Job Title: Senior Recruitment Consultant – Construction

Company: Reliance Impact Recruitment

About Reliance Impact Recruitment

Reliance Impact Recruitment is a specialized recruitment firm focused on four key verticals: Construction & Development, Accounting & Finance, Legal, and Human Resources. We are niche recruiters, not generalists. Our team understands the industries we recruit for, so both clients and candidates feel genuinely understood and supported.

Our purpose is to redefine recruitment and make the hiring journey as stress-free as possible for everyone involved. We are growing and looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to lead and grow our Construction & Development desk.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant – Construction, you will manage and grow a warm desk focused on roles across:

• Residential low-rise and high-rise developers
• General contractors (ICI and residential)
• Construction management and project delivery firms
• Construction-related services and consultants

You will work closely with the owner, playing a key role in building out our construction recruitment presence in Ontario and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

Client Development and Management

• Build, manage, and grow a portfolio of construction clients (developers, general contractors, construction management firms, consultants).
• Conduct discovery calls and meetings (virtual or in-person) to understand hiring needs, team structure, and company culture.
• Act as a trusted advisor on market trends, salary benchmarks, and hiring strategy.
• Negotiate terms, fees, and retainers in line with company standards.

Candidate Search and Delivery

• Manage mid to senior-level mandates end-to-end (project managers, site superintendents, estimators, coordinators, site staff, directors, etc.).
• Partner with our sourcing team to build strong and proactive talent pipelines.
• Screen, interview, and shortlist candidates, ensuring strong alignment with both the role and the company culture.
• Coach candidates throughout the recruitment cycle, including interview preparation, offer negotiation, resignation support, and onboarding follow-up.

Leadership and Ownership

• Take full ownership of your desk, including revenue generation and performance.
• Support and mentor junior team members or sourcers as needed.
• Provide input on improving internal processes, tools, and strategy as the firm grows.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of agency recruitment experience, ideally within Construction and Development or a closely related technical vertical.
• Proven billing track record and experience running a 360 desk or a senior 180 desk.
• Solid understanding of construction roles (project manager, superintendent, estimator, coordinator, site staff, leadership roles) and project delivery.
• Confident with business development: prospecting, outbound calls, and relationship-building.
• Strong communication skills, high emotional intelligence, and a consultative style.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you want ownership, accountability, and the chance to build something, not just “do a job.”

What We Offer

• Commission-only structure with high earning potential and no cap.
• Company benefits (details to be discussed in the interview process).
• Clear growth opportunities as the business continues to scale, including the ability to shape your desk and future team.
• Collaborative, supportive culture where ideas are heard and wins are celebrated.
• Direct access to leadership, quick decision-making, and an environment that rewards initiative.
