Full description
Step into an established book of business- Warm clients, a real pipeline, and a desk that's yours to run.
SkyWater Search Partners is looking to add an experienced Recruiter to our Engineering & Construction practice. This is a unique opportunity to step into an evolving market with an existing book of business, while having the autonomy to build, grow, and shape your own niche within the Engineering & Construction space.
What You'll Do:
• Run a full desk split roughly 50/50 between client development and candidate recruiting
• Hunt for new business, build relationships with Engineering & Construction leaders, and pick up new jobs.
• Identify, source, and place top engineering and construction talent for clients across the market
• Act as a true talent partner to clients — consulting on hiring strategy, not just filling reqs
Who You Are:
• Recruiting experience with at least 3 years of recruiting experience under your belt
• Open on desk type, too: corporate/in-house, half-desk agency, or full agency recruiting backgrounds are all welcome
• Manufacturing, engineering, or construction recruiting experience is a nice-to-have, not a requirement — we care more about how you operate than which industry you've placed into before
• Self-motivated and results-driven; you care about outcomes, not activity metrics
• Excited by the idea of an established starting point with real room to build something of you
What Sets Us Apart:
• Unlimited Earning Potential: One of the most competitive compensation structures in the market, including uncapped commission — earn as much as you're driven to achieve.
• Technology & Marketing Tools: Every recruiter is equipped with AI tools, a LinkedIn Recruiter license, and a fully integrated Bullhorn ATS.
• Training & Mentorship: Hands-on training, a structured onboarding program, assigned mentors, monthly company-wide trainings, and an open-door policy for ongoing support.
• Referred Revenue Opportunities: Collaboration is core to our success- earn commission on revenue you refer across the organization.
• Flexibility: A hybrid work model with coordinated in-office days, unlimited PTO, and a high-trust environment that promotes autonomy and accountability.
• Culture: Authentic, collaborative, and fun- quarterly meetings, happy hours, holiday parties, and family events. We also give back through community initiatives like Feed My Starving Children, Adopt-a-Highway, and Smile Network.
