• Own the full life-cycle pre-award recruiting activities in support of federal proposals, from initial opportunity identification through contract award and transition to the funded recruiting team.
• Develop and execute recruiting strategies for technical and non-technical positions.
• Translate job requirements, contract labor categories, security requirements, and customer staffing needs into targeted sourcing and screening plans.
• Build and maintain reusable talent pipelines aligned with Parsons’ growth areas.
• Maintain a skills inventory and candidate pipeline for cleared and other scarce technical talent.
• Source, assess, and engage candidates through cleared recruiting networks, professional associations, universities, veteran programs, employee referrals, passive-candidate outreach, and other targeted channels.
• Partner with proposal managers, business development, HR and recruiting leadership to define and support proposal requirements, staffing timeliness and anticipated awards.
• Screen candidates against technical qualifications, contract labor-category requirements, education, experience, certifications, and security-clearance criteria.
• Coordinate interviews, selection activities, background requirements, and hiring approvals.
• Brief TA and HR leadership on program staffing status, pipeline health, staffing risks, and recommended mitigation actions.
• Identify potential staffing gaps and proactively develop mitigation strategies to address talent availability, clearance requirements, geographic constraints, and competitive market conditions.
• Maintain accurate and timely candidate and requisition information in Workday and related recruiting systems.
• Ensure recruiting activities comply with applicable employment laws, company policies, contract requirements, and information-handling procedures.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of proposal recruiting processes.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field with at least 5 years of proposal recruiting experience, or at least 9 years of relevant recruiting experience in lieu of a degree.
• Experience supporting proposal-related recruiting, pre-award staffing, capture activities within the defense, aerospace, intelligence, federal IT, construction and engineering, or government consulting organizations.
• Familiarity with federal proposal development, capture management, RFP requirements, staffing volumes and key personnel evaluation criteria.
• Demonstrated success recruiting technical and/or niche professionals in a high-volume, fast-paced government contracting or consulting environment.
• Experience recruiting candidates for positions requiring Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, or other sensitive security clearances.
• Familiarity with government-contract labor categories, contract-specific qualifications, customer staffing requirements, and personnel ramp-up timelines.
• Proven experience sourcing candidates through cleared recruiting networks, professional associations, university and veteran pipelines, employee referrals, and passive-candidate engagement.
• Ability to interpret technical resumes and assess candidates against requirements.
• Knowledge of U.S. employment laws, equal employment opportunity requirements, and applicable recruiting compliance obligations.
• Demonstrated ability to develop compensation-informed offers and negotiate effectively using internal guidance and external market data.
• Strong communication, business acumen, organizational, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, meet time-sensitive staffing objectives, and operate independently.
• Proficiency with Application Tracking Systems (ATS), Microsoft Office Suite, and recruiting/sourcing tools.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret Clearance.
