Executive Skilled Trades Recruiter

Executive Recruiter – Skilled Trades & Services Leadership

100% Remote | National Search | High Accountability

Work With Your Handz is a national recruiting firm specializing in leadership for the residential and commercial services industries— primarily HVAC, plumbing, and electrical for PE-backed platform companies. We partner with growing service organizations to place the leaders who drive performance, culture, and scale.

We are seeking an Executive Recruiter who thrives on execution, ownership, and results. This role is ideal for a corporate or agency recruiter who wants the flexibility of remote work while operating at a high professional standard—with real accountability and real upside.

The Role

This is an execution-focused executive recruiting role.

You will source, assess, and close senior-level talent while building long-term executive networks within the skilled trades and services space. Your work will involve a disciplined search strategy, deep candidate evaluation, coordination of multi-round interviews, and complex offer negotiations.

You may participate in select client conversations to refine search criteria and elevate the candidate experience, but your primary focus is delivery—making placements happen through persistence, judgment, and follow-through.

Because many of our candidates later become clients, professional communication, executive presence, and discretion are non-negotiable.

This role requires availability aligned with executive schedules, fluency with LinkedIn Recruiter and modern outreach sequencing, and the internal drive to own outcomes from start to finish.

• Building trusted relationships with high-caliber candidates nationwide

• Manage offer development and negotiations with professionalism and discretion

• Maintain accurate documentation and compliance throughout the hiring process

• Stay current on market trends, compensation benchmarks, and talent movement in the services industry

Requirements

• 5+ years of recruiting experience, ideally executive search and/or agency recruiting

• Proven success in placing managers and executives in skilled trades, residential services, commercial services, or the construction industry

• Mastery of LinkedIn Recruiter and modern outreach methodologies
