ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY


IET Corporation is looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to help build and strengthen our internal recruiting function as our organization continues to grow.

This is an opportunity for someone early in their talent acquisition career who is ready to grow beyond simply posting jobs and scheduling interviews. Working closely with IET Corporation's People & Culture leadership, this individual will help develop the processes, partnerships, and talent pipelines needed to support the company's continued growth.

The Talent Acquisition Specialist will recruit for opportunities throughout the DMV region while also supporting hiring needs for projects and operations across the country and internationally, as needed. The role will also take an active part in developing IET Corporation's future workforce through ownership of our internship program and intentional relationship-building with trade schools, colleges, workforce organizations, and other talent partners.

We are not looking for someone who has everything figured out on day one. We are looking for someone who wants to learn, takes ownership, follows through, builds relationships naturally, and is excited by the opportunity to help create and continuously improve how IET Corporation attracts and hires great people.
