Build and maintain strong relationships with hiring managers and business stakeholders
Drive recruitment campaigns for project‑specific staffing efforts
Own the offer and negotiation process in collaboration with leadership
Maintain candidate records and pipelines in the ATS with attention to detail and compliance
Qualifications
3+ years of high‑volume agency recruiting experience, preferably in an agency or high‑volume/staffing environment
Proven track record recruiting in construction, mission‑critical, industrial, commercial, or MEP‑related sectors
Comfortable with cold calling and outbound prospecting strategies
Strong sourcing skills using Boolean searches, LinkedIn Recruiter, and other proactive outreach strategies
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills—you know how to build trust fast
Experience managing fast‑paced requisitions and meeting aggressive hiring goals
Proficiency in applicant tracking systems and CRM tools
Preferred
Experience recruiting for hyperscale data center projects or mission‑critical environments
Familiarity with construction safety certifications and trades licensure (OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, Journeyman licenses, etc.)
Previous experience working with Veteran hiring programs or diverse workforce initiatives
Why Join Overwatch
Contribute to some of the most complex and impactful construction projects in the country
Join a growing, agile team that values ownership and hustle
