The Opportunity
- We have 50+ open roles, with more opening soon. Most are Property Engineers: turn techs, general maintenance, HVAC, and plumbing. We also have occasional senior construction searches. We're looking for an independent recruiter who can source, screen, and close skilled-trades candidates at high volume.
- This is an outcome-based engagement. You set your own schedule and approach, and you're paid for every qualifying hire. Strong performers may be considered for a full-time employee role as our business needs evolve.
What You'll Do
- Source and engage trades and maintenance candidates through job boards, referrals, trade networks, social media, and direct outreach
- Screen candidates against role requirements, including a truck or van, own tools, a valid driver's license, and trade skills
- Guide candidates through our hiring process: schedule interviews, coordinate with hiring managers, and close offers
- Keep candidate status current in our ATS
- Follow our hiring, background check, and equal-opportunity standards on every candidate
What You Bring
- Proven experience recruiting for trades, construction, or maintenance roles
- Single-family rental or residential property management experience is a strong plus
- Experience with high-volume hiring of hourly and skilled workers
- Comfort with cold outreach and sourcing candidates with little online presence
- Familiarity with an ATS and Indeed
- Ability to work independently, hit your own targets, and communicate clearly with hiring managers
- Your own equipment (laptop, phone) and sourcing resources
Compensation
Per qualifying hire, by role:
Role
Fee
Turn techs and general maintenance
$1,000
HVAC, plumbing, and senior technicians
$1,500
Senior construction roles
$2,500
- Fees may increase on roles that have been open for an extended period.
- Paid in two installments: $250 after the hire's start date, with the remainder paid after 90 days of continued employment.
- If a hire leaves before 90 days (other than for no-fault business reasons such as a role elimination), the first installment may be offset against future amounts owed to you.
- A qualifying hire is a candidate who starts work, meets all role requirements (including vehicle, tools, and license), and clears our background screening. Full terms are in the contractor agreement.
- No cap on earnings. High volume. Quick hiring (we are looking to hire rapidly - 1st screening to offer can happen extremely fast for qualified candidates)
