Own end-to-end recruiting for complex and business-critical technology roles across Engineering, Cybersecurity, Big Data, Cloud, Product, Business Applications, and Technical Support.

Partner with hiring managers to understand the technology, team, and business problem behind each role and build targeted recruiting strategies.

Drive hands-on, proactive sourcing through LinkedIn Recruiter, talent mapping, referrals, networking, market research, and competitive intelligence.

Build and maintain high-quality talent pipelines for both immediate and future hiring needs.

Assess candidates for technical capability, career trajectory, motivation, and overall fit.

Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on talent availability, market trends, compensation, competitive landscape, and hiring strategy.
