What are the responsibilities and job description for the Executive Search Headhunter position at AEC Resources?
Executive Search Headhunter
We are seeking an Executive Search Headhunter who excels at identifying, attracting, and engaging high-caliber talent through proactive outreach and relationship building.
This is not a sales role. This position is ideal for someone who loves the art of recruiting: investigating markets, talent mapping organizations, understanding candidate motivations, and guiding candidates through critical hiring decisions.
You will deliver executive-level and hard-to-fill placements across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
Why This Role Matters:
When AEC companies need strategic leadership or niche talent, they come to us.
Your work directly shapes organizations’ teams, influences careers, and impacts the future of engineering, architecture, and construction firms.
This role is ideal for someone who values:
- The art of candidate engagement
- Relationship-based recruiting over transactional outreach
- Precision, professionalism, and long-term placement success
What You’ll Do:
- Deliver compelling outreach tailored to passive candidates
- Proactively engage with targeted high-potential candidates
- Build and maintain relationships with top industry talent
- Conduct interviews to evaluate leadership, technical ability, and cultural alignment
- Manage the full recruiting lifecycle of executive and professional searches
- Maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and the highest ethical standards throughout every search
- Serve as a consultant to job candidates on talent trends, compensation data, and career options
What We’re Looking For:
- A recruiter who enjoys the candidate outreach and engagement process, not the sales
- Someone who is methodical, personable, persistent, and emotionally intelligent
- Experience with executive search, professional recruiting, or headhunting on the agency side
- Ability to synthesize information and present it clearly to job candidates
- Comfort working with mid to senior-level candidates
Qualifications:
- 3 years of experience in recruiting, executive search, or headhunting within a recruiting agency
- Proven ability to engage with passive candidates
- Strong writing and communication skills
- Integrity, professionalism, devotion to your network, and confidentiality are essential
