We are looking for a proactive Talent Acquisition professional with strong recruitment agency or outsourcing experience, specializing in blue-collar and technical recruitment. In this fast-paced, high-volume role, you will take direct ownership of candidate sourcing, screening, and placement for skilled trade roles across various client sites. You will drive high-speed hiring operations for hands-on, field-based positions without relying on reactive applicants, ensuring seamless client delivery and operational backup support at all times.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Blue-Collar Recruitment: Drive full-cycle hiring (intake briefing, field/database sourcing, technical screening, interview scheduling, offer management, and site onboarding).
• Technical Sourcing & Pipeline Building: Actively build talent pools for technical trades (Electricians, Mechanical Technicians, Site Engineers, Maintenance Supervisors, Welders, and Operations staff).
• Client-Facing Operations: Communicate directly with external stakeholders to align on technical job specifications, candidate updates, and fast delivery timelines.
• High-Volume & Rapid Turnaround: Simultaneously manage 8–15+ open technical requisitions under tight deadlines while maintaining strict candidate qualification standards.
• Screening & Trade Verification: Conduct practical screening, verifying physical trade licenses, safety certifications, technical background checks, and availability for shift or field work.

• Pipeline Output: Minimum 3–4 verified candidates submitted per open requisition.
• Submission-to-Interview Rate: ≥ 80% relevance score based on technical skills and client criteria.
• SLA & Responsiveness: Under 12-hour response time for client inquiries and candidate updates.
• Deployment Retention: Minimize post-placement drop-outs through thorough vetting and expectation management.

Requirements

• Domain Expertise: Proven track record hiring blue-collar, skilled trade, and technical engineering profiles (e.g., Electricians, Technicians, Maintenance Staff, Field Engineers).
• High-Volume Execution: Demonstrated ability to manage multi-role, high-volume hiring pipelines concurrently.
• Sourcing Tactics: Proficiency using non-traditional sourcing channels (referral networks, field recruitment, localized job groups, community boards, and trade databases) alongside standard job platforms.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills for managing client interactions and candidate relations.

Preferred Background

• Exposure to industrial, manufacturing, construction, energy, or facilities management sectors.
• Deep familiarity with trade certifications, local labor laws, safety compliance standards, and shift work requirements.
• Hands-on experience using ATS platforms and candidate database management software.

Benefits
