Job description

Most recruiting leadership roles are built around supervision and reporting. This one is built around results.

Yellowstone Local helps plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and construction companies hire the people who keep their businesses running. When they cannot hire, jobs go unfilled, customers wait, and revenue stops.

This role is for a proven recruiter who is ready to lead others, raise the standard, and take responsibility for recruiting performance across multiple clients.

You will lead a team of recruiters, coach their performance, maintain visibility across their pipelines, and ensure the recruiting strategy produces qualified candidates and hires. You will still stay close enough to the work to diagnose problems, inspect quality, and step in when the team needs leadership.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance.

What's in it for You?

• $45,000 to $55,000 annual salary, depending on experience, recruiting expertise, and demonstrated leadership ability
• Fully remote work environment
• Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance with strong plan coverage
• Flexible PTO, typically 12 to 15 days
• Standard company holidays
• 12 weeks of maternity leave
• Direct access to leadership and the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as the company grows
• A results-driven environment where strong performance earns trust, ownership, and growth opportunities

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Join a high-performance recruiting team that values results over empty activity
• Lead recruiting efforts that directly impact plumbing, HVAC, electrical, construction, home services, and skilled trades companies
• Work in a culture built around accountability, clear communication, strong judgment, and disciplined execution
• Get the freedom to identify problems, challenge weak assumptions with evidence, and recommend better recruiting strategies
• Develop recruiters through practical coaching, clear expectations, and measurable performance improvement
• Work closely with Client Success, recruiting operations, sourcing, support, and leadership
• Use recruiting metrics, pipeline data, candidate feedback, and market insights to make better hiring decisions
• Stay close to the recruiting process instead of managing solely through reports
• Help build consistent recruiting standards across multiple clients, locations, and open positions
• Work with a team that expects leaders to take ownership, address problems early, and follow through

Your New Role

• Lead, coach, and develop a remote team of recruiters responsible for full-cycle recruiting across multiple skilled trades clients, setting clear expectations for quality, urgency, accountability, and results.
• Partner closely with the Client Success Manager to turn client and job-level recruiting strategies into clear priorities, sourcing plans, candidate profiles, and measurable actions for the recruiting team.
• Own visibility across active recruiting pipelines, using sourcing activity, candidate quality, conversion rates, interview progress, follow-up, and hiring outcomes to understand performance across priority openings.
• Diagnose recruiting and hiring funnel problems early, identifying stalled candidates, weak candidate flow, screening issues, pipeline bottlenecks, or other breakdowns and leading the team through corrective action.
• Coach recruiters using recruiting metrics, pipeline data, and observed performance, providing specific feedback and following through until expectations are met and performance improves.
• Protect candidate quality by ensuring recruiters effectively evaluate experience, qualifications, communication, motivation, compensation expectations, availability, and overall fit before client submission.
• Bring pipeline data, candidate feedback, and market insights to strategy discussions, recommending changes when the evidence shows an existing recruiting approach is not producing results.
• Work cross-functionally with Client Success, recruiting operations, sourcing, support, and leadership to remove hiring roadblocks, clarify ownership, and keep client hiring priorities moving forward.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience recruiting for skilled trades, construction, home services, or other blue-collar positions
• Experience managing recruiting across multiple clients, locations, or job openings
• Experience using HubSpot, Recruitee, Slack, and Google Workspace
• Experience using AI tools to improve recruiting execution and team productivity
• Experience using recruiting metrics and pipeline data to coach performance
• Experience working inside a fast-moving, high-accountability company
