Are you energized by hard-to-fill positions and the challenge of finding great people?
We are looking for a dynamic, resourceful, and results-driven Skilled Trades Recruiter / HR Generalist who loves recruiting and takes pride in finding strong candidates for field positions in the roofing industry. This is an opportunity for a professional go-getter who enjoys the hunt, builds relationships, follows leads, and keeps working until the right person is found.
**This is not a “post-and-wait” recruiting role. **We need someone who is proactive, creative, persistent, and comfortable trying new recruiting methods to reach skilled tradespeople who may not be actively applying for jobs.
What You’ll Do
- Own the recruiting process for roofing field positions, including roofers, skilled mechanics, foremen, superintendents, and other construction-related roles.
- Proactively source candidates through job boards, referrals, networking, community outreach, trade schools, social media, and other creative recruiting channels.
- Write and post engaging job advertisements that attract qualified candidates.
- Screen applicants, conduct interviews, and identify strong candidates for hiring managers.
- Partner closely with managers to understand staffing needs, job requirements, and the skills needed for each opening.
- Build and maintain an active pipeline of candidates for current and future hiring needs.
- Research recruiting markets, new sourcing opportunities, and methods for improving applicant flow.
- Track recruiting activity, expenses, and market information, and provide recruiting updates as needed.
- Assist with new-hire orientation, onboarding, background checks, and other pre-employment requirements.
- Maintain accurate employee information in the HRIS and support other Human Resources functions as needed.
- Assist with employee relations, policies, leave administration, unemployment matters, HR projects, and other responsibilities in support of the HR Director.
Who We’re Looking For
- A professional who is passionate about recruiting and enjoys connecting people with career opportunities.
- A go-getter who is persistent, resourceful, and comfortable recruiting for hard-to-fill skilled-trade positions.
- Someone who takes pride in finding candidates instead of waiting for candidates to find us.
- A creative recruiter who is willing to try new approaches when traditional methods are not producing results.
- A strong communicator who can build rapport with field employees, applicants, managers, and executives.
- An organized professional who can manage multiple openings, priorities, and deadlines while following through consistently.
- A dependable team member who exercises sound judgment and handles confidential information appropriately.
Qualifications
- 3–4 years of excellent skilled-trades recruiting experience, preferably in construction, roofing, manufacturing, or another field-based environment.
- Experience proactively sourcing candidates for difficult-to-fill positions.
- Human Resources experience that supports the HR Generalist responsibilities of the role.
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field preferred.
- Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Experience with an HRIS or applicant tracking system
- Strong time-management, organizational, and prioritization skills.
- PHR or other Human Resources certification is a plus.
- Bilingual Spanish/English a plus
Why This Role Is Different
