REQUIRED

for this position. We are specifically looking for someone who understands the challenges of finding and recruiting people in industries such as construction, roofing, HVAC, landscaping, maintenance, restoration, home services, or similar field-based trades. If your recruiting experience has primarily been corporate, administrative, professional, healthcare, or IT recruiting, this position is likely not the right fit. About the Role This is not traditional corporate recruiting. Ken's Gutters operates across multiple markets, and we need a recruiter who knows how to find field professionals where they actually are — not simply post a job advertisement and wait for applications. You will recruit both 1099 independent contractors and W-2 field employees, primarily for gutter cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and related exterior home services. You will be expected to actively source, contact, screen, and build relationships with qualified field professionals and develop creative ways to reach potential subcontractors who may not be actively searching on traditional job boards. Key Responsibilities Recruit 1099 subcontractors and W-2 field technicians across multiple markets. Proactively source blue-collar workers and skilled trades professionals. Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified subcontractors. Identify new sourcing channels and recruiting opportunities beyond traditional job boards. Use social media, online communities, referrals, networking, local outreach, and other sourcing methods to find qualified professionals. Contact prospective subcontractors directly and generate interest in working with Ken's Gutters. Screen candidates for relevant experience, equipment, reliability, professionalism, and suitability for the work. Conduct phone interviews and communicate effectively with English- and Spanish-speaking candidates. Coordinate onboarding of approved subcontractors and employees. Maintain accurate recruiting records and candidate pipelines. Work closely with our Operations team to prioritize recruiting needs by market. Follow up consistently with prospective contractors throughout the recruiting and onboarding process. Required Experience To be considered for this position, you must have previous recruiting or talent sourcing experience involving one or more of the following: Blue-collar workers Skilled trades Field service technicians Construction workers 1099 subcontractors Home-service professionals Maintenance or service technicians Experience recruiting in industries such as construction, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, restoration, property maintenance, electrical, appliance repair, pest control, janitorial services, logistics, or similar field-service industries is especially relevant. Candidates whose recruiting background is exclusively corporate, administrative, IT, healthcare, or other professional positions will not be considered unless they also have substantial blue-collar recruiting experience. What We're Looking For We're looking for a recruiter who is a problem solver, not someone who depends entirely on incoming applications.

You should be someone who:

Knows how to find proactively difficult-to-reach candidates. Is comfortable making outbound calls and approaching prospective contractors. Understands how blue-collar recruiting differs from corporate recruiting. Builds rapport easily with field professionals and tradespeople. Is persistent and follows up consistently. Is comfortable recruiting in multiple geographic markets simultaneously. Can work independently and take ownership of recruiting targets. Is comfortable using an ATS, recruiting platforms, social media, online research, and other technology to source candidates. Language Bilingual English/Spanish is strongly preferred. A significant portion of the field professionals we recruit are Spanish-speaking, so the ability to communicate professionally and confidently in both English and Spanish is a major advantage. Why Join Ken's Gutters? Ken's Gutters is a growing nationwide gutter cleaning company serving large property management companies across the United States. Our ability to grow depends on having reliable field professionals available in every market we serve. That makes this recruiting position a critical part of our operation. If you have real experience recruiting blue-collar talent, enjoy the challenge of finding people others can't find, and are comfortable picking up the phone and actively building a network of field professionals, we'd like to hear from you.
