can be handed anything in the caseload and deliver, while they build the judgment, stakeholder trust, and process ownership that portfolio-level seniority requires. This is a developmental seat on the way to Senior Technical Recruiter: you can do the work — all of it — but you're not yet accountable for a full portfolio of senior stakeholders or for mentoring others. That comes next.

Performance Objectives

• Independently run the full recruiting toolkit. Within 90 days, manage a caseload of full-cycle requisitions across the full range of technical and cleared complexity — sourcing, screening, interviewing, negotiating, and closing — with only light oversight from a Senior Technical Recruiter or Recruiting Lead
• Build real clearance fluency, including your first higher-tier searches. Within 6 months, be fully fluent explaining the clearance process
• Own stakeholder relationships on your reqs. Build direct, trusted working relationships with the hiring managers on your caseload — providing market feedback, pipeline updates, and honest guidance without needing a more senior recruiter to translate for you
• Take ownership of a small project. Lead at least one defined project or initiative beyond your own req load per year — for example, piloting a new sourcing channel, refining a screening guide, or improving one piece of the intake process — from proposal through completion
• Maintain compliance accuracy independently. Handle all compliance requirements (EEO/OFCCP
