About The Position

The Lead Recruiter is a senior-level, non-supervisory member of the Recruiting team who performs full-cycle recruitment and provides operational guidance, recruitment compliance oversight, reporting, and workflow coordination. The role sits between Recruiter and Recruiting Supervisor and serves as a first point of escalation for routine recruitment matters. It independently approves Recruiter checklists for candidate clearance and confirmation, conducts recruitment file audits, supports job description management and non-competitive personnel changes, and contributes to process improvement. The Lead Recruiter provides day-to-day procedural guidance to Recruiters and the HR Recruiting Assistant, but has no direct supervisory authority, including authority over hiring, discipline, or performance evaluations. The role requires maintaining the confidentiality of data, records, and information.
