Who We Want On Our Team

Chesapeake Electric is seeking a high-performance Talent Acquisition Lead to enthusiastically recruit and hire top-tier service technicians.

This is not a passive recruiting role.

This is a sales-driven, performance-based position where success is measured by one thing:

👉 Hires.

The ideal candidate is competitive, relentless, and thrives in high-activity environments. You are comfortable reaching out, following up, and closing candidates who are not actively looking and may initially ignore you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Execute high-volume outbound recruiting through calls, texts, social platforms, and resume databases
• Build and manage a consistent pipeline of technician candidates
• Relentlessly follow up with applicants, no-shows, and “thinking about it” candidates
• Conduct phone screens and position Chesapeake Electric as a career move
• Drive urgency and secure interviews within 24–48 hours
• Ensure candidates show up prepared and committed
• Partner with leadership to move candidates quickly through the hiring process
• Track activity, pipeline, and hiring metrics weekly
• Continuously improve outreach strategies based on result
  
  

What You’ll Need To Be Successful Day One

• A shared commitment to our core values (L.I.G.H.T.)
• A competitive, results-driven mindset
• Proven experience in sales, outbound recruiting, or high-performance environments
• Confidence making high volumes of calls and outreach daily
• Strong follow-up discipline and persistence
• Ability to handle rejection without slowing down
• Excellent communication and influence skills
• Strong organizational skills and pipeline management
  
  

What Separates Top Performers In This Role

• You don’t wait for responses—you create them
• You follow up when others stop
• You are comfortable pushing for decisions
• You track your numbers and play to win
• You take ownership of results, not activity
