Your day-to-day as a Skilled Trades Recruiter:

• Source, screen, and place high-volume skilled trades and industrial talent (HVAC, electricians, maintenance techs, construction, production operators, machinists) across multiple states simultaneously
• Launch new hiring programs for national accounts fast, ramp up, hit targets, and be ready to pivot to the next account or geography without missing a beat
• Build deep, market-specific candidate pipelines using AI sourcing tools, job boards, social media, cold/warm outreach, and creative campaigns
• Manage candidates through the full talent lifecycle from outreach through screening, interview prep, placement, and retention check-ins
• Negotiate pay rates, close placements, overcome objections, and resolve issues with speed and precision
• Own and manage client relationships remotely through video calls, Slack, email, and phone
• Proactively evaluate client needs using data and market feedback and adjust recruiting strategies before shifts happen
• Present client-ready candidates directly to hiring managers and ETS account leadership with compelling, well-prepared submittals
• Travel to client sites as needed to strengthen relationships and deepen your understanding of their operations

• Master the ETS tech stack including Bullhorn CRM, AI platforms, communication tools, and Google Workspace

Your skills and experience:

• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required. New grads encouraged to apply
• 1-2+ years in a sales-driven environment preferred, but raw talent and drive matter more than a long resume

• Demonstrated ability to use AI tools and social media as part of a recruiting or sales strategy
• Organized under pressure with the ability to manage multiple accounts, states, and shifting priorities simultaneously
• Motivated by a commission-based compensation structure with uncapped earning potential
