Job description

And finding great talent takes more than posting a job and hoping for the best.

The J2T Recruiting team is growing in Montana and we’re looking for an exceptional Recruiter to join us. In this role, you’ll help Montana-based companies find the people who actually move the needle in their business.

This is not a post-and-pray recruiting role. You won’t be sitting back waiting for applicants to roll in. Instead, you’ll be out in the market—building relationships, having real conversations, and proactively identifying top professionals, even when they’re not actively looking.

What you’ll actually be doing

You’ll spend your time building genuine relationships with professionals across Montana. You’ll learn what motivates them, what kind of roles excite them, and when it might make sense to explore something new. When a client needs help, you’ll already know who could be a great fit.

You’ll interview candidates regularly and dig deeper than a résumé. You’ll understand their track record, how they’ve gone above and beyond, and what they’re really looking for next. Your goal is simple: only introduce candidates you’d personally stand behind.

At J2T, we don’t just fill seats, we become experts in our market, and our clients trust us to guide them.

Industry focus

This role is heavily focused on recruiting within construction, engineering, and architecture. Experience in these industries is a big plus, but curiosity and confidence go a long way. While you may touch other industries, this will be your primary lane.

As you build momentum, you’ll also have the opportunity to grow into business development, bringing in your own clients and helping expand the J2T book of business.

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, interviewing, and closing candidates
• Build strong relationships with professionals and identify best-in-class talent
• Source both active and passive candidates through outreach, job boards, networking, social media, and referrals
• Act as a true matchmaker between candidates and client needs
• Negotiate compensation and manage candidate expectations
• Prepare candidates for interviews and debrief with them afterward
• Maintain clean, accurate candidate notes and summaries
• Identify and develop new business through referrals, leads, and targeted outreach
• Partner closely with clients to take thorough job orders and understand their needs
• Build long-term client relationships through regular communication and in-person meetings when appropriate
• Stay current on industry and market trends
• Spot new opportunities for growth and expansion

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of professional corporate experience
• Solid understanding of how businesses operate
• Experience in construction, engineering, or architecture (preferred, not required)
• Background in sales or business development—you’re comfortable being proactive
• Proven ability to hit goals, quotas, or KPIs
• Creative thinker who enjoys trying new approaches
• Comfortable making cold calls and reaching out to people you don’t know
• Thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Strong relationship-builder who enjoys being a trusted resource
• Highly self-motivated—you control your own success here

What you’ll get

• $60–$65K base salary plus commissions (most recruiters earn $80–$100K+ in their first full year)
• 100% remote (must live in Montana)
• Retirement plan with 2% employer contribution starting day one
• 90% of individual health insurance covered by J2T
• 15 days PTO to start, plus holidays
• Home office reimbursement and continuing education budget
• Team travel a few times per year for collaboration and connection
