Director of Talent Acquisition

Why This Role Exists

UJAMAA is a growing general contractor in the Mid-West and South-East region. Like many firms at our stage, we’ve relied too heavily on external recruiters.

We’re bringing recruiting in-house to build a sustainable talent pipeline across UJAMAA and UJAMAA SE, with a focus on both experienced hires and early-career talent.

You’ll own recruiting. Period.

​

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain pipelines for:
  
  • Project Managers
  • Superintendents
  • Project / Field Engineers
  • Admin roles
• Develop college and early-career recruiting
• Source, screen, and qualify candidates directly
• Partner with executives to close candidates quickly
• Build referral and alumni pipelines
• Control when (and if) agencies are used
• Track recruiting metrics: cost-per-hire, pipeline depth, agency reduction

This is a pipeline-building role, not reactive posting.

​

What This is NOT

You will not handle:

• HR policy
• Employee relations
• Benefits, payroll, or compliance
• Culture programs

This role is recruiting only.

​

Who This is For

You’re a fit if you:

• Recruit in construction / AEC
• Know how to hire PMs and Supers without agencies
• Build pipelines, not just fill reqs
• Can push hiring managers to make decisions
• Want flexibility without losing influence

​

Structure & Comp

• Part-time: 20–25 hrs/week
• Remote-friendly
• 12-month contract (renewable)
• $80–$95/hr + performance bonus tied to:
• Reduced recruiter spend
• Successful internal hires
• Pipeline health

​

How Success is Measured

• External recruiter usage <15%
• Cost-per-hire reduced 50–70%
• Active candidate bench for priority roles
• Early-career pipeline that converts and sticks

If you’re tired of agency churn or bloated HR roles—and want recruiting treated like a business function—this role is worth a conversation.
