Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Recruiter – Skilled Trades Construction based in the United States.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced recruiter who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. The position offers remote flexibility, competitive compensation, and attractive monthly performance incentives.

Accountabilities

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for skilled trades and construction positions, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and candidate selection.
