This role involves supporting a high-growth US Defense Tech innovator.

We are looking for a seasoned Talent Acquisition Partner specializing in Technology & Engineering talent for one of our clients, a pioneering defense tech company. They build advanced, proprietary hardware and AI/ML-powered software robotic weapon stations purpose-built for national security and defense modernization.

As they scale their physical production, this recruiter will be instrumental in building out their technology and engineering teams to push innovation.

About us...

Since 2020, we have been scaling teams for the likes of Microsoft, Mailchimp, Google, Quizlet, & Fortinet, to name a few, and are seeking an awesome TA to jump back into a super recruiting hot seat.

We’re part machine, part human, and that’s where you come in; recruiting great people doesn’t happen without great people, and it’s those people that will always make up the backbone of our business.

The role itself
