• Recruit primarily for General Manager, Operations Manager, Sales Manager, Plumbing Manager, Electrical Manager, and other field leadership positions.
• Develop and execute proactive sourcing and headhunting strategies to identify passive leadership talent.
• Conduct thorough candidate assessment and provide clear recommendations to hiring leaders.
• Build and maintain strong pipelines for difficult-to-fill leadership positions.
• Provide hiring managers with meaningful market intelligence, including candidate availability, compensation expectations, competitive activity, and recurring candidate feedback.
• Diagnose challenges within searches and independently recommend adjustments to sourcing strategy, candidate profile, compensation, or other search parameters.
• Maintain consistent communication with senior stakeholders throughout the recruiting process.

• Represent the organization professionally and build a strong candidate experience throughout the process.
• Utilize recruiting data, market research, and sourcing insights to continuously improve search outcomes.

  THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
  We are looking for someone who operates as a true Talent Acquisition Partner-not simply a recruiter executing requisitions.
  The right person will be comfortable telling a hiring leader what the market is saying, why a search may not be producing results, and what should change to improve the outcome.
  You should be someone who naturally asks:
  Who are we targeting? → What are candidates telling us? → Where is the search breaking down? → What does the market tell us? → What should we change?
  If you enjoy difficult searches, passive talent acquisition, senior stakeholder partnership, and having real ownership over the recruiting strategy, this could be an excellent fit.
