What I'm looking for

I seek a recruiting role where I can source cleared IT and cybersecurity talent, handle hard-to-fill requisitions, ensure compliance, and collaborate with hiring managers for high-impact DoD/IC contracts.

I am a senior technical recruiter with 17+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience placing cleared IT, engineering, cybersecurity, and program management professionals for Department of Defense and Intelligence Community contracts. I consistently source hard-to-fill candidates using Boolean search, job boards, networking, cold calling, and ATS platforms.

My background includes managing requisition portfolios, ensuring OFCCP and government compliance, and processing candidates for high-clearance and polygraph positions across CONUS and OCONUS locations. I have recruited for roles from software engineers and data scientists to ISSO/ISSM and specialized CBRN and CWMD SMEs.

I bring strong communication in English and Arabic, intermediate Turkish, advanced data-mining skills, and hands-on proficiency with ATS systems (Workday, BrassRing/Kenexa, iCIMS, Greenhouse, TALEO, HIRE, WLSE) and MS Office. I hold a Master’s in Computer Information Systems and am a US citizen.
