Job Description:

• We are seeking a motivated Field Recruiter to support hiring efforts for skilled trades, construction, and field-based positions. This is a highly relationship-driven role for someone who enjoys being out in the community, connecting with candidates face-to-face, and taking ownership of the recruiting process.
• The ideal candidate is personable, driven, comfortable working independently, and familiar with the construction, trades, industrial, or other blue-collar environments. A strong sales or business development mindset is highly valued. This is a field-focused position rather than a traditional corporate recruiting role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead recruiting activities for high-volume field, skilled trade, craft, and construction openings.
• Develop candidate pipelines using job boards, referrals, networking, community outreach, and industry connections.
• Represent the organization at career fairs, trade schools, hiring events, and other local recruiting opportunities.

• Conduct initial conversations and interviews to evaluate candidates' backgrounds, skills, interest, availability, and suitability for open positions.
• Act as a primary point of contact for applicants throughout the hiring process, providing consistent communication from initial contact through onboarding.
• Work directly with field leadership, hiring managers, and HR to understand staffing priorities and address recruiting needs.
• Take ownership of daily recruiting activities, including scheduling, outreach, follow-up, and candidate engagement.
• Keep applicant tracking systems, recruiting records, and pipeline reports accurate and current.
• Monitor recruiting activity and provide updates regarding open positions, candidate flow, hiring progress, and staffing challenges.
• Assist with offer coordination and new-hire onboarding in partnership with HR and operations.
• Help support new employees during their first 30–90 days to encourage successful integration and retention.
• Identify obstacles affecting hiring and recommend practical ways to improve candidate flow, hiring speed, retention, and recruiting event results.

Qualifications :

• Approximately 3 years of experience in construction, skilled trades, industrial recruiting, staffing, sales, business development, or a closely related environment.
• Experience recruiting for trades, construction, industrial, or other field-based positions is strongly preferred.
• Bilingual Spanish/English is required.
• Strong sales, prospecting, networking, and relationship-building abilities.
• Comfortable engaging candidates and building relationships in person and in field environments.
• Self-motivated and capable of managing priorities with limited day-to-day oversight.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple openings and candidate pipelines simultaneously.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems, HR platforms, Microsoft Word, and Excel.
• Ability to travel between job sites and recruiting locations throughout the workday.
• Valid driving status with no restrictions that would interfere with required business travel.
• A bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related discipline is preferred but not required.

Additional Details :

• This is an on-site, field-oriented opportunity and is not a remote position.
• The successful candidate should be comfortable spending time at construction sites and other recruiting locations, interacting directly with field personnel and prospective employees.
• The role is well suited for someone who is energetic, personable, competitive, and motivated by measurable results.
• Recruiting experience is helpful, but candidates with strong sales experience and a solid understanding of construction or skilled-trade environments may also be considered.

Perks :

• Competitive salary with annual bonus opportunity
• Paid holidays and vacation
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Additional voluntary insurance options
• 401(k) with company match
