Skilled Trades Recruiter

Field of Talent is building a Recruiting as a Service strike team focused on scaling technician hiring in the skilled trades. In this role, you will recruit electro-mechanical technicians end-to-end at volume, supporting active searches with clear scope and pipeline building while coordinating closely with hiring managers.

This position is remote with some travel in the Greater Boston/Lowell, MA area, including coverage at nearby client sites as needed. The team operates with shared sourcing tools and direct access to stakeholders, and recruiting is managed as a service judged on hires and outcomes.

What you’ll do

• Fill priority skilled-trades roles (electro-mechanical technicians) at volume by collaborating on and executing a recruitment strategy
• Deliver qualified, interested candidates that match the real requirements, and build enough top-of-funnel to help hiring events use hiring manager and candidate time efficiently
• Build and maintain a living pipeline of talent as searches progress
• Run each search with clear scope, timeline, and status updates so hiring managers know what is happening and what decision is next
• Improve offer-accept and start rates by qualifying pay, shift, location, credentials, and culture fit before presenting candidates
• Conduct active searches using targeted outreach, referrals, military networks, and trade networks
• Own skilled-trades searches for a specific client to help them dramatically scale technician recruitment
• Recruit end-to-end to support a customer scaling to meet manufacturing demand

Requirements

• Proven full-cycle recruiting experience in skilled trades, construction, AEC, industrial, or similar hands-on fields, not limited to corporate desk roles
• Ability to turn a messy requisition into must-haves, including licenses, tickets, tools, travel expectations, union versus open shop context, and jobsite performance criteria
• Demonstrated candidate pipelines built through calls, referrals, associations, job boards, and direct outreach, not inbound-only
• Clear, candid communication with hiring managers and candidates, including hard news on compensation, timeline, and fit
• Comfort owning recruiting metrics across submittals, interviews, offers, starts, and reasons searches stall
• High integrity with confidential pay, project, and candidate information
• US Citizenship required

Targeted skills and experience

• High-volume skilled trades recruitment
• Military and veteran recruitment experience
