[Remote] Full-Cycle Recruiter (Early Career)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Sitreps Talent is a boutique recruiting firm specializing in high-intellect leaders for Defense Technology and Private Equity sectors. The Full-Cycle Recruiter will be responsible for screening and qualifying candidates, managing the candidate pipeline, and running outbound sourcing campaigns as needed, while receiving mentorship from the founding team.

Responsibilities

• Screen and vet inbound candidates via phone and video, assessing them against specific profile requirements for each search
• Run outbound sourcing campaigns as needed for searches with specific geographic or professional requirements
• Learn and apply our filtering criteria to evaluate candidates — assessing career trajectory, education, post-MBA rigor, leadership indicators, and cultural fit for each role
• Manage the candidate pipeline in Greenhouse, keeping data clean and statuses current
• Present qualified candidates to the founding team with clear, concise written assessments
• Coordinate candidate communication — scheduling, follow-ups, and status updates throughout the process
• Work across all active searches simultaneously, spanning defense tech, PE portfolio companies, and adjacent industries

Skills

• 1–3 years of recruiting experience at a staffing or recruiting agency — boutique agency experience preferred; you should have worked in an environment where you managed multiple searches across different clients, not exclusively in a large corporate or in-house recruiting function
• Comfort with high-volume phone and virtual screening
• Foundational outbound sourcing skills — Boolean search, LinkedIn, and a willingness to get creative when a search demands it
• Experience recruiting for operational, sales, or go-to-market roles is a plus (not primarily technical or IT recruiting)
• Excellent written and verbal English communication
• Hungry, coachable, and self-directed — you want to grow, you take feedback well, and you don't need someone watching you to stay productive
• Genuine enthusiasm for helping U.S. military veterans and respect for the defense community and its mission
• Available to work East Coast U.S. business hours, Monday through Friday
• Experience with Greenhouse ATS or a similar applicant tracking system
• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter
• Familiarity with defense, aerospace, management consulting, or PE-backed company recruiting
• Interest in or exposure to MBA-level career trajectories and post-military career paths
• Understanding of the defense/military industry and/or private equity operations — candidates who can speak this language will ramp faster and screen more credibly
• U.S. military veteran or military spouse — strongly preferred

Benefits

• Performance-based bonuses tied to qualified candidates submitted and successful placements
• Top performers earn significantly more
• Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-growing firm
