Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist - Remote

Role Overview

Advocate Construction is looking for a senior recruiter who can drive high-volume hiring for its expanding sales teams across six states.

The role sits with the Sales leadership team and requires an independent, fast-moving recruiting style.

This is a high-activity talent acquisition role centered on entry-level sales and field-based hiring. Instead of waiting for candidates to apply, you will actively source prospects, build a long-term talent pipeline, and move them into the CRM for ongoing nurturing.
