  • Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers by providing market insights, candidate calibration, and funnel analytics to guide decision-making.
  • Champion recruiting enablement, including interviewer calibration, pipeline forecasting, and ATS optimization (Greenhouse).
  • Leverage tooling across the stack—LinkedIn Recruiter, GoodTime, Github, and custom Boolean logic—to efficiently identify and engage passive technical talent.
  • Ensure sourcing hygiene and compliance by consistently updating pipelines and maintaining accurate data across sourcing workflows and systems.

  • Proficient in leveraging search algorithms, GitHub, Stack Overflow, advanced Boolean strings, and other sourcing tools to target highly specialized engineers.
  • Technically literate; comfortable engaging with engineers on foundational concepts like distributed systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
  • High attention to detail with strong organizational and operational rigor.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to clearly synthesize technical requirements and market feedback.

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.

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.
