Have you worked remotely and thrived in a fast-paced, high-demand environment? If you’re ready to help grow a national network of elite mobile technicians in one of our most active regions, we want to hear from you!

Proven sourcing ability — you know how to work and build boolean strings, and fill roles that get zero applicants
ATS experience required — any platform considered; Paradox or iCIMS experience is a plus
Remote work experience and the self-discipline that comes with it
Strong communicator: written, verbal, and when it counts — holding hiring managers accountable for feedback and follow-through
Comfortable working in ambiguity; you can improvise when there's no playbook
