Job Description
Senior Technical Recruiter — Cleared IT / GovCon
Location: Remote – within 1hour of Tysons Corner, VA
Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role
IntelliDyne, LLC is seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter to run a full-cycle recruiting desk supporting our government IT services business. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role focused on sourcing, screening, and closing cleared and clearable IT talent against a steady pipeline of open requisitions — not a purely administrative or coordination role. The ideal candidate has deep experience recruiting for GovCon environments, is comfortable owning a full requisition load independently, and can provide the reporting and resource-allocation visibility leadership needs to manage hiring against contract and program requirements.
This role is remote within 1 hour of Tysons Corner, VA – will be required to participate in onsite meetings.
What You’ll Do
Full-Desk Recruiting & Sourcing
Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of open technical requisitions, from intake through offer acceptance, including direct sourcing, not just pipeline management.
Proactively source and qualify candidates for cleared and clearable IT roles (e.g., systems engineers, network engineers, cloud/DevOps, cybersecurity, software developers, help desk/IT support, program-specific labor categories).
Screen candidates for technical fit, clearance status/eligibility, and labor-category compliance (degree level, years of specialized experience, certifications) against contract and proposal requirements.
Manage the full candidate experience: screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing.
Maintain and grow a pipeline of cleared and clearance-eligible talent ahead of anticipated contract needs, rather than recruiting reactively only after a requisition opens.
Reporting & Resource Allocation
Produce and deliver weekly recruiting reports to leadership covering requisition status, pipeline health, time-to-fill, time-to-accept, and offer-acceptance metrics.
Own resource allocation across open requisitions prioritizing and re-prioritizing req load based on contract urgency, labor-category criticality, and program staffing deadlines.
Flag hiring risks (stalled reqs, thin candidate pools, clearance bottlenecks) to leadership proactively, with recommended mitigations.
Partner with program/contract leadership to align hiring priorities with contract award timelines, ramp-up schedules, and recompete transitions.
Process & Compliance
Ensure every submission meets labor-category and contract compliance requirements before advancing a candidate.
Maintain accurate, up-to-date requisition and candidate records in the ATS.
Support offer structuring and compensation benchmarking in coordination with HR leadership.
What You Bring
5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a significant portion spent recruiting cleared IT talent within the government contracting (GovCon) sector.
Demonstrated experience recruiting against active Secret, Top Secret, and/or TS/SCI clearance requirements, including familiarity with clearance transfer, reciprocity, and sponsorship processes.
Experience supporting proposal/capture efforts with recruiting availability letters or pipeline data.
Strong direct-sourcing skills — this is a sourcing-heavy desk, not a role reliant solely on inbound applicants.
Working knowledge of federal labor category requirements and how to qualify candidates against them (degree substitutions, years of specialized vs. general experience, required certifications).
Experience managing a full requisition load independently, with a track record of meeting time-to-fill and time-to-accept targets in a competitive, tight labor market.
Comfortable producing regular, data-driven reporting for leadership and making prioritization calls across a portfolio of open reqs.
Excellent candidate management and negotiation skills, particularly around counter offers and competing bids common in the cleared talent market.
Advanced level skills Applicant Tracking Management skills, preferably with Greenhouse or similar.
Preferred
Prior experience recruiting for federal systems integrators or IT services contractors of a similar size/scope to IntelliDyne.
Familiarity with FAR/DFARS-adjacent hiring constraints (bid-ceiling pricing, proposal-locked labor categories).
Logistics
Work Location: This role is remote within 1 hour of Tysons Corner, VA – will be required to participate in onsite meetings at corporate office or client’s sites (DC metro).
Travel: Minimal and ad hoc; primarily local/regional for client or leadership meetings.
Clearance: Not required for this role, though familiarity with the clearance process is essential.
Compensation: $70k - $110k
