GTR has worked exclusively in the electric utility industry since 2008, recruiting engineering and leadership talent across a highly specialized market.
We're looking for an experienced recruiter to own the candidate side of our active searches, from the first conversation through start date.
Engage experienced engineers, designers, and engineering leaders and turn sourced names into interested, qualified candidates
Lead in-depth recruiting conversations to assess technical experience, motivation, compensation, notice period, and counteroffer risk
Prepare strong candidate submittals, manage candidates through interviews, and debriefs
Own the closing process, including compensation pre-close, resignation planning, counteroffer protection, references, and confirmed start dates
Maintain disciplined follow-up and ensure every candidate in your pipeline has a clear next step
This is a phone first recruiting environment. You should be comfortable engaging passive candidates, navigating live objections, and making 40+ outbound recruiting calls per week.
We care about quality, consistency, and placements, not activity for activity's sake.
Target three strong candidate submittals per active search
Contribute to the firm's goal of two to three placements per month as you ramp
Build and maintain strong candidate relationships throughout the search process
5+ years of agency recruiting, executive search, or comparable technical recruiting experience
Demonstrated success proactively recruiting and engaging passive candidates
Strong phone skills and the ability to build credibility with experienced professionals
Clear, direct written communication and the ability to work independently
A track record of producing results in a remote environment
Experience in electric utility, power delivery, energy, or heavy engineering is preferred, particularly within substation, transmission, distribution, protection and controls, or power systems studies. Experience with engaged or retained search is also a plus. If you don't come directly from the utility market, that's not necessarily a dealbreaker. You will need to demonstrate that you can learn a specialized technical market quickly and build credibility with the people in it. High-volume light industrial or clerical staffing experience alone will not prepare someone for this role.
Established market. You're stepping into 18 years of relationships, industry knowledge, and a network of engineers and hiring leaders who know GTR.
Autonomy. We've operated remotely for years. Manage your day around your clients, candidates, and results.
Uncapped earning potential. This is a full-time W-2 position with a base salary plus uncapped commission on every placement you fill.
Room to grow. This role starts with ownership of candidate delivery. As you build market credibility, you'll have the opportunity to take on client relationships, run searches end to end, and help build the recruiting team around you.
We're a small organization by design. The person who succeeds in this role will have the opportunity to help shape what GTR becomes next!
