Job Description

Hybrid Preferred (Remote will be considered)

About the Role

We are seeking a driven and highly organized Technical Recruiter to join our fast-paced Talent Acquisition team. In this role, you will own the full-cycle recruitment of Information Technology professionals across a range of enterprise client accounts managed through Vendor Management Systems (VMS). You will be a critical contributor to our ability to win placements in a competitive staffing environment, and your speed, precision, and candidate quality will directly impact our clients’ success. This is a high-volume role that demands urgency, expertise in IT skill sets, and mastery of VMS platforms. If you thrive in a competitive environment, love the hunt for top talent, and understand the nuances of enterprise contingent workforce programs, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for IT contract and contract-to-hire roles across multiple enterprise VMS accounts simultaneously.
• Source, screen, and submit highly qualified candidates within tight VMS submission windows to maximize interview-to-submittal ratios.
• Develop and maintain a deep pipeline of IT talent across disciplines such as software development, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data engineering, and more.
• Partner closely with hiring managers (where accessible) to understand technical requirements and refine candidate profiles.
• Navigate and optimize VMS platforms (e.g., Fieldglass, Beeline, Workday, Coupa) to ensure compliant, timely, and high-quality submissions.
• Track and report on key recruiting metrics: submission-to-interview rate, fill rate, time-to-submit, and retention.
• Negotiate candidate pay rates within client bill rate constraints while maintaining candidate satisfaction.
• Collaborate with account managers to identify opportunities, respond to urgent requisitions, and grow our footprint within existing accounts.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in the ATS/CRM at all stages of the recruiting process.
• Stay current on IT talent market trends, compensation benchmarks, and competitor activity to advise clients and strengthen candidate pitches.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience in a staffing agency or RPO environment.
• VMS experience is required — you must have hands-on experience submitting candidates and managing requisitions through enterprise VMS platforms such as SAP Fieldglass, Beeline, Workday, Coupa, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to handle high-volume requisition loads (20+ open reqs at a time) with a sense of urgency and strong organizational discipline.
• Proven track record of sourcing hard-to-fill IT roles with speed and quality.
• Strong knowledge of IT terminology, role types, and technology stacks across at least 2–3 IT disciplines.
• Experience recruiting in competitive, enterprise staffing environments with multiple vendor programs.
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search techniques, and applicant tracking systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can sell a role, handle objections, and set accurate expectations with candidates.
• Analytical mindset — comfortable reviewing your own metrics and using data to improve your approach.
• Self-starter with a competitive spirit who is motivated by performance and results.

Required Skills

• Experience in one or more specific IT verticals: software engineering, cloud/DevOps, data & analytics, or ERP systems.
• Familiarity with rate card structures and bill rate negotiation within VMS programs.
• Experience working with MSP-managed accounts.

Pay range and compensation package

• Competitive base salary + uncapped commission structure
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 3 Weeks of PTO + Paid Holidays
• Collaborative, high-performance team culture with low bureaucracy and high autonomy
• This role can be fully remote; networking events are required. Preference will be given to candidates local to Dayton and Cincinnati, OH.
