Construction Recruiter

Ambassador Group Is Hiring: Recruiter / Senior Recruiter

Ambassador Group is seeking a senior recruiter whose core strength is opening doors-identifying, engaging, and earning trust with high-performing, passive leaders through tenacious, creative, and deeply human recruiting outreach.

This is not an applicant-driven role. This is not a “manage inbound and move fast” environment.

This role is for a hunter-someone who takes pride in starting conversations where none existed, sustaining momentum through silence, and converting curiosity into meaningful career moves.

This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates in the United States with reliable high-speed internet.

Compensation: $50K-$70K draw + commission, with uncapped upside once the draw is met.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You may be a strong fit if:

• You have repeatedly filled senior leadership roles ($160K+) by going out into the market
• You are energized by identifying the right person-not just the available one
• You enjoy the puzzle of relevance, timing, and message crafting
• You know how to follow up thoughtfully, persist professionally, and stay present without being transactional
• You are frustrated by roles where recruiting means reacting instead of pursuing

At Ambassador Group, we believe the most meaningful matches start with earned conversations-not job applications. You will be supported by a team, but the hunt is yours.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Recruiter at Ambassador Group, you will:

• Originate candidate pipelines through targeted, creative human outreach to passive senior leaders
• Research, map, and pursue specific individuals-not generic personas
• Craft outreach that sparks curiosity and trust, not mass responses
• Sustain long-cycle pursuit through disciplined follow-up and re-engagement
• Initiate confidential career conversations with people who were not planning to move
• Conduct deep, consultative Get-To-Know-You (GTKY) conversations to uncover motivators, misalignments, and readiness
• Guide candidates through interview strategy, preparation, negotiation, and transition
• Present candidates to clients with clear narrative framing around impact, leadership, and long-term fit

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

To be explicit, this role is not:

• Managing a high volume of inbound applicants
• Moving candidates quickly through a transactional funnel
• Matching resumes to job descriptions
• Dependent on job postings to generate results

Success here comes from initiative, persistence, and judgment.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role is intentionally designed for someone who:

• Has a demonstrated track record of hunting and closing $160K+ matches
• Is comfortable with ambiguity and long timelines
• Enjoys earning responses rather than expecting them
• Thinks about recruiting as market engagement, not task completion
• Wants to focus on candidate origination and advisory work-not being a solo one-person agency

HARD SKILLS

• outreach to passive, senior-level talent (email, phone, LinkedIn)
• Market mapping and targeted pursuit strategies
• Executive interview preparation and compensation negotiation
• Strategic candidate positioning and storytelling
• Applicant tracking systems (Crelate preferred)
• Clear, persuasive written communication

SOFT SKILLS

• Tenacious: You follow up with intention and discipline
• Curious: You dig for alignment beneath surface interest
• High EQ: You earn trust with people who didn’t ask to be recruited
• Strategic: You know when to press, pause, or reframe
• Accountable: You own outcomes, not just activity
