Job Description

Executive Recruiter - Indianapolis, IN

Build a business within a business — powered by our proven process, platform, and client relationships.

If you're a tenured recruiter ready to grow something bigger than a job, this is your opportunity. ERG is an executive search firm headquartered in Appleton, WI, partnering with companies across the state and the nation to place high-impact leaders — Vice Presidents, Directors, C-Suite, and more. Our purpose is simple: exceed expectations on finding the perfect fit. Transforming lives. One person, one company at a time.

Demand for our services keeps growing, and we're looking for an experienced Executive Recruiter with an entrepreneur's mindset — someone who sees a desk not as a job, but as a business to grow. Construction industry experience is a big plus, but great recruiters come from all backgrounds.

What you'll build:

\n
• A thriving desk focused entirely on recruiting — we bring the clients, you bring the talent
\n
• A deep candidate network and a reputation as the go-to talent expert in your space
\n
• Search strategies that uncover candidates others can't find
\n
• A rigorous, high-quality process — screening, assessing, verifying references, and delivering candidates who fit both the role and the culture
\n
• Long-term earning power, with a commission structure that rewards your placements and performance
\n

Who thrives here:

\n
• A tenured agency recruiter — 5+ years of recruiting experience preferred
\n
• Construction industry knowledge or recruiting experience is a strong plus
\n
• An entrepreneurial, self-directed operator who doesn't wait to be told what's next
\n
• Relentless about being the best at what you do — strong work ethic, disciplined mindset
\n
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
\n
• Bachelor's degree preferred, but results matter more
\n

Why ERG?

\n
• Remote or On-site
\n
• Competitive salary + commission and bonus structure
\n
• Health, dental, and vision insurance + 401(k)
\n
• PTO, paid holidays, and sick days
\n
