Technical Recruiter Full Time

About the role

You will be critical to building the team we need to impact these events. Defense startups are unique in that a small number of highly qualified individuals can make a disproportionate impact on the business, not just in leadership roles but also in engineering and customer-facing roles. You will help hunt for and bring in top performers on key engineering roles across the company. The sourcing and recruitment process often takes creativity to find and close these great candidates, and out-of-the-box thinking is highly encouraged.

We’re a small team of ~200 mission-driven people. We’re highly motivated to help improve the tech available to solve national security issues, and we’re looking for people who are similarly motivated. By joining our small but mighty team, you’ll have a chance to have outsized influence on the process, culture, and norms for recruiting at Vannevar and help us serve our important national security mission. 

What you'll do

• Conduct full lifecycle recruiting for our technical roles to help build our engineering team with particular emphasis on sourcing senior engineering talent across multiple disciplines.   
• Work with hiring managers to define the hiring requirements and the interview process for new roles. 
• Develop proactive and creative sourcing strategies. 
• Drive process improvement and instill recruiting best practices across our teams and hiring managers. 
• Proactively communicate and coordinate with candidates, hiring managers, recruiters, and other teammates to create a world class candidate experience.  
• Effectively prioritize, organize, and manage the pipelines for multiple concurrent openings. 
• Operate with a sense of urgency.

What we’re looking for 

• 5+ years of recruiting experience 
• 3+ years of recruiting experience for a tech or high growth start-up 
• 2+ years of recruiting in the defense industry or an adjacent industry
• Full lifecycle recruiting experience, including various interview formats and methodologies
