About The Position

Everforth ECS is seeking a remote Technical Sourcer to proactively identify, engage, and qualify candidates for technical, cleared, and program-critical roles. The role partners closely with Recruiters and hiring teams to understand requirements, develop targeted sourcing strategies, and build talent pipelines aligned with current and future program needs. This position focuses on candidate discovery and early-stage qualification rather than full lifecycle recruiting.

Requirements

Understanding of government contracting environments.
Experience identifying and engaging talent across technical disciplines, including software engineering, cloud, data science, cyber security, and related IT skill sets.
Demonstrated ability to independently source, engage, and qualify candidates for technical, cleared, or difficult-to-fill positions.
Strong sourcing capabilities across commercial and cleared platforms, with proficiency in Boolean search, market research, and passive candidate engagement.
Experience conducting candidate pre-screens and accurately documenting qualification details.
Proficiency with ATS systems, workflow compliance, and candidate tracking standards.
Excellent communication, organization, and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

Partner with Recruiters and hiring managers to understand technical expectations, labor categories, clearance requirements, competencies, and success profiles.
Develop and execute targeted sourcing strategies, including Boolean searches, passive outreach campaigns, networking, referrals, job boards, LinkedIn Recruiter, and other sourcing platforms.
Proactively identify and engage active and passive candidates for current openings, surge hiring needs, and future pipeline requirements.
Conduct initial candidate screens to assess qualifications, interest level, availability, compensation expectations, clearance status, and alignment with position requirements.
Present qualified and interested candidates to assigned Recruiters with accurate screening notes, candidate details, and recommendations for next steps.
Build and maintain talent pipelines for technical, cleared, and hard-to-fill roles in support of program forecasts and hiring priorities.
Maintain accurate ATS documentation, including real-time tracking of sourcing activity, candidate status, outreach efforts, and recruiter handoff details.
Provide market intelligence to Recruiters and hiring teams regarding talent availability, sourcing challenges, compensation trends, and competitive hiring conditions.
Support diversity sourcing strategies and creative outreach methods to expand candidate reach and strengthen pipeline quality.
Identify sourcing risks early, including candidate scarcity, clearance limitations, compensation misalignment, or low response rates, and partner with Recruiters to adjust strategy.
