National Talent Acquisition Manager | Sales Recruiting Expert - Empowering Sales Leaders & Top Performers to Elevate Their Careers to the Next Level

National Recruiter / Strategic Head-Hunter – Outside Sales Talent

At Manulift, we don’t just recruit — we headhunt top performers. As Canada’s #1 leader in telescopic forklifts, our growth is powered by elite outside sales talent — and we’re looking for a sharp, relentless recruiter who knows how to identify top candidates and turn connections into hires that truly move the needle.

If you're a natural relationship-builder with a strategic mindset and a strong network in Ontario’s industrial or sales space, this is your opportunity to make a real impact. You won’t just fill roles — you’ll help shape high-performing teams and drive the next phase of our national expansion.

This isn’t your typical HR or admin position — it’s a mission-critical role where each placement creates momentum, elevates teams, and contributes directly to our long-term success. Reporting to the Talent Acquisition Manager, you’ll be the trusted partner for recruiting high-impact sales professionals across our Hamilton Branch.

Your Mission :

• Design and execute targeted headhunting strategies for external sales roles across Ontario and beyond.
• Actively source, engage, and close top-performing candidates – you’re not waiting for resumes, you’re going out and getting the talent we need.
• Qualify candidates through strategic phone screens and in-depth interviews – you know how to spot the hunters from the pretenders.
• Become a trusted partner to hiring managers, advising them with market insight and candidate evaluations.
• Build and nurture a powerful pipeline of qualified sales talent – especially for hard-to-fill or high-growth territories.
• Maintain sharp follow-up discipline, track KPIs, and own your recruiting funnel from first contact to signed offer.
• Contribute to offer creation, reference checks, and background verifications to ensure quality and compliance.
• Support strategic recruitment campaigns, industry-specific talent maps, and job fairs where needed.

What You Bring to the Table :

• Minimum 2 years in recruitment, sales, or headhunting – preferably in the industrial, construction, or heavy equipment sector.
• A bold personality, sharp business sense, and natural persuasion skills – you’re great at getting on the phone and getting to “yes.”
• A solid network in Ontario’s sales or industrial ecosystem is a major asset.
• Self-motivated with a hunter mindset – you perform best in fast-paced, high-reward environments.
• Ability to manage multiple high-priority roles at once with excellent organization and judgment.
• Strong communicator – you speak business, not fluff.
• Bilingualism (French / English) is an asset.
• You own a car and are open to travel occasionally (up to 25%) to meet talent or attend strategic events.

Why Join Manulift?

• Base salary + uncapped commissions – your hustle = your income.
• A company backed by market leadership and aggressive national expansion.
• 24 / 7 virtual health services, 75% employer-paid insurance, and RRSP / DPSP plan.
• Flexible schedule, personal leave days, and hybrid work options.
• Corporate clothing, free parking, and annual fitness credit.
• Career growth across Canada – we promote from within.
• Work with high-performing, passionate teams that know how to win.

If you're ready to take your recruiting career to the next level, work with strong leaders, and earn like a top closer — this is your moment.
