We’re looking for a hands‑on recruiter who understands the trades and knows how to connect with hardworking people. The Trades Talent Acquisition Partner is all about building real relationships, earning trust, and bringing skilled tradespeople onto a team they can be proud of.

This role goes beyond posting jobs and filling seats.

• Handle full‑cycle recruiting for plumbing, pipe fitting, welding, and service roles.
• Work directly with hiring managers to understand what skills are needed in the field.
• Keep a strong pipeline of candidates and stay organized on priorities.

• Proactively source tradespeople through job boards, networking, trade schools, apprenticeships, and referrals.
• Build relationships with technical schools and training programs.
• Attend job fairs, industry events, and local trade meetups.

• Talk with candidates early and often—no ghosting.
• Screen and interview for both skill level and attitude.
• Set clear expectations around the work, culture, and growth opportunities.

• Visit job sites regularly to talk with crews and understand what’s really happening.
• Bring feedback from the field back into recruiting so we keep hiring the right people.

• Partner with HR to ensure smooth onboarding.
• Check in with new hires at 30, 60, and 90 days.
• Help spot issues early and improve retention. Know the Trades
