Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Second Front Systems is a public-benefit software company that accelerates secure software development and deployment across government and regulated networks. The Generalist Recruiter will own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, operations, growth, mission success, and sales, managing concurrent pipelines, sourcing passive talent, coordinating with hiring managers, and closing offers. The role will also use Ashby and recruiting metrics to improve pipeline velocity, candidate experience, time-to-fill, and offer acceptance.
Responsibilities
- Source high-signal candidates across Engineering, Ops, Growth, Mission Success, and Sales through LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and passive outreach
- Govern 8–15 concurrent requisitions end-to-end from intake through offer close, preventing pipeline stagnation on any single req
- Synchronize with hiring managers across functions to define role requirements, calibrate candidate standards, and maintain tight feedback loops
- Architect Ashby as your system of record, keeping pipelines, stages, and candidate data clean and current
- Orchestrate candidate experience that holds top talent engaged through every interview round and maintains responsiveness
- Mitigate cultural misalignment by representing 2F's mission authentically at every candidate touchpoint from initial outreach through final offer
- Assess hiring manager specs into sourcing Boolean and screening rubrics, catching over-specification early and pushing back on unrealistic timelines before pipeline risk compounds
- Synchronize feedback loops across concurrent searches—consolidating hiring manager input, candidate signals, and market intelligence into weekly pipeline decisions that keep offers moving and prevent late-stage drop-off
Skills
- 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience owning concurrent searches across technical and commercial functions
- Hands-on fluency with Ashby or comparable ATS. Pipeline configuration, reporting, and workflow automation — not data entry

- Extend and negotiate offers, partnering with compensation/HR as needed to close candidates
- Startup or high-growth company experience — comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and building as you go rather than following an established playbook
- Familiarity with niche or cleared talent pools (e.g., security clearance requirements, specialized technical skill sets)
