Build the Teams That Build Kovach

Chandler, AZ | Hybrid Eligible | Full-Time | Exempt
Salary Range $70,000 to 85,000

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Employee-Owned Company (ESOP)
• Hybrid work opportunity based on demonstrated performance
• LinkedIn Recruiter license provided
• Recruit across Corporate, Manufacturing, and Construction Operations
• Own the candidate journey from workforce planning through successful onboarding
• Help build recruiting systems that scale with a growing company

If you've ever looked at a recruiting process and thought, "There has to be a better way," you might be exactly who we're looking for.

At Kovach, recruiting isn't about filling openings. It's about building teams, strengthening our culture, and helping people build meaningful careers.

We're building a recruiting function that values relationships over transactions, partnerships over order-taking, and continuous improvement over "the way we've always done it."

We're looking for a Recruiter who wants to help build that future with us.

You'll have the autonomy to recommend better ideas, the support to implement them, and the opportunity to see the impact of your work across the organization.

About the Role

As our Recruiter, you'll partner directly with hiring managers across our Corporate, Manufacturing, and Construction Operations to attract exceptional talent and create an outstanding hiring experience from the initial workforce planning discussion through successful onboarding.

This isn't a recruiting position where success is measured only by how quickly you fill a requisition.

Success means helping managers make great hiring decisions, delivering an exceptional candidate experience, building talent pipelines before positions become urgent, and continuously improving the way recruiting is done.

No two days are the same. One day you may be recruiting a Project Manager, the next a CAD Drafter, Glazier, Estimator, Manufacturing Supervisor, HR professional, or executive-level position. If you enjoy variety and learning different parts of a business, you'll thrive in this role.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Partner with hiring managers to understand workforce needs and develop recruiting strategies.
• Recruit for Corporate, Manufacturing, and Construction positions.
• Develop and maintain accurate job descriptions that support effective hiring.
• Build proactive talent pipelines for recurring and difficult-to-fill positions.
• Source active and passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, networking, career fairs, trade organizations, colleges, technical schools, military transition programs, and other creative sourcing strategies.
• Conduct structured phone screens and interviews.
• Evaluate candidates based on qualifications, transferable skills, learning agility, and long-term potential.
• Coordinate interviews while maintaining exceptional communication with candidates and hiring managers.
• Prepare employment offers and coordinate onboarding activities to create an exceptional first-day experience.
• Represent Kovach at career fairs, networking events, schools, and community outreach activities.
• Analyze recruiting metrics and identify opportunities to improve hiring outcomes.
• Utilize technology, automation, AI, and analytics to improve efficiency while maintaining sound professional judgment.
• Recommend improvements that simplify, standardize, automate, and scale recruiting processes.

Who Thrives Here?

You'll probably enjoy this position if you naturally:

• Build relationships quickly and earn people's trust.
• Ask thoughtful questions before offering solutions.
• Enjoy learning new technology.
• Look for opportunities to improve processes.
• Take ownership of your work and follow through on commitments.
• Adapt quickly when priorities change.
• Communicate openly and professionally.
• Believe hiring great people is one of the most important things a business can do.

We recognize that exceptional recruiters come from many professional backgrounds.

Recruiting experience is valuable, but so is experience in customer service, operations, sales, leadership, project management, business development, or other relationship-focused roles where you've demonstrated the ability to build trust, solve problems, influence decisions, and learn quickly.

We hire for potential just as much as experience.

Why Join Kovach?

We're building more than remarkable building envelopes.

We're building an HR organization focused on innovation, continuous improvement, exceptional service, and scalable systems that support our future growth.

You'll work directly with an HR Director who believes in:

• Hiring for potential as well as experience.
• Sharing knowledge instead of protecting it.
• Continuous learning and professional development.
• Building scalable systems instead of temporary fixes.
• Empowering employees to recommend and implement better ideas.
• Using technology, automation, and AI responsibly to eliminate repetitive work and create more time for meaningful human interaction.

As our organization continues to grow, we expect our Human Resources team to grow with it. We're looking for people who want to build long-term careers while helping shape the future of HR at Kovach.

Employee Ownership Matters

Kovach is proud to be an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company.

As an employee-owner, you'll have the opportunity to share in the long-term success of the company you're helping build. Employee ownership creates a culture of accountability, collaboration, and shared success because when the company grows, we all grow together.

Hybrid Work

We believe flexibility is earned through trust, communication, accountability, and consistent performance—not arbitrary timelines.

This position becomes eligible for a hybrid work arrangement after demonstrating the ability to independently perform the essential responsibilities of the role while consistently meeting performance expectations and business needs.

If you're excited by solving problems, helping people succeed, and leaving every process better than you found it, we'd love to meet you.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your ideas. Bring your passion for helping people succeed.
