  • Use AI to accelerate market research, talent mapping, sourcing, and personalized candidate engagement
  • Build proactive pipelines across technology, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and adjacent industries
  • Assess candidates using structured, consistent practices focused on expertise, leadership, motivation, and organizational alignment
  • Apply AI, automation, and recruiting data to identify trends, improve workflows, and address pipeline risks
  • Drive hiring processes with urgency, resolving bottlenecks and maintaining stakeholder accountability
  • Provide market intelligence and constructively challenge requirements that may limit hiring outcomes
  • Lead candidate engagement, complex offer negotiations, and closing strategies
  • Deliver a personalized candidate experience while maintaining ATS accuracy, compliance, and operational rigor
  • Pilot emerging AI capabilities and translate successful use cases into responsible, repeatable team practices
  • Mentor recruiters and sourcers on G&A hiring, sourcing strategy, and AI-enabled recruiting workflows

  • Experience independently leading complex, senior-level searches from intake through offer acceptance
  • Demonstrated ability to advise senior executives and influence hiring decisions using data and market expertise
  • Hands-on experience using AI, automation, and recruiting technology to improve quality, speed, and productivity
  • Ability to identify practical AI use cases and turn them into scalable recruiting workflows
  • Strong analytical instincts and experience translating talent data into actionable recommendations
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and consultative partnership skills
  • Understanding of responsible AI practices, including privacy, confidentiality, bias mitigation, and human oversight
