About The Position

ROLE PURPOSE To support CyKor’s growth and contract execution by managing full-cycle recruiting for technical and key corporate roles and coordinating staffing and utilization for billable resources. This role balances day-to-day talent acquisition, staffing coordination, and utilization tracking in a GovCon environment, helping ensure the right people are placed in the right roles at the right time while maintaining a strong candidate and employee experience. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Talent Acquisition & Recruiting Manage full-cycle recruiting (intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing coordination, offer support) for technical, delivery, and key corporate roles (e.g., engineers, architects, PMs, internal IT, operations). Conduct intake/scoping sessions with hiring managers to clarify role requirements, ideal candidate profile, non-negotiables, and constraints (LCATs, salary ranges, bill rate ceilings, clearance needs, location, travel). Source candidates through multiple channels (LinkedIn, networks, referrals, job boards, industry groups, cleared-talent communities) with a focus on IT/GovCon talent in the DC/MD/VA region. Screen candidates for technical fit, cultural fit, experience, and clearance suitability (as applicable) and guide them through the interview lifecycle. Coordinate interviews and feedback loops with hiring managers and panel members; ensure a professional, timely, and consistent candidate experience. Work with leadership and Finance to prepare offer recommendations that align with internal compensation guidelines, contract constraints, and profitability targets. Maintain accurate data in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and provide basic recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline status, offer acceptance rate, source effectiveness). Build and maintain a proactive talent pipeline for recurring and high-priority roles, including cleared engineers, project managers, and architects. Support proposal and capture teams with recruiting inputs, such as staffing assumptions, recruiting plans, and letters of intent for key roles. Resource Management & Utilization Maintain a central view of all billable and key internal technical resources, including current assignments, utilization, availability, skill sets, locations, and clearance levels. Coordinate recurring staffing/resource huddles with Delivery, Engineering, and Operations to help align people to projects, manage roll-offs, and plan backfills or redeployments. Monitor bench time and escalate or recommend assignments (customer work, proposals, internal projects) to minimize idle time and support business needs. Assist in aligning internal resources and external candidates to new awards, options, task orders, and upcoming work, ensuring clarity on start dates, commitments, and contingencies. Support proposal and program teams with resource planning (LCAT mapping, resume alignment, availability assumptions, gap identification, and recruiting needs). Prepare regular utilization and staffing reports/dashboards for leadership to support decision-making and forecasting. Coordinate with People & Culture and Delivery on onboarding transitions to help ensure smooth handoff from candidate to active resource. Cross-Function Collaboration Partner with People & Culture to help ensure recruiting and staffing processes are aligned with company policies, compensation guidelines, and culture.
