Description
The primary responsibility of a Recruiting Coordinator/Project Coordinator is to recruit, interview and hire qualified Field Employees to ensure overall workforce optimization and to successfully build and manage a safe, stable, productive and skilled labor workforce. The Project Coordinator exercises discretion and independent judgment in recruiting and hiring field employees. The Project Coordinator typically recruits and hires field employees without consulting the office's General Manager or other management personnel. The Project Coordinator's recommendations regarding the termination or discipline of field employees are given particular weight.
The Project Coordinator serves as a spokesperson for Tradesmen International as one of the first points of contact that potential Field Employees have with the company.

The Project Coordinator builds quality relationships with field employees while meeting or exceeding recruitment goals.
The Project Coordinator position has a shared purpose with all other positions in the Field Office to create and maintain a safety culture. For the Project Coordinator, this is achieved through the administration of a rigorous hiring process and by managing the safety of the workforce after the hire through daily education, training and motivation to engage in safety-related behaviors.
Project Coordinators generally work in Tradesmen's medium to large field offices, with gross sales of $2,000,000 or more. The Project Coordinator along with the General Manager is responsible for directing and managing the Recruiter if the office is large enough to support the Recruiter position.
