We need someone who understands how competitive skilled trades recruiting is. Great HVAC techs and plumbers aren't always applying to job postings — you have to find them, build relationships and get them interested in making a move.

You’ll support multiple businesses and work directly with General Managers and hiring leaders across the region. Every business is a little different, so you need to be able to manage different hiring needs, priorities and personalities while keeping everything moving.

If you know the trades, love sourcing and are comfortable going after passive candidates, we’d love to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

Manage full-cycle recruiting from sourcing through offer acceptance
Support multiple home services businesses throughout NY and CT
Recruit HVAC Technicians, Plumbers, Electricians, Drain Technicians, Installers, CSRs, Dispatchers, Sales Professionals, Managers and other home services positions
Proactively source passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, referrals, networking and industry relationships
Build relationships with trade schools, apprenticeship programs and other local talent sources
Partner directly with General Managers and hiring leaders to understand each business and its hiring needs
Screen candidates for experience, technical skills, licenses and certifications
Present qualified candidates to hiring managers and keep the interview process moving
Sell candidates on the opportunity, compensation, benefits, culture and career growth
Maintain accurate candidate records and recruiting activity in Lever
Manage multiple open requisitions and candidate pipelines across several businesses
Track pipeline activity, recruiting metrics and time-to-fill
Build strong relationships within the local skilled trades community

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience specifically within the skilled trades/home services industry
Recent experience recruiting residential HVAC and plumbing professionals
Lever ATS experience is required
Strong passive sourcing experience
Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and Indeed
Experience managing high-volume recruiting across multiple locations or businesses
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities at once
Comfortable working with different General Managers and adapting to the needs of each business
Familiarity with HVAC certifications and plumbing/electrical licensing is a plus
Comfortable picking up the phone and finding candidates rather than waiting for applicants
Must live in the NY/CT region
Ability to travel to businesses throughout the region as needed

Why Join Sila?

Competitive salary plus bonus opportunity
Medical, dental and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and paid holidays
Career growth with one of the fastest-growing home services organizations in the country
Opportunity to work directly with business leaders across multiple brands and make a real impact on their growth
