Business Development Recruiter - US Construction

About the Role:
JBK Search is a US-based executive search firm with over 26 years of experience placing high-impact talent in the heavy civil and construction industry. We work with general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and civil infrastructure companies across the United States.

We are looking for a driven, articulate Business Development Recruiter to work US business hours and serve as the frontline voice of JBK Search.

Responsibilities:
- Identifying construction companies with active hiring needs.
- Connecting directly with their decision-makers to set qualified appointments for our lead recruiter.

Compensation:
- This role pays an hourly base plus performance commission.
- The base covers your stability.
- The commission rewards your results.
- Strong performers consistently earn $1,500–$2,500+ USD per month.

What You Will Do:
- Research US construction companies to identify active hiring needs using LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and job boards.
- Identify the right hiring authority at each company, typically a VP of Operations, Director of Construction, or C-suite executive.
- Conduct professional outbound calls and send compelling LinkedIn and email messages to open conversations.
- Qualify opportunities and set confirmed appointments for our lead recruiter.
- Track all outreach and outcomes in RecruiterFlow ATS with clean, accurate notes.
- Build and maintain a growing pipeline of warm construction company relationships.

What We Are Looking For:
- Fluent, professional English, written and spoken (near-native preferred).
- Experience in outbound sales, B2B cold outreach, appointment setting, or business development.
- Confidence and poise when speaking with senior US executives; you do not back down from a gatekeeper.
- Strong research instincts; you can find the right person at a company without being told exactly where to look.
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
- Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or similar prospecting tools is a strong plus.
- Recruiting or construction industry experience is a bonus, not required.
