Senior Construction Recruiter

Job Description

HITT is seeking a Construction Recruiter to join our growing recruitment team and support our expanding national footprint. This role will be based out of our Los Angeles regional office.

The Construction Recruiter will support full cycle recruiting efforts and manage candidates throughout the interview and selection process for positions across the organization, with a primary focus on core construction hiring within our Operations and Site Operations employee groups, as well as business unit resource functions as required.

With deep roots in the Washington, DC area and a rapidly expanding presence across the United States, HITT’s growth is driven by our clients and built on strong, lasting relationships with partners and subcontractors.

Today, our 2,200+ construction professionals deliver a full range of services, including base building construction, renovations, corporate interior fit-outs, service, and emergency work. With annual revenues of $13 billion, HITT is about more than construction—we are building dreams, shaping possibilities, and defining the places where people live, work, and connect.

• Assist the Recruiting Manager with talent pipeline development, employer branding activities, and recruiting metrics reporting.
• Help ensure hiring practices comply with federal and state employment laws, including EEO and OFCCP requirements, and act as a resource to teams across the organization.
