Recruitment Consultant (Construction)

270 Recruitment Desk | Remote (Ontario) | Future Growth Opportunity

Help Build Something Exceptional.

Blackridge Search Group is a boutique executive search firm specializing exclusively in construction recruitment across Canada, with expansion into the U.S. already underway.

We're not hiring because someone resigned.

We're hiring because we're building for the future.

While this isn't an immediate opening, we're looking to connect with experienced recruiters who want to play a meaningful role in the growth of a company from the ground up.

If you're entrepreneurial, relationship-driven, and take genuine pride in the reputation you've built, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.

About the Role

This is a 270 recruitment desk.

You'll be responsible for developing client relationships, winning new business, managing searches, and delivering an exceptional experience for both clients and candidates.

This is not a high-volume, KPI-driven environment.

It's a business built on trust, credibility, and long-term partnerships.

You'll have the autonomy to build your desk while helping shape the future of Blackridge Search Group.

What You'll Do

• Develop and grow relationships with General Contractors, Developers, Construction Managers, and Specialty Contractors.
• Generate new business through networking, referrals, and strategic business development.
• Manage retained and contingency searches from intake through successful placement.
• Interview, assess, and advise senior construction professionals.
• Act as a trusted recruitment partner to both clients and candidates.
• Build long-term relationships that generate repeat business and referrals.
• Contribute ideas that improve our business, brand, and client experience.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in experienced recruiters who can demonstrate real results - not simply years in the industry.

The ideal person has:

• Proven success in agency recruitment, ideally in a fully remote environment.
• Experience managing a profitable recruitment desk.
• Strong business development and client relationship skills.
• The ability to consistently generate new opportunities.
• Experience succeeding in a remote or highly autonomous environment.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• High integrity, professionalism, and accountability.

Construction recruitment experience is strongly preferred.

Recruiters from engineering, manufacturing, industrial, architecture, commercial real estate, or other technical recruitment sectors are also encouraged to apply.

During our conversations, we'll discuss the business you've built, your approach to developing clients, the markets you've worked in, and the measurable results you've achieved.

What Success Looks Like

You don't wait for jobs to come to you.

You create opportunities.

You enjoy speaking with clients.

You ask thoughtful questions.

You become a trusted advisor instead of simply another recruiter.

Your clients answer your calls because you've earned their trust.

Your candidates recommend you because you've built lasting relationships.

Compensation

We believe exceptional recruiters should share in the success they create.

We offer:

• Competitive base salary
• Uncapped commission
• Performance-based earning potential
• Flexible remote work
• The opportunity to grow alongside the business

Compensation will reflect experience, previous performance, and the value you bring to the team.

Why Blackridge?

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than another recruiting job.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Help build a respected executive search firm from an early stage.
• Work directly with the founder.
• Influence processes, strategy, and future growth.
• Build meaningful client relationships without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Focus on quality over activity metrics.
• Work in an environment built on trust, autonomy, and professionalism.

We believe the best recruiters thrive when they're trusted - not micromanaged.

Timing

We're intentionally building relationships before we hire.

If you're an experienced recruiter who wants to be part of a growing company with ambitious plans and a long-term vision, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Exceptional recruiters don't wait for the perfect opportunity - they help create it. If that sounds like you, we'd love to connect.
