Steven Copeland

I am a talent sourcing specialist with proven success delivering full-cycle recruiting in cleared, high-security, and mission-critical environments. I consistently exceed hiring goals—delivering 7+ qualified profiles weekly versus a goal of 5—and reduce time-to-fill while maintaining strict compliance.

I build targeted sourcing strategies using advanced Boolean and X-ray search techniques, ATS/CRM tools, and passive candidate engagement to strengthen pipelines for federal services, intelligence, healthcare, technology, and legal sectors. I led quality assurance for a 10-person sourcing team, improving candidate data accuracy by 15% and increased underrepresented candidate pipelines by 20% through diversity-focused sourcing.

I pair metrics-driven recruiting with a strong candidate experience and employer branding focus, streamlining screening and interview coordination to support rapid, secure hires. I hold certifications in Insider Threat Awareness (DCSA) and as a Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter (AIRS).
