Recruit Right Strategies Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We specialize in mitigating and rebuilding residential and commercial properties damaged by fire, water, storms, and other disasters. We partner with leading insurance carriers and handle everything from emergency cleanup to complete rebuilds, with a focus on safety, integrity, and advocacy. As entrepreneurs, we take full ownership of the work we do and the families we serve.
At Merit, our purpose is simple and non-negotiable: we work together as a team so we can change lives. Teamwork is the foundation of everything we do-because teamwork creates impact, and impact changes lives. We exist to help people, and the only way we do that at the highest level is by moving as one team, aligned in mission, values, and execution.
Why we exist. We exist for two families. The families we serve and the families inside this company. When we work together and serve our clients at the highest level, both families win.
Our people are the heart of this company - they are our greatest asset. Every property we restore and every job we complete depends on having the right people in the right seats. We are committed to finding and hiring the best talent: people who want to come be part of something great, who are ready to contribute to something bigger than themselves, and who bring the right mindset to a team built on excellence.
It starts with this role. As our In-House Recruiter, you are the one digging deep to find, attract, and secure that talent. You'll drive full-cycle recruiting across Merit's field, office, and leadership roles - mitigation techs, project managers, estimators, support staff, and management - because the strength of our teams begins with the people you bring through the door.
