🏢 About Team Carney

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. Our focus areas include custom learning development, e-learning, and strategic human capital consulting. We foster a collaborative, fully remote environment where strategic thinking meets federal compliance. We value adaptability, continuous learning, and a deep understanding of the government contracting landscape.

🌟 The Impact You'll Have

As a Senior Recruiter at Team Carney, you will be the gateway to building teams that directly support critical federal programs, ensuring we hire top-tier talent who share our passion for performance acceleration. 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.

🎯 What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

  • 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.
🧠 The "Whole Person" We're Looking For
  • Agile & Adaptable: You have the agility to pivot seamlessly between different types of requisitions—from specialized technical roles to strategic management positions.
  • Exceptional Communicator: You possess strong interpersonal skills and can build trust quickly with both hiring managers and prospective candidates.
  • Strategic Thinker: You look beyond the immediate requisition to understand long-term team dynamics and organizational goals.
  • Empathetic Listener: You evaluate candidates not just on their resumes, but on their cultural add, potential for growth, and alignment with our core values.
  • Problem Solver: You creatively navigate tight talent markets and overcome roadblocks in the hiring process with resilience.
💼 What You Bring (Qualifications)
  • Education: Bachelor’s (BS/BA) degree required.
  • Experience: 10+ years of proven experience in full-cycle recruiting.
  • Industry Expertise: Extensive experience in government contracting, with a deep understanding of federal hiring processes and compliance.
  • Clearance Expertise: Tangible experience navigating clearance verification (e.g., confirming active Secret, Top Secret, or DHS ICE Public Trust statuses), understanding the timelines associated with clearance crossover or reciprocity, and actively guiding candidates through complex federal background investigation prerequisites.
  • Tech-Savvy: Proficiency in modern recruitment tech stacks. Experience with our primary ATS, JazzHR, is a significant plus, along with innovative sourcing tools and clearance-specific job boards.
  • Forward-Thinking (AI): Knowledgeable about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the recruitment space; you lean into working with AI and are eager to leverage emerging tools to enhance sourcing, streamline operations, and improve the candidate experience.
  • Remote Work: Experience thriving and effectively managing time in a fully remote work environment.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
