Talent Acquisition Partner

As a Talent Acquisition Partner at Southland Industries, you will play a vital role in our company's growth by identifying, sourcing, and engaging top talent to join our team. You will collaborate closely with Talent Acquisition leadership and hiring managers to understand staffing needs and develop effective recruiting strategies to attract qualified candidates. The ideal candidate will possess construction recruiting experience, excellent communication skills, a strong ability to multitask, and a passion for connecting talented individuals with exciting career opportunities.

This is a remote role covering full-cycle recruiting for an assigned business unit, division, or specialty, with expectations to flex to other recruiting needs across the business as assigned.

The Talent Acquisition Partner would ideally be based in the Pacific Time Zone since the stakeholder group supported is our Northern and Southern California Divisions. This would be a work-from-home position with occasional travel to our Corporate CA offices, an annual talent acquisition strategy session, and various company events.
