Generalist Recruiter

Second Front SystemsWashington, DC

About The Position

Second Front Systems is seeking a metric-driven, high-agency, detail-obsessed Generalist Recruiter to enhance their talent acquisition efforts across engineering, operations, growth, mission success, and sales. This role operates at the intersection of commercial software talent and mission-driven defense work. The recruiter will be responsible for sourcing, screening, and placing candidates who meet both technical and mission-driven criteria across various functions. They will also build talent pipelines for hard-to-fill and senior roles. Key responsibilities include architecting sourcing strategies using Boolean search and LinkedIn Recruiter, managing concurrent pipelines in Ashby, assessing candidate motivation, closing offers, and collaborating with hiring managers to ensure efficient pipeline progression, early detection of late-stage drop-offs, and improvement in time-to-fill and offer-acceptance metrics. The ideal candidate will own full-cycle recruiting with minimal supervision, adapt to shifting evaluation criteria, source passive talent at scale, qualify fit under ambiguity, negotiate offers confidently, and utilize Ashby for pipeline configuration, reporting, and workflow automation, adjusting sourcing strategies based on metrics. This role is a key partner to hiring managers, ensuring searches remain active, surfacing high-signal candidates, and maintaining a positive candidate experience while pushing back on unrealistic specifications and incorporating market intelligence into sourcing strategies.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience owning concurrent searches across technical and commercial functions.
  • Hands-on fluency with Ashby or comparable ATS — pipeline configuration, reporting, and workflow automation, not data entry.
  • Recruiting experience across Engineering, Ops, Growth, Mission Success, and Sales — vocabulary and evaluation criteria shift with the role.
  • Closer's instinct — reads candidate motivation, negotiates offers confidently, identifies late-stage drop-off risk.
  • Metrics-driven approach — tracks time-to-fill, source yield, offer-acceptance rate and adjusts search strategy in real time, not post-mortem.
  • Extend and negotiate offers, partnering with compensation/HR as needed to close candidates.
  • Startup or high-growth company experience — comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and building as you go rather than following an established playbook.
  • Familiarity with niche or cleared talent pools (e.g., security clearance requirements, specialized technical skill sets).
  • Candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs: DC/Maryland/Virginia, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC, Denver/Colorado Springs, CO, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.

Responsibilities

  • Source high-signal candidates across Engineering, Ops, Growth, Mission Success, and Sales through LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and passive outreach.
  • Govern 8–15 concurrent requisitions end-to-end from intake through offer close, preventing pipeline stagnation on any single req.
  • Synchronize with hiring managers across functions to define role requirements, calibrate candidate standards, and maintain tight feedback loops.
  • Architect Ashby as your system of record, keeping pipelines, stages, and candidate data clean and current.
  • Orchestrate candidate experience that holds top talent engaged through every interview round and maintains responsiveness.
  • Mitigate cultural misalignment by representing 2F's mission authentically at every candidate touchpoint from initial outreach through final offer.
  • Assess hiring manager specs into sourcing Boolean and screening rubrics, catching over-specification early and pushing back on unrealistic timelines before pipeline risk compounds.
  • Synchronize feedback loops across concurrent searches — consolidating hiring manager input, candidate signals, and market intelligence into weekly pipeline decisions that keep offers moving and prevent late-stage drop-off.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
  • 401(k) with a 3% company contribution
  • Comprehensive wellness benefits, including a One Medical membership, mental health resources, family planning support, and more
  • Equity incentive plan
  • New hire technology and home office stipend
  • Annual professional development stipend
  • Flexible paid time off, plus all federal holidays
  • Generous parental leave
  • Flexible remote work opportunities
