EchoStar Talent Acquisition Role

This role helps transition the recruitment function from a reactive service to a proactive, sourcing-led engine. Top-of-funnel talent challenges are solved by leveraging market intelligence, outbound sourcing, and early career strategy to build scalable talent pipelines before requisitions are even posted. Acting as a key operational anchor, the role drives candidate discovery, nurtures passive talent, and executes targeted pipeline channels such as University Relations, Veteran programs, and Trade Schools to ensure a steady stream of high-quality talent.

What Success Looks Like (Objectives):

• Co-develop and execute targeted early career and university pipeline strategies, managing on-campus engagement and school teams while aligning talent programs directly with enterprise hiring needs
• Conduct strategy and intake sessions for complex or hard-to-fill roles, leveraging market intelligence, talent density data, and applicant funnel metrics to guide sourcing strategy
• Drive top-of-funnel candidate discovery by executing proactive outbound sourcing, talent landscape mapping, and targeted outreach tailored to early career talent to reduce reliance on passive applicant volume
• Co-design and launch creative pipeline initiatives, strategic campus/organization partnerships, and pilot program experiences to continuously attract, engage, and convert high-potential early career talent
• Build, segment, and actively engage passive candidate pipelines and early career talent pools within modern CRM/ATS systems
• Integrate AI-driven search aggregators, sourcing tools, and ATS workflows into daily operations to streamline discovery, automate screening, and adjust strategies dynamically

Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring):

• Proven ability to shift recruiting away from transactional posting toward proactive outbound hunting, competitor talent mapping, and market analysis
• Deep understanding of university relations, early career attraction strategies, and specialized sourcing frameworks
• Expertise in building and segmenting long-term passive candidate networks using modern ATS/CRM platforms to maintain brand engagement
• An AI-first mindset with hands-on proficiency in AI search tools, ATS platforms, and talent aggregators to optimize candidate discovery
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for continuous learning, with a track record of thriving in fast-paced or evolving talent acquisition models
• Strong strategic sourcing capabilities through a targeted approach to identifying critical talent for the organization

Additional Qualifications:

• Demonstrated success sourcing candidates through search strategies, market mapping, and talent landscape research
• Hands-on experience executing or supporting early career talent initiatives, university recruitment, or targeted pipeline channels
• Ability to utilize recruiting funnel metrics and market insights to evaluate sourcing health and adjust tactics
• Strong track record of teaming and collaboration, as well as partnering with cross-functional partners
• Hands-on proficiency with enterprise ATS tools (iCIMS preferred), CRM/sourcing aggregators, and Early Career attraction tools

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree or equivalent practical experience
• Minimum Experience: Critical experiences in corporate recruiting, sourcing, agency recruiting, or early career programs with demonstrated talent acquisition skills, sourcing capability, and tech fluency
