Skilled Trades Search Consultant

Skilled Trades Search Consultant | Direct Hire The Challenge: Are You the Best in the Trades? We aren’t looking for a generalist. We need a powerhouse recruiter who speaks the language of the shop floor and the boardroom. If you are a self-starter who gets a rush from every signed offer and gains momentum with every placement, you’ll find your tribe here.

This is a high-impact, hybrid role for a consultant who treats their desk like their own business. To ensure you are fully integrated into our high-performance standards, the first 4 months are based full-time in-office, transitioning to a hybrid model once you have mastered the desk.

How You Will Drive Results You aren’t just "filling jobs"—you are a strategic partner to industrial leaders. You will own the full 360-degree recruitment cycle, identifying elite talent (Millwrights, CNC Machinists, Electricians) and matching them with companies that need their expertise to stay operational.

Your Performance DNA

• The Momentum Builder: You don’t slow down after a win; you use that energy to close the next three. You are driven by exceeding personal GP targets.

• The Skilled Trades Expert: You know how to headhunt passive talent who isn't looking at job boards.

• The Consultant Mindset: You don’t just take orders; you negotiate fees, advise on market rates, and influence the hiring process to ensure success.

Why Randstad?

• Pay for Performance: A transparent, competitive commission structure that rewards your hustle.

• Elite Culture: An environment where "good enough" is never the standard.

• Growth Path: Global resources with the agility of a boutique firm to fuel your career.

Responsibilities

Here is a high-impact, "hunter-focused" list of responsibilities that maintains the aggressive, professional tone of the rewritten job description.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Aggressive Business Development: Proactively hunt and sign new manufacturing and industrial accounts. You are expected to negotiate competitive placement fees and build a robust portfolio of high-value clients.

• Precision Headhunting: Master the art of the "cold reach." You will dive deep into specialized networks to identify and flip passive, top-tier trades talent that isn't found on job boards.

• Total Desk Ownership: Manage the high-velocity, 360-degree lifecycle from initial intake and fee negotiation to candidate submittal, interview coaching, and final offer acceptance.

• Strategic Pipeline Engineering: Maintain a "ready-to-go" network of Journeymen, Leads, and Technicians, ensuring you are always three steps ahead of your clients' next hiring crisis.

• Counter-Offer Insulation: Expertly manage the closing process, pre-closing candidates at every stage to mitigate counter-offers and ensure high-integrity placement success.

• KPI & Revenue Mastery: Take full accountability for your metrics. You will use activity targets (calls, submittals, and interviews) as a roadmap to consistently crush your personal GP and billing goals.
