  • Proven ability to develop and execute recruiting strategies that consistently drive high-quality hires across diverse roles and seniority levels.
  • Experience recruiting for technical/engineering roles as well as business-facing functions (Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and HR tech tools.
  • Experience leveraging data and analytics to optimize recruiting performance and improve hiring outcomes.
  • Excellent relationship-building skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across teams, establishing strong partnerships with hiring managers and candidates at all levels.
  • Outstanding communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
