Recruiting and Onboarding Specialist

Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where talented people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The Role

Agile Six is looking for a dynamic Recruiting and Onboarding Specialist to join our self-managed, fully remote team. We are seeking someone who thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment to assist primarily with recruiting and onboarding while also supporting the overall employee experience and people operations of the organization. Our ideal candidate understands full life cycle recruiting for technology companies, but is eager to do things differently in order to create better outcomes for our teams, and ultimately, the people who use government services. We are looking for a teammate who is empathetic, equity-focused, and mission/values driven to attract and retain like-minded individuals. While the primary focus of this role will be tactical (recruiting and onboarding), we’re looking for someone who can nurture trust-based relationships, focus on team outcomes, and thrive as part of a cross-functional team committed to putting people first.

Our ideal candidate is passionate about creating excellent experiences for candidates, colleagues, and partners, and working in an environment that emphasizes trust, wholeness, and autonomy. We are committed to a transparent and equitable hiring strategy that will foster an ecosystem of diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We are looking for someone ready to jump in and advance our mission and values through recruiting, hiring, and onboarding.

Our Approach 

This is not a typical people ops position, and we are not seeking to fill it with someone who is interested in working in traditional ways. At Agile Six: 

• We cover many areas as a lean, cross-functional team (you might see yourself working on screening, benefits, DEI, swag, or our website). We believe great things happen when we find the intersection between our individual strengths and the organization's needs, and then sense and respond within that space.
• We do not set or pursue growth targets. Instead, we seek out partnerships and work where we can create the best outcomes for users of government services. 
• We do not negotiate salaries or pay commission to anyone on our team. Instead, we focus on equal pay for equal work and shared responsibility for outcomes.  
• We do not believe that “any revenue is good revenue.” Instead, we pursue work where we can deliver better outcomes for people, and we work hard to hire Sixers who share our purpose and values. We seek to build long-term relationships with Sixers built on trust, wholeness, and shared purpose. To do so, we prioritize empathy, emotional intelligence, and clear communication.
• We don’t overly rely on process. We believe traditional organizational practices often lead to misaligned incentive structures and a false sense of security at the expense of wholeness and outcomes. Instead, we listen, seek to understand the needs of our clients, partners, and teams, and then sense and respond.
• We really care about what we do and are looking for someone who brings the same passion for building a better Government and workplace.
