Employment Type: Long-Term Temporary
Position Overview
We are working with a growing organization seeking an experienced Recruiter to join its recruiting team on a long-term temporary basis. This is a high-visibility, full-cycle recruiting opportunity for a proactive recruiting professional who can partner closely with hiring leaders, develop effective sourcing strategies, and support hiring needs across multiple locations.
The ideal candidate is a strong, independent recruiter who takes ownership of the recruiting process, builds relationships with business leaders, and knows how to identify and attract top talent. Construction industry experience is not required; we are prioritizing exceptional recruiting skills, sourcing capabilities, and the ability to manage a diverse recruiting workload.
This position can be based in San Antonio, Houston, Costa Mesa, or McLean, with a hybrid schedule requiring approximately 2–3 days onsite per week. San Antonio-based candidates should expect to spend time at local project sites rather than a traditional office. Travel is expected to be minimal (about 5%), primarily within the San Antonio, Houston, Kansas City, and El Paso markets.
