• Grow a network of experienced professionals with specialized experience, and identify people whose experience is rooted in CMS, VA, DHA, and other health agencies even when no current opening exists.
• Map talent against Commence's growth strategy and active pipeline, flagging candidates who align with where the company is heading, not just where it is today.

• Support proposal staffing by quickly identifying named or contingent candidates against solicitation requirements on proposal timelines.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and pipeline reporting so the Growth Team has visibility into bench depth.

• Minimum of 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a meaningful share spent sourcing applicants.

• Working knowledge of federal labor categories, security clearances, and the qualification language that appears in solicitations and PWS documents.
• Ability to read a requirement, translate it into a candidate profile, and screen accurately enough that hiring managers trust the shortlist.
