Job Summary:

This person will run their own desk — intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer — while partnering closely with the Manager, Talent Acquisition on process and with hiring managers on role strategy. This is a strong fit for an experienced full life cycle recruiter who has worked construction, industrial, or energy roles alongside corporate/professional roles, is comfortable sourcing directly rather than relying solely on inbound applicants and wants to help build a recruiting function inside a fast-scaling company rather than execute inside an already-mature one.

Requirements

 Required Qualification: 

  • 5+ years of full life cycle recruiting experience, with direct sourcing (not solely applicant-review) as a core part of the role

  • Strong candidate communication and interview coordination skills
  • Experience with an ATS and standard sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, etc.)
