Senior Corporate Recruiter (Proposals)

We are seeking a proactive and driven Senior Corporate Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team with a primary focus on proposal-based recruiting. This role will support identifying and engaging qualified candidates for key proposal efforts across technical and cleared disciplines. When proposal activity slows, the recruiter will shift to support hiring for funded positions. This role is adding to a dynamic recruiting team based in Charleston, SC and will operate in a hybrid work environment.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You should be coachable, a team player, and bring a strong sense of urgency to your work. Managing multiple competing priorities effectively with a strong attention to detail is essential for success in this role.

Partnering with capture and proposal teams to understand staffing requirements for new business opportunities
• Building talent pipelines for anticipated contract awards, particularly within engineering, IT, and cleared labor categories
• Sourcing, screening, and presenting qualified candidates for proposal roles under tight deadlines
• Assisting with writing and posting clear, compelling job descriptions aligned with labor categories and contract requirements
• Maintaining accurate and timely documentation within our Applicant Tracking System (iCIMS)
• Collaborating and consulting with hiring managers, program teams, and internal stakeholders on talent strategy and timelines
• Managing multiple requisitions and competing priorities with a strong sense of urgency and attention to detail
• Pivoting between proposal and funded recruiting efforts based on business needs
• Participating in regular recruiting meetings to share pipeline updates, successes, challenges, and recommendations
• Staying up-to-date on recruiting best practices, especially in cleared and government contracting environments
• Contributing to continuous improvement efforts in sourcing, candidate experience, and employer branding
• Developing and maintaining professional relationships with college, university, and community college placement offices as well as relevant professional organizations
• Performing other duties as assigned: recruiters often wear many hats and may be asked to support various initiatives as business needs evolve
