Technical Recruitment Sourcer

Team CATHEXIS elevates the government contracting experience through rapid response, deep skill, and thoughtful problem-solving and communication. Our core capabilities are our top-tier program and project management, data analytics, and audit services, the backbone of which is our integrated approach to operational excellence.

Our values are centered around leading with integrity, owning the outcome, growing together, and moving with purpose in everything we do for our employees, customers, partners, and communities. We are seeking a results-driven Technical Sourcer (Contract) to provide immediate top-of-funnel support for a high-priority campaign hiring cleared AI/ML Engineers and Data Scientists. This is a sourcing-focused engagement - not full-lifecycle recruiting. Your job is to find, engage, and qualify cleared technical talent and hand warm, documented candidates to the Talent Acquisition team for interview and close. This is a 1-3 month contract engagement at 40 hours per week, performed on-site in Tysons, VA 3-4 days per week, in support of requisitions in the DMV area and Redwood City, CA, with possible extension based on performance and business need.

The ideal candidate hits the ground running - working with defined pipelines, defined tools, and defined standards - and expects their impact to be measured weekly.

Build a qualified top-of-funnel pipeline for assigned cleared technical requisitions: AI/ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and adjacent roles (software, cloud, and data engineering).

Execute direct sourcing across ClearanceJobs, LinkedIn Recruiter, Dice, Boolean, etc. Run structured outreach sequences (email, InMail, phone) and conduct initial qualification screens covering interest, clearance status, compensation expectations, and availability.

Support pre-event sourcing for scheduled hiring events (information sessions, hiring events) as directed.

log every outreach and candidate response in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) the same day, per CATHEXIS documentation standards.

Follow the CATHEXIS candidate engagement cadence and release standard, and operate within defined TA/agency pipeline-ownership lanes.

Report weekly sourcing metrics: outreach volume, response rate, qualified handoffs, and pipeline adds per requisition.

3+ years of dedicated technical sourcing experience (sourcer or sourcing-heavy recruiting role), with verifiable throughput - be prepared to speak to weekly outreach volume, response rates, and qualified-handoff numbers.

Demonstrated sourcing for AI/ML or data science talent - able to read a resume for ML frameworks, data pipelines, and model deployment signals and search on them.

Expert-level Boolean search and LinkedIn Recruiter proficiency, with disciplined ATS documentation habits (Workable a plus).

Strong written outreach - messages that get responses from passive, in-demand candidates.

Prior contract or surge sourcing engagements with fast ramp-up.

Familiarity with OFCCP-compliant sourcing and outreach documentation.

Our goal is to provide a compensation package that reflects the value you bring to our team, is competitive with national average market rates, and promotes your financial security and personal well-being. The hourly rate range for this role is $26.00 - $29.00. Performance Bonuses
