This opportunity is ideal for an independent recruiter, recruiting consultant, or experienced talent acquisition professional looking for approximately 20 hours of additional work per week.

• Proactively source and recruit qualified candidates for specialized government contracting positions.
• Identify passive candidates through LinkedIn, professional networks, Boolean searches, and recruiting databases.
• Recruit for technical, engineering, facilities management, and operations positions, including management-level roles.
• Conduct initial candidate screenings to assess qualifications, experience, interest, and availability.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates.
• Present screened candidates to the hiring team and coordinate next steps.
• Provide regular recruiting activity updates, candidate submissions, and pipeline reports.
• Work independently to meet urgent recruiting priorities.

• Existing recruiting tools, sourcing databases, LinkedIn Recruiter access, or established candidate networks.
• Experience working as an independent recruiter or recruiting consultant.

Who We're Looking For

We need an experienced recruiter who knows how to find qualified candidates, engage people who are already employed, and move candidates through the hiring process.

The ideal candidate already has established recruiting tools and sourcing methods, understands the Southern California talent market, and can take ownership of difficult searches with minimal supervision.
