Job description

Architecture Recruiter / Recruiting Business Partner

The Encompass Group is partnering with a highly respected architecture and engineering organization to identify an experienced Architecture Recruiter / Recruiting Business Partner to join their team.

This is a great opportunity for a recruiter who genuinely enjoys the hunt. The team is looking for someone who understands the architecture industry, knows how to identify hard-to-find talent, and is comfortable getting on the phone and building relationships with passive candidates.

This is not a high-turnover, transactional recruiting environment. The team has intentionally built a structured, collaborative, data-driven recruiting culture where recruiters share processes, credits, and wins rather than competing against one another.

What You’ll Do

• Recruit primarily across architecture and engineering roles, with an emphasis on identifying specialized, hard-to-find talent.
• Own the full recruiting process, including sourcing, candidate outreach, qualification, relationship building, submittals, and interview coordination.
• Proactively source passive candidates through LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, ATS data, online research, networking, and creative headhunting techniques.
• Spend significant time directly engaging candidates by phone rather than relying solely on LinkedIn messages or inbound applicants.
• Clearly communicate why a candidate is qualified when presenting them to hiring teams.
• Maintain consistent recruiting activity and pipeline management through a structured, metrics-driven process.
• Collaborate with other recruiters through shared processes, candidate credits, and split opportunities.
• Build long-term relationships within the architecture and engineering community.

What We're Looking For

• Recent experience recruiting architects is required.
• Strong understanding of the architecture industry, terminology, credentials, certifications, and common career paths.
• Demonstrated experience sourcing and engaging passive candidates.
• A true headhunter mentality. You are resourceful, persistent, and willing to go beyond the obvious sourcing channels to find the right person.
• Comfortable making outbound calls and initiating conversations with candidates who are not actively job searching.
• Structured, systematic, and data-driven in how you manage your recruiting activity and pipeline.
• Direct and confident communicator who can clearly assess candidates based on qualifications and hard skills.
• Proactive, trustworthy, ethical, flexible, and team-oriented.
• Comfortable working in an environment with clear expectations and measurable recruiting activity.
