• Track record of candidate pipelines you built yourself—calls, referrals, associations, job boards, and direct outreach—not inbound only.
• Clear, candid communication with hiring managers and candidates, including hard news on comp, timeline, and fit.

• Fill priority skilled-trades (electro-mechanical technicians) at volume by collaborating and executing on a recruitment strategy.
• Deliver qualified, interested candidates who match the job’s real requirements—and create enough top-of-funnel for hiring events to efficiently use hiring manager and candidate time.
• Build and maintain a living pipeline of talent as we go.
• Run every search with clear scope, timeline, and status so hiring managers always know where the search stands and what decision is next.
• Raise offer-accept and start rates by qualifying pay, shift, location, credentials, and culture fit before you present anyone.
• Conduct active searches by using targeted outreach, referrals, military networks, and trade networks
