Founded in 1994, Team Carney, Inc. specializes in providing innovative knowledge solutions, performance acceleration, training, organizational development, and technology solutions primarily to Federal Government clients.

You will take the lead in sourcing, screening, and hiring for highly specialized, cleared roles, building robust pipelines for key positions like Instructional Designers, 508 Trusted Testers, and Training Managers.

Full-Cycle Recruitment: Manage the entire recruiting lifecycle from intake meetings with hiring managers to offer negotiation and onboarding.

Specialized Sourcing: Proactively source passive candidates for niche technical and strategic HR management roles within the government contracting space.

Clearance Navigation: Navigate the complexities of hiring candidates with active security clearances (e.g., Secret, Top Secret) and manage the nuances of federal background checks.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner closely with hiring managers in the e-learning and instructional design spaces, translating complex technical and clearance requirements into effective, targeted sourcing strategies.

Candidate Experience: Ensure a "white-glove" candidate experience, recognizing that the recruitment process is the first reflection of Team Carney's high standards.

Compliance & Best Practices: Maintain strict compliance with federal hiring guidelines (e.g., OFCCP) and state-specific salary transparency laws.
