• Develop innovative sourcing strategies that reduce reliance on external search firms while improving candidate quality and time-to-fill.
• Represent PPS and EnerSys at industry events, military transition programs, technical conferences, job fairs, and targeted networking opportunities.

• Experience recruiting within Aerospace & Defense, Government Contracting, Energy Storage, Advanced Manufacturing, Electronics, Power Systems, or other highly regulated technical industries.
• Experience supporting security-cleared or clearance-eligible talent.
• Familiarity with ITAR, government contracting, and defense industry recruiting practices.
• Military recruiting experience and established veteran talent networks.
• Strong proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, talent intelligence tools, and advanced sourcing methodologies.

• Comfortable engaging with senior engineers, technical experts, program managers, and executive leaders.
• Skilled at uncovering and attracting passive candidates who are not actively seeking new opportunities.
• Naturally curious and motivated to understand complex technologies and business challenges.
