Statement of Purpose

Skilled Trades Recruiters (internally PCs) manage a high-volume, full-cycle recruiting process to ensure a consistent pipeline of qualified Craftworkers. They assess hiring needs, determine when new recruits are required, and partner with the Sales Team to maintain both an external candidate pipeline and a strong internal bench.

They use data-driven processes to guide decision-making, follow all established procedures, deliver exceptional candidate experiences, and maintain a professional, consultative approach with both Craftworkers and clients.

PCs also play a key role in Craftworker retention by building strong relationships, understanding availability, and ensuring clear communication with the Sales team. They contribute to operational planning and fulfillment accuracy by identifying the right Craftworkers for each assignment, supporting them throughout the job lifecycle, and, when needed, providing inside sales and client-facing support.
