Dr Mark Craig

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in the recruitment and talent acquisition space, I specialize in building robust human capital pipelines that fuel organizational growth. Currently serving as the Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Koniag Government Services, I lead strategic initiatives to attract, engage, and retain top-tier talent in the highly competitive government contracting (GovCon) sector.​My career has been defined by a steady progression through the ranks—from hands-on technical recruiting to executive leadership. This "in-the-trenches" foundation allows me to bridge the gap between high-level corporate strategy and the day-to-day realities of the recruiting lifecycle.​Core Areas of Expertise:​Executive Leadership: Developing and executing multi-year talent strategies that align with long-term business objectives.​GovCon Excellence: Deep expertise in navigating the unique compliance and clearance requirements of government services.​Process Optimization: Scaling recruitment operations through data-driven insights and modernizing the candidate experience.​Team Development: Mentoring and leading high-performing recruitment teams to exceed hiring targets in challenging markets.​I am passionate about connecting people with purpose and helping Koniag Government Services continue its mission of excellence through its most valuable asset: its people.
