Full-Time | On-Site in Pasadena, CA

Family-Owned HVAC Company | Established 1988

AirTech HVAC is a family-owned HVAC company that has been serving the San Gabriel Valley since 1988. Our reputation is built on trust, craftmanship, and genuine care for our customers. We are in a season of strategic growth and are looking for a high-performing Talent Acquisition Manager who knows how to find, connect with, and hire A-Players — especially in the trades.

If you love building great teams and want to play a key role in helping a strong company grow to the next level, we would love to talk.

Compensation

• Salary: $80,000 – $90,000/year (DOE)
• Performance Bonus: Based on hiring goals & retention metrics

What This Role Is All About

We're not looking for someone who simply fills open positions. We're looking for a strategic hiring partner who takes pride in building great teams, recognizes exceptional talent, and understands that the right people are the foundation of a successful company.

You will be the one who helps shape who joins our company next — and that matters a lot.

• Proactively source candidates through Indeed, LinkedIn, social media, employee referrals, trade schools, industry associations, and community networking.
• Build and maintain a consistent pipeline of qualified candidates, including passive candidates who may be interested in future opportunities.
• Review resumes, conduct phone screenings and interviews, coordinate additional interviews, perform reference checks, and facilitate employment offers.
• Partner with company leadership to identify staffing needs, anticipate future hiring demands, and develop workforce hiring plans.
• Write and manage compelling job advertisements that accurately reflect AirTech's culture, expectations, and career opportunities.
• Establish and maintain relationships with HVAC trade schools, technical colleges, industry organizations, and local talent networks.
• Coordinate recruiting events, career fairs, and other opportunities to promote AirTech as an employer of choice.
• Track recruiting metrics, including time-to-fill, candidate quality, recruiting costs, and hiring effectiveness.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and ensure timely, professional communication throughout the hiring process.

Human Resources & Employee Support

• Coordinate the onboarding process for new employees, including new-hire paperwork, employment eligibility verification, orientation, and required documentation.
• Assist with employee benefits enrollment, changes, and related administrative functions.
• Support the administration of company policies, procedures, and employee handbook updates.
• Assist management with employee relations matters, performance documentation, corrective actions, and employee concerns.
• Track and coordinate employee performance reviews, probationary evaluations, and other personnel milestones.
• Assist with employee recognition, engagement, and retention initiatives that promote a positive and productive workplace.
• Serve as a professional, approachable resource for employees and management regarding routine HR questions and processes.

What You Bring

• 3+ years recruiting experience, ideally in HVAC, construction, home services, or any skilled trade environment
• Demonstrated success managing full-cycle recruiting for multiple positions simultaneously.
• Experience recruiting skilled trades, field service professionals, or other hard-to-fill positions.

• A love for organization, follow-through, and measurable results
