Senior Executive Recruiter

Next Level Exchange
Carmel, IN Full Time
POSTED ON 10/29/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/28/2026

GTR has worked exclusively in the electric utility industry since 2008, recruiting engineering and leadership talent across a highly specialized market.

We're looking for an experienced recruiter to own the candidate side of our active searches, from the first conversation through start date.

This is not a high-volume staffing role, and there is no new-business quota. Your focus is recruiting and developing passive talent. You'll also have a significant head start: 18 years of client relationships, hiring-manager trust, an established industry network, and a team that already knows this market.

The role is fully remote, with flexibility in how you manage your day. We measure results, not hours logged or whether there's a green dot next to your name.

What You'll Own

  • Engage experienced engineers, designers, and engineering leaders and turn sourced names into interested, qualified candidates

  • Lead in-depth recruiting conversations to assess technical experience, motivation, compensation, notice period, and counteroffer risk

  • Prepare strong candidate submittals, manage candidates through interviews, and debriefs

  • Own the closing process, including compensation pre-close, resignation planning, counteroffer protection, references, and confirmed start dates

  • Maintain disciplined follow-up and ensure every candidate in your pipeline has a clear next step

This is a phone first recruiting environment. You should be comfortable engaging passive candidates, navigating live objections, and making 40  outbound recruiting calls per week.

What Success Looks Like

We care about quality, consistency, and placements, not activity for activity's sake.

  • Target three strong candidate submittals per active search

  • Contribute to the firm's goal of two to three placements per month as you ramp

  • Build and maintain strong candidate relationships throughout the search process

What We're Looking For

  • 5  years of agency recruiting, executive search, or comparable technical recruiting experience

  • Demonstrated success proactively recruiting and engaging passive candidates

  • Strong phone skills and the ability to build credibility with experienced professionals

  • Clear, direct written communication and the ability to work independently

  • A track record of producing results in a remote environment

Experience in electric utility, power delivery, energy, or heavy engineering is preferred, particularly within substation, transmission, distribution, protection and controls, or power systems studies. Experience with engaged or retained search is also a plus. If you don't come directly from the utility market, that's not necessarily a dealbreaker. You will need to demonstrate that you can learn a specialized technical market quickly and build credibility with the people in it. High-volume light industrial or clerical staffing experience alone will not prepare someone for this role.

Why GTR

  • Established market. You're stepping into 18 years of relationships, industry knowledge, and a network of engineers and hiring leaders who know GTR.

  • Autonomy. We've operated remotely for years. Manage your day around your clients, candidates, and results.

  • Uncapped earning potential. This is a full-time W-2 position with a base salary plus uncapped commission on every placement you fill.

  • Room to grow. This role starts with ownership of candidate delivery. As you build market credibility, you'll have the opportunity to take on client relationships, run searches end to end, and help build the recruiting team around you.

We're a small organization by design. The person who succeeds in this role will have the opportunity to help shape what GTR becomes next!
