Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Agile Defense supports national security and critical civilian missions through adaptive innovation, advanced technologies, and specialized talent. The Technical Recruiter independently manages full-cycle recruiting for technical and cleared positions, builds hiring-manager relationships, maintains compliance, and leads a process-improvement project while developing toward senior portfolio ownership.
Responsibilities
- 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, clearance documentation, interview documentation) on your reqs with consistent accuracy and minimal correction needed
- Make AI part of your daily practice, and widen your pipelines. Identify and adopt at least one recurring AI-assisted efficiency in your own workflow, and be able to describe how it's changed your day-to-day work — while applying deliberate sourcing practices that widen and diversify your candidate pipelines, with specific actions you can point to
- You'll report to a Senior Technical Recruiter or Recruiting Lead and carry a caseload across the full range of technical/cleared complexity — typically 12 to 18 concurrent requisitions — as part of a broader team recruiting across DoD, Fed Civ, Homeland Security, Combatant Command, and Fourth Estate customers

- A track record of hiring managers trusting your judgment on their reqs — you're seen as a partner, not just a processor
- Experience proposing or improving something beyond your own req load, even in a small way
- Personal habits or practices around using AI tools to work more efficiently, paired with the judgment to know where automation helps and where it shouldn't touch the candidate experience
- A genuine, active interest in building more diverse candidate pipelines, with specific examples of actions you've taken, not just good intentions
