Job description

Excellence Appliance Repair is growing across multiple U.S. markets, and we’re looking for a full-time recruiter to help us build our technician team.

This is not a traditional HR role. Your main goal is simple: find good appliance repair technicians, get them interested in joining our company, and move them through the hiring process.

We already generate a steady flow of inbound candidates. You’ll own those candidates from the first contact through their first day at work, while also proactively finding additional technicians.

What you’ll do

• Contact new applicants quickly and conduct 10–15 minute screening calls
• Understand candidates’ experience, expectations, availability, and motivation
• Clearly explain and sell the opportunity at Excellence Appliance Repair
• Decide which candidates should move to a technical interview
• Schedule technical interviews with our Technical Manager
• Follow up with candidates and reduce interview no-shows
• Source additional candidates through Indeed, LinkedIn, Facebook groups, referrals, and other channels
• Re-engage good candidates from our existing database
• Send offers and coordinate recruiting-related paperwork
• Coordinate background and driving record checks
• Keep candidates engaged until their first day
• Track why candidates drop out or decline offers

You do not need to evaluate advanced technical appliance-repair skills. Our Technical Manager handles the technical interview and makes the technical assessment.

What we're looking for

You should be comfortable spending a significant part of your day talking to people.

Strong spoken English is required. You should be confident on the phone, organized, persistent with follow-ups, and comfortable selling an opportunity rather than simply asking candidates a list of questions.

Previous recruiting experience is helpful, especially recruiting technicians, tradespeople, or other blue-collar positions, but it is not required. We can teach our recruiting process to someone with strong communication and sales skills.

How we measure success

Your main metric will be successful technicians hired who are still with the company after 90 days.

This is a full-time remote position supporting technician hiring across multiple U.S. markets.

Monthly salary: $1,500–$2,500 USD.
