@ameliaisley
Technical recruiter specializing in cleared IT, cybersecurity, and data analytics placements.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven full lifecycle technical recruiter with deep experience placing cleared and uncleared IT professionals into mission-critical federal contracts, including cybersecurity, data analytics, and digital transformation roles. I have successfully managed sourcing, screening, onboarding, and candidate guidance while partnering with hiring managers and program teams to meet tight clearance and contract requirements.
I have placed dozens of candidates (22 placements as of Jan 1, 2025) and staffed high-priority surge task orders—placing 11 cleared professionals within two months—while training recruiters, improving TA processes, and supporting capture and proposal efforts. I thrive in fast-paced government contracting environments and focus on building talent pipelines across cloud, DevOps, AI/ML, and security domains.
