Guided by our leadership vision of valuing people, embracing agility, and fostering growth, we cultivate an innovative culture that empowers you to achieve your full potential.

Job Description:

Parsons is looking for an amazingly talented Federal Proposal Recruiter to join our team! In this role you will lead full-lifecycle pre-award recruiting activities for federal government contract proposals mostly supporting the defense and intelligence communities.

Candidates located in the Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., or Maryland area are preferred, as this position may periodically require in-person meetings, hiring events, and other business activities.

What You'll be Doing

  • Own the full life-cycle pre-award recruiting activities in support of federal proposals, from initial opportunity identification through contract award and transition to the funded recruiting team.
  • Develop and execute recruiting strategies for technical and non-technical positions.
  • Translate job requirements, contract labor categories, security requirements, and customer staffing needs into targeted sourcing and screening plans.
  • Build and maintain reusable talent pipelines aligned with Parsons’ growth areas.
  • Maintain a skills inventory and candidate pipeline for cleared and other scarce technical talent.
  • Source, assess, and engage candidates through cleared recruiting networks, professional associations, universities, veteran programs, employee referrals, passive-candidate outreach, and other targeted channels.
  • Partner with proposal managers, business development, HR and recruiting leadership to define and support proposal requirements, staffing timeliness and anticipated awards.
  • Screen candidates against technical qualifications, contract labor-category requirements, education, experience, certifications, and security-clearance criteria.
  • Coordinate interviews, selection activities, background requirements, and hiring approvals.
  • Brief TA and HR leadership on program staffing status, pipeline health, staffing risks, and recommended mitigation actions.
  • Identify potential staffing gaps and proactively develop mitigation strategies to address talent availability, clearance requirements, geographic constraints, and competitive market conditions.
  • Maintain accurate and timely candidate and requisition information in Workday and related recruiting systems.
  • Ensure recruiting activities comply with applicable employment laws, company policies, contract requirements, and information-handling procedures.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of proposal recruiting processes.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field with at least 5 years of proposal recruiting experience, or at least 9 years of relevant recruiting experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Experience supporting proposal-related recruiting, pre-award staffing, capture activities within the defense, aerospace, intelligence, federal IT, construction and engineering, or government consulting organizations.
  • Familiarity with federal proposal development, capture management, RFP requirements, staffing volumes and key personnel evaluation criteria.
  • Demonstrated success recruiting technical and/or niche professionals in a high-volume, fast-paced government contracting or consulting environment.
  • Experience recruiting candidates for positions requiring Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, or other sensitive security clearances.
  • Familiarity with government-contract labor categories, contract-specific qualifications, customer staffing requirements, and personnel ramp-up timelines.
  • Proven experience sourcing candidates through cleared recruiting networks, professional associations, university and veteran pipelines, employee referrals, and passive-candidate engagement.
  • Ability to interpret technical resumes and assess candidates against requirements.
  • Knowledge of U.S. employment laws, equal employment opportunity requirements, and applicable recruiting compliance obligations.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop compensation-informed offers and negotiate effectively using internal guidance and external market data.
  • Strong communication, business acumen, organizational, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, meet time-sensitive staffing objectives, and operate independently.
  • Proficiency with Application Tracking Systems (ATS), Microsoft Office Suite, and recruiting/sourcing tools.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret Clearance.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

  • Experience improving pre-award to post-award recruiting processes.
  • Workday experience highly preferred.
  • Active Secret Clearance.

Security Clearance Requirement:

None

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
