Los Angeles - Associate Recruitment Director, Construction

An established international recruitment business is launching and growing its US operation and is looking for an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant / Associate Director to build its Construction recruitment division in Los Angeles.

Salary:

$100000 - 125000

Location:

Los Angeles

Country:

United States of America

Closing Date:

2027-01-11

The Role

This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of a market from the outset. You’ll be responsible for developing new business, building client relationships and growing a profitable Construction desk, with the opportunity to hire and lead a team around you as the division develops.

You’ll have the backing, infrastructure and resources of an established international recruitment company, but with the autonomy and opportunity that comes with joining a growing US business at an early stage.

About You

You’ll be an experienced 360 / full-desk recruiter with a strong track record of business development and revenue generation.

Direct Construction recruitment experience would be ideal, but we’re also interested in recruiters coming from related technical markets including:

• Civil Engineering
• Infrastructure
• Engineering
• Property & Real Estate
• Built Environment
• Other technical recruitment markets with transferable client networks and experience

You’ll need to be entrepreneurial, commercially minded and comfortable winning your own business. This role will particularly suit someone who wants more ownership and long-term progression than they might get within a traditional recruitment structure.

Benefits

• $100k–$125k base salary
• Uncapped commission
• Autonomy to build and own your market
• No unnecessary geographical or client restrictions
• Hybrid working – 3 days per week in the Los Angeles office
• Flexible start and finish times
• Open PTO for Lead Consultant level and above
• Medical, dental and vision healthcare
• 401(k)
• Support from experienced recruitment leaders with a strong track record of scaling businesses
  Opportunity to build and lead your own team
• Clear progression into senior leadership as the US operation grows

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced recruiter who enjoys the commercial side of recruitment but wants the chance to build something of their own without taking the risk of starting a business from scratch.
