Recruiter — Federal Technical Staffing

Location: Houston, TX (Hybrid) Employment Type: Full-time Travel: Minimal

About Resolute / Key Talent

Resolute Solutions delivers automation, AI, and enterprise technology services to the Department of Defense and federal agencies. Our success depends entirely on the talent we place — both for our own team and for our clients.

Key Talent is our staffing and recruiting arm, operating as a standalone brand while serving as the talent engine for Resolute's growth. We place technical professionals into cleared, high-demand roles where the right person makes a mission-critical difference.

This is a revenue-generating, high-velocity environment. If you thrive on influence, competition, and closing — not just filling seats — you'll fit here.

Role Overview

This role exists to move fast, work smart, and never let a good candidate sit idle. You will own a high-volume requisition portfolio spanning cleared federal IT, enterprise systems, and automation roles — building candidate pipelines from scratch, managing outreach at scale, and closing candidates who have options.

The right person for this role has energy, ambition, and a natural instinct for connecting with people. You know how to pitch something you believe in. You follow up without being told. You find a way to yes before you consider no. If you've worked in a fast-paced, goal-driven environment before and found that recruiting felt like a natural fit — this role was built for you.

This is not a passive posting-and-waiting role. You will be building pipelines, running outreach campaigns, and leveraging AI and automation tools to operate at a volume most solo recruiters can't sustain. You will collaborate with a close-knit recruiting team while managing your own book of requisitions with full ownership.

What You Will Deliver

• Active, qualified candidate pipelines for a rotating portfolio of federal technical requisitions
• High-volume outreach campaigns executed through LinkedIn and ATS platforms, with AI tools used to maximize efficiency and personalization
• Screened, submission-ready candidates — fully vetted and matched to client requirements before they ever reach a hiring manager
• Accurate, real-time candidate tracking across all active reqs — your data reflects reality at all times
• Consistent daily and weekly activity metrics that compound into placements, not just effort
• A growing network of cleared technical professionals you can activate on demand

Growth Path

Early (0–6 months): Learn the client landscape, requisition types, and internal workflows. Build your candidate pipeline from the ground up and hit activity targets while developing sourcing instincts.

Growth (6–18 months): Expand requisition ownership, develop specialization in one or more technical domains (ERP, SAP, automation, cybersecurity), and take on more client-facing activity.

Future Roles: Senior Recruiter, Recruiting Lead, Account Manager, Talent Acquisition Manager.

Required Qualifications

• 1–3 years of professional experience in recruiting, sales, account management, or a role requiring consistent outreach and relationship development
• U.S. Citizen
• Demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of concurrent activity without losing quality or urgency
• Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a compelling outreach message and hold a confident phone screen
• Comfort working in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and responsiveness is non-negotiable
• Openness to learning new tools and workflows quickly — this team runs lean and leverages technology to punch above its weight

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter or LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Familiarity with ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Lever, or similar)
• Hands-on use of AI writing or automation tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) to streamline workflow
• Prior exposure to federal staffing, cleared candidate populations, or technical recruiting
• Track record of meeting or exceeding measurable performance goals

This Role Is / Is Not

• This is not a passive recruiting role — you own your pipeline and you build it daily
• This is not a role for someone who needs detailed direction on every task
• This is not limited to candidates with a traditional HR background — drive and adaptability matter more than a specific title history
• This role is designed to scale with you — the more you build, the more responsibility you earn
• This role is highly automated-forward — if there's a smarter way to do something, we want you to find it

Why Join Us

Most recruiting roles put you inside a large team processing reqs you never fully own. Here, you will have a real portfolio, real autonomy, and the tools to operate at a level that would be impossible without automation. You will develop expertise in cleared federal hiring — one of the most durable and in-demand niches in the staffing industry — and you'll grow with a team that rewards output, not optics.
