Talent Acquisition Specialist

Parkway Construction • Lewisville, TX

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Parkway Construction is a commercial general contractor building projects across the country. Our mission is simple: Deliver Excellent Projects and Develop Excellent People. We believe great companies are built by great people, and we're intentional about who we bring onto our team. Our culture is performance-driven, values-focused, built around our core values of Integrity, Trust, and Respect. We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who shares that mindset. This isn't a high-volume recruiting role, and we're not looking for someone who wants to sit behind a computer all day posting jobs and waiting for applications. Although you will do some of that ;-) We're looking for a recruiter who hunts. Someone who enjoys finding great people who aren't necessarily looking for a job, starting conversations, building relationships in the market, and ultimately bringing high-impact talent to Parkway. You'll own recruiting for positions across our organization, with a significant focus on construction operations, including Project Managers, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Preconstruction/Estimating professionals, and other key positions. At Parkway, quality matters more than volume.

Requirements

• 3+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience preferred.
• Experience proactively sourcing and recruiting passive candidates.
• Comfortable picking up the phone and initiating conversations with people you don't know.
• Strong relationship-building and networking skills.
• Naturally curious: you want to understand what someone has actually accomplished, not just what's written on their résumé.
• Strong judgment and ability to assess both technical experience and cultural fit.
• Excellent communication and follow-up.
• Organized enough to manage multiple searches without sacrificing candidate experience.
• Comfortable working directly with senior leaders and hiring managers.
• Willing to challenge a hiring manager when necessary rather than simply taking an order.

Nice To Haves

• Construction, engineering, architecture, real estate, or other professional recruiting experience is a plus.
• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent professional experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the recruiting process from initial sourcing through accepted offer and onboarding handoff.
• Proactively identify and recruit passive candidates through LinkedIn, phone calls, email, networking, referrals, and industry relationships.
• Build long-term talent pipelines for critical construction positions.
• Develop relationships with strong candidates before we necessarily have an immediate opening.
• Conduct initial candidate conversations and evaluate experience, career goals, compensation expectations, and cultural fit.
• Coordinate and participate in Parkway's consensus hiring process with hiring managers and leadership.
• Partner closely with operations leaders to understand their teams, upcoming needs, and the type of talent that succeeds at Parkway.
• Maintain consistent candidate communication and create an excellent candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
• Manage interview scheduling, feedback, references, offers, and pre-employment processes.
• Maintain accurate recruiting activity and candidate information within our ATS.
• Support university recruiting, career fairs, internships, and early-career talent initiatives.
