Recruiter

Construction is digitizing on a deadline. 92% of construction firms can't fill the roles they need, the industry is short roughly 349,000 workers this year and 456,000 next, and contractors are buying software, robotics, and reality capture to close a gap that hiring alone can't. Every one of those vendors is scaling a go-to-market and engineering team at the same time — and most of them don't know how to hire for it.That's the desk. Eddins Search Group is hiring a Recruiter to run full-cycle search in construction technology: the enterprise AEs, solutions engineers, implementation leads, product managers, and engineers who build and sell the tools running today's jobsites.You'll work from our Raleigh office two days a week and run your desk the rest of the time. Base salary plus uncapped per-placement commission — the ceiling here is set by how well you work the market, not by a band.Why this niche is worth buildingContech sits between two candidate pools that rarely overlap: people who understand software, and people who understand how a building actually goes up. The recruiters who can speak both languages are scarce, and clients pay for them. The desk compounds — every search teaches you the map, and year three is worth several times year one.What you'll doRun full-cycle search: intake, market map, outbound, submittal, interview management, offer, closeOwn client relationships end to end — take the req, calibrate the shortlist, push back when the spec doesn't match the market, and become the person they call before they post the jobDevelop new business across contech vendors: project management and preconstruction platforms, BIM/VDC, estimating, reality capture, jobsite hardware, fleet and equipment tech, and the firms buying all of itSource proactively.
