Job description

Help Build the Next 50 Years of Horizon Roofing Horizon Roofing has been in business for 50 years, has grown to approximately 200 team members, and we're not done growing.
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition & Workforce Recruiter who can help us find, attract, and hire great people across our company. This is an opportunity to join an established, successful organization while helping build the recruiting strategy and workforce that will support our next stage of growth.
This is not a position for someone who simply wants to post jobs and wait for applications.
We want someone who enjoys finding people, building relationships, creating recruiting pipelines, selling career opportunities, and making things happen.
You’ll work closely with Horizon's leadership and department teams to understand where we need talent and then develop creative ways to find it.
Our recruiting needs can range from field and skilled-trade positions to foremen, service professionals, sheet metal team members, salespeople, management, and other key positions throughout the company.
If you like the idea of taking ownership of recruiting and being able to see the direct impact of the people you bring into an organization, this may be a great fit.
Why Horizon Roofing?
There are recruiting jobs where you're one person inside a large corporate HR department.
This is different.
At Horizon, recruiting directly affects our ability to grow.
You’ll have the opportunity to help shape how we recruit, where we find people, how we build our talent pipeline, and how Horizon positions itself as an employer.

You'll be joining a company with

• 50 years of history and stability
• Approximately 200 team members
• A strong, established presence in the roofing and construction industry
• Multiple departments and career paths within the organization
• A company that continues to grow and create new opportunities
• Leadership that understands great people are critical to continued growth
• An opportunity to build and improve recruiting systems rather than simply inherit a process
• A role where your results will be highly visible and meaningful
• We want someone who can help us become even better at attracting talented people who may spend years building their careers at Horizon.
• What You'll DoRecruit Great People
• Own recruiting efforts for positions throughout Horizon, including skilled trades, field operations, service, sales, leadership, office, and other specialized positions.
• You’ll actively search for candidates instead of relying only on incoming applications.

This may include

• Direct candidate outreach
• Indeed, LinkedIn, and other recruiting platforms
• Employee referrals
• Social media recruiting
• Trade and technical schools
• Career fairsCommunity and workforce organizations
• Industry relationships
• Competitor and passive-candidate recruiting
• Building long-term relationships with people who may not be ready to move today
• Build a Talent Pipeline
• Not every recruiting need should start with a job posting.
• We want to build relationships with talented people before we need them.
• You’ll help develop an ongoing pipeline of roofers, sheet metal professionals, service technicians, foremen, salespeople, leaders, and other talented individuals who could become future Horizon team members.
• Partner With Our Leaders
• Work directly with department leaders to understand:
• Who they need
• What makes someone successful in their department
• Which positions are hardest to fill
• Upcoming workforce needs
• Where our best employees have historically come from
• How we can improve the candidate and hiring experience
• You’ll become a recruiting partner to our managers—not simply someone who forwards résumés.
• Sell the Opportunity
• Good candidates often already have jobs.
• A major part of this position is being able to tell Horizon's story, understand what motivates a candidate, and help them see why joining Horizon may be the right next step in their career.
• We're looking for someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, starting conversations, following up, networking, and building trust.
• Improve How We Recruit
• We want to continue becoming more disciplined and data-driven about recruiting.

You'll help us track and improve things such as

• Number of qualified candidates
• Time to fill positions
• Source of hire
• Cost per hire
• Candidate conversion rates
• 30-, 90-, and 365-day retention
• Employee referral results
• Recruiting campaign effectiveness
• Hiring trends by department
• Over time, we want to know which recruiting sources produce the best long-term Horizon employees, not simply the most applications.
• What We're Looking For
• We care more about your ability to recruit great people than having a perfect résumé.

You may be a great fit if you

• Have recruiting or talent acquisition experience
• Enjoy sourcing and approaching passive candidates
• Are comfortable talking with people at every level of an organization
• Have strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Are persistent and follow through
• Are organized and comfortable managing multiple open positions
• Can sell an opportunity without overselling it
• Enjoy building new processes and trying new recruiting strategies
• Are comfortable being measured on resultsUnderstand that hiring the right person matters more than simply filling a position
• Want to take ownership of an important function within a growing company
• Experience recruiting for construction, roofing, skilled trades, manufacturing, field service, transportation, or similar industries would be especially valuable.
• How We Define Success
• Success isn't measured by how many résumés you send to a manager.
• It's measured by the quality of the people you help bring into Horizon.

We want to see

• Great people hired.
• Positions filled faster.
• Stronger candidate pipelines.
• Better recruiting sources identified.
• Employees who stay and succeed.
• Managers who trust their recruiting partner.
• And ultimately, a stronger Horizon team.

Compensation

We anticipate a base salary of approximately $65,000-$80,000, depending on experience and demonstrated recruiting ability.
In addition to base compensation, we plan to offer a performance-based incentive opportunity tied to successful recruiting results, giving a high-performing recruiter the ability to earn significantly more.
Our goal is to create a compensation structure that rewards someone for helping Horizon make quality hires who become successful long-term team members, not simply generating applications.

The Opportunity

Horizon Roofing has already built a successful company over the past 50 years.
Now we're continuing to grow.
To do that, we need more great people—and finding those people is becoming increasingly important to our future.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to build something, have a direct relationship with company leadership, influence how a growing organization recruits, and see the results of your work throughout the company.
If that sounds more exciting than simply managing job postings and processing applicants, we'd like to meet you.
Horizon Roofing is an equal opportunity employer.
