Skilled Trades Recruiter

Tradesmen International

**This is a full time IN OFFICE opportunity - no remote or hybrid available**

Statement of Purpose

Skilled Trades Recruiter or Project Coordinators (PCs) manage a high-volume, full-cycle recruiting process to ensure a consistent pipeline of qualified Craftworkers. They assess hiring needs, determine when new recruits are required, and partner with the Sales Team to maintain both an external candidate pipeline and a strong internal bench. PCs leverage available sourcing tools to identify, engage, and qualify craft professionals at the speed and volume needed to meet local market demand.

PCs act as a shared company resource, filling priority orders by matching Craftworkers with proven safety and skill records to client needs across their assigned market and beyond. They use data-driven processes to guide decision-making, follow all established procedures, deliver exceptional candidate experiences, and maintain a professional, consultative approach with both Craftworkers and clients.

PCs also play a key role in Craftworker retention by building strong relationships, understanding availability, and ensuring clear communication with the Sales team. They contribute to operational planning and fulfillment accuracy by identifying the right Craftworkers for each assignment, supporting them throughout the job lifecycle, and, when needed, providing inside sales and client-facing support.

Duties/ Responsibilities

Safety & Compliance

  • Drive a strong safety culture by ensuring all Craftworkers meet minimum safety qualifications and by maintaining accurate safety and training records.

  • Conduct effective virtual and in-person hiring evaluations using standardized assessments.
  • Maintain accurate Craftworker records and lead lists to ensure visibility into skillsets, interests, and availability.
  • Drive Craftworker retention through ongoing engagement and effective utilization strategies.
  • Partner closely with the Area Operations Manager to ensure recruiting process excellence, compliance, and a strategic approach to successful order fulfillment.

Project Coordination & Collaboration

  • Coordinate project fulfillment by monitoring project timelines, client needs, and opportunities to expand services.
  • Lead strategic operations discussions with sales to match Craftworker availability with order demand and identify opportunities to upsell or utilize existing resources.
  • Provide timely updates on project end-dates and Craftworker availability to support proactive sales and fulfillment planning.
  • Collaborate closely with the Sales Team to maintain visibility into upcoming project requirements and available employee resources.

  • Creative problem-solver with the ability to think outside the box and overcome challenges.
