Job description

Newark, United States | Posted on 01 / 13 / 2025

The Recruiter (Talent Acquisition Specialist) is responsible for identifying, attracting, and securing the best candidates for a range of positions within our security-focused organization—from executive protection personnel to IT and administrative roles. This individual will develop effective sourcing strategies, build relationships with industry networks, and help maintain a strong pipeline of qualified candidates. The Recruiter will work closely with hiring managers, HR leadership, and departmental heads to fill critical roles swiftly and ensure the highest standards of candidate experience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively search for and engage with potential candidates via LinkedIn, job boards, professional associations, and other relevant channels.
  • Build and maintain relationships with military / veteran programs, technical schools, universities, and other talent pipelines (especially for security or tech-specific roles).
  • Develop targeted recruitment campaigns for specialized positions (e.g., VIP protection, anti-drone specialists, IT security professionals).
  • Review resumes, conduct phone / virtual screenings, and administer preliminary assessments to shortlist quality candidates.
  • Schedule and coordinate interviews (in-person, video, or panel), ensuring a smooth and timely process for both candidates and hiring managers.
  • Maintain clear communication with candidates regarding role expectations, compensation, and company culture.

Collaboration with Hiring Managers

  • Partner with department heads (e.g., Air Security, Ground Security, Information Security) to understand role requirements, position-specific qualifications, and ideal candidate attributes.
  • Provide guidance to managers on interview techniques, consistent evaluation criteria, and best practices to mitigate hiring biases.
  • Offer market insights (e.g., salary benchmarks, competitor trends) that can refine job descriptions or adjust recruitment strategies.
  • Employer Branding & Networking

  • Represent the organization at career fairs, industry events, and networking functions to elevate our employer brand—particularly in security, law enforcement, and tech communities.
  • Work with marketing and HR to create compelling job advertisements, social media posts, and recruitment collateral.
  • Gather testimonials from successful hires and longtime employees to showcase the organization's culture, growth opportunities, and unique security mission.
  • Recruitment Metrics & Reporting

  • Track and report on key performance indicators (time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, candidate acceptance rates, etc.).
  • Use data and applicant tracking systems (ATS) to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for continuous improvement in the hiring process.
  • Stay updated on labor market shifts, new sourcing tools, and best practices to enhance overall talent acquisition strategies.
  • Requirements

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 2+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in specialized or security-related fields (law enforcement, military, tech).
  • Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Taleo, Workday, Lever) and professional networking platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter).
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable interacting with candidates from entry-level to executive.
  • Excellent organizational skills with attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple requisitions simultaneously.
  • A results-driven mindset with a knack for creative sourcing and relationship-building.
  • Additional Considerations

  • Certifications (e.g., SHRM-CP, PHR, AIRS) can be advantageous.
  • Understanding of compliance requirements for hiring in sensitive or high-security roles (e.g., background checks, clearances).
  • Personal Attributes

  • Integrity & Confidentiality
  • Handles sensitive information (e.g., background checks, clearance processes) with the utmost discretion.

  • Proactive & Resourceful
  • Takes initiative in designing or improving processes that benefit the organization's mission and culture.

  • Collaborative Mindset
  • Works well with cross-functional teams—Security, Finance, Legal—to align people operations with overall strategic goals.

  • Adaptability
  • Thrives in an environment where roles and responsibilities may evolve rapidly due to emerging threats, contractual obligations, or global expansions.

    What We Offer

  • Competitive Compensation
  • Salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits tailored for security-industry professionals.

  • Professional Growth
  • Opportunities for advanced certifications, leadership development, and specialized training relevant to high-security environments.

  • Inclusive Culture
  • A diverse workforce united by a shared commitment to excellence in protecting clients worldwide.

  • Impactful Work
  • Contribute to building a team that delivers critical security services—protecting dignitaries, high-value assets, and global infrastructure.
