Construction Recruiter

Position Overview 

We are a construction and specialty contracting company looking for an experienced Recruiter to manage the full recruitment cycle for office, administrative, and remote-eligible roles across the organization. This position works closely with hiring managers and our talent sourcer to move qualified candidates efficiently through the pipeline — from application review and phone screening through offer issuance and onboarding handoff. 

This is a supporting role in a structured hiring function: you conduct independent phone screens and provide hiring managers with well-documented recommendations, but the hiring decision remains theirs. Compliance is everything in this role. Demonstrated working knowledge of US employment law and EEO-compliant interviewing practices is the single most important qualification — not optional, not preferred, required. 

You will manage a focused workload of 2 to 4 open requisitions at any given time, keeping each one moving with organized records, timely candidate communication, and clean documentation from first contact through close. 

Key Responsibilities 

Application Review & Candidate Management 

• Review, process, and disposition incoming applications across all assigned requisitions 

• Keep candidate records accurate and current in the applicant tracking system — every action documented as it happens 

• Evaluate and advance candidates handed off by the talent sourcer, maintaining consistent standards across all sources 

• Maintain requisition tracking and report on pipeline status, time-to-fill, and screen-to-interview conversion on a regular basis 

Phone Screening 

• Conduct independent phone screens using role-specific criteria developed in coordination with hiring managers 

• Apply consistent question sets across every candidate for a given requisition — no variation that could create compliance exposure 

• Document screen results accurately and completely for every candidate evaluated 

• Make clear, well-supported advancement or declination decisions at the screen stage based on documented criteria 

Interview Coordination & Hiring Manager Support 

• Schedule and coordinate interviews between candidates and hiring managers, managing calendar logistics and sending confirmations to all parties 

• Provide hiring managers with written screen summaries, side-by-side candidate comparisons, and clear recommendations — while leaving the hiring decision entirely to them 

• Respond promptly to hiring manager requests for candidate information, pipeline updates, or documentation 

Candidate Communication 

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all candidates throughout the process — status updates, interview logistics, and timely, professional dispositions for those not moving forward 

• No candidate goes without a response — every person who enters the pipeline receives a clear, professional communication at every stage 

• Represent the company well in every interaction, whether advancing or declining a candidate 

Offer Letters & Pre-Employment 

• Prepare and issue offer letters using company-approved templates, only after receiving written authorization from the hiring manager 

• Coordinate pre-employment steps and hand off accepted candidates cleanly to the onboarding team 

• Ensure offer documentation is complete, accurate, and filed correctly 

Compliance & EEO Practices 

This is non-negotiable. Every candidate interaction must be defensible. 

• Apply US employment law and EEO-compliant practices in every candidate interaction without exception 

• Use consistent question sets, document rationale for all advancement and declination decisions, and make no prohibited inquiries at any stage 

• Flag any compliance concern, unusual candidate situation, or ambiguous hiring manager request to the Recruitment Manager immediately — do not resolve it independently 

• Ensure every requisition can withstand a compliance review because the process was applied evenly and recorded as it happened 

Required Qualifications 

• 3 or more years of recruiting experience including candidate screening, interview coordination, and applicant management 

• Demonstrated working knowledge of US hiring law and EEO-compliant interviewing practices — this is the single most important qualification for this role 

• Excellent spoken and written English — confident and professional conducting phone screens with US-based candidates 

• Hands-on experience with an applicant tracking system and disciplined, accurate data entry habits 

• Availability to work a consistent daily overlap with Arizona business hours (MST) 

• Reliable high-speed internet, a quiet dedicated workspace, a quality headset, and a backup internet or power plan 

• Strong organizational skills, proactive follow-through, and a habit of documenting decisions as they happen 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Prior recruiting experience supporting US-based employers — US recruitment experience is highly preferred due to the compliance requirements of this role 

• Full-cycle recruiting experience from application intake through offer acceptance 

• Construction, skilled trades, or specialty contracting recruiting background 

• Experience recruiting for office, administrative, and professional roles in a corporate or agency environment 

What Success Looks Like 

• Hiring managers consistently receive short lists of qualified, well-documented candidates without having to chase for information 

• No candidate goes without a response — ever 

• Every requisition can withstand a compliance review because the screening process was applied evenly and recorded as it happened 

• The pipeline is always current, the ATS is always accurate, and the Recruitment Manager is never surprised by a gap or a delay
