• Manage selected requisitions from intake through offer stages while also serving as a sourcing partner for recruiters who need pipeline support.

• Partner with hiring managers to define candidate profiles, clarify business needs, and adjust search strategies based on market feedback and hiring urgency.

• Build and maintain strong talent pipelines through direct outreach, research, networking platforms, and competitive market mapping.

• Participate in intake discussions, interview feedback sessions, and candidate evaluations to strengthen alignment between recruiting activity and hiring goals.

• Deliver market insight and practical recruiting guidance to hiring leaders to improve decision-making and keep searches moving efficiently.

• Use tools such as Oracle, LinkedIn, Indeed, ZoomInfo, and TalentNeuron to execute targeted searches and track recruiting activity.

• Operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment that requires strong organization, manual follow-through, and consistent execution.

• Continuously refine sourcing methods by gathering feedback, learning role nuances, and applying creative search techniques to improve candidate quality. Requirements • 7+ years of recruiting experience with strong depth in proactive sourcing and candidate engagement.

• Demonstrated success recruiting for both corporate and operational roles, ideally including construction-related talent.

• Experience handling full-cycle recruitment while also supporting sourcing-heavy assignments across multiple business areas.

• Strong ability to identify and attract niche or highly competitive candidates through research-driven search strategies.

• Working knowledge of applicant tracking systems and recruiting platforms, including Oracle or comparable ATS tools.

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment with changing hiring demands.

• Effective communication and partnership skills for working with hiring managers, conducting intake meetings, and advising stakeholders.

• Naturally curious and analytical, with the ability to ask thoughtful questions and translate business needs into focused recruiting plans.
