Recruiter (Engineering)

Job Description

Job Description

There’s no doubt that recruiting is in a period of rapid innovation. Towards what though? At Matchfield, we believe each industry and profession will ultimately create its own employment matching system which will efficiently connect open jobs with qualified candidates whose work preferences match what the position and company offers. These matching systems are already being created in a number of industries. Matchfield is one of them. We intelligently connect in-demand talent with tough-to-fill roles in the consulting engineering industry, which is in sore need of more efficient talent sourcing (learn more () : Matchfield / launch). Matchfield’s employers and candidate database are growing rapidly as we scale this matching solution for the consulting engineering space. And that’s where you come in.

• You have experience (and love) proactively contacting candidates as an agency or corporate recruiter.
• You’re a matchmaker - objectively representing both sides to find great fits.
• You want a high-growth opportunity - personal growth, professional growth and company growth. You’ll fit right in with Matchfield’s recruitment delivery team. In this role your goal is to efficiently create matches between employers & interested candidates. This kind of recruiting is very different (and we think much more fulfilling) : Matching differs from corporate recruiting because you don’t represent just one employer. If a candidate isn’t a fit for one job, they could fit another. Day-to-day, this role is all about :
• Proactively calling and contacting candidates whose skills & experience are a fit for a particular or in-demand position.
• Deeply understanding the requirements that employers are looking for.
• Managing multiple jobs and clients at the same time (which will require excellent time management, prioritization, and high pace).
• Discussing candidate work preferences and evaluating their fit, while providing a GREAT candidate experience.
• Becoming an expert in the use of our internal matching system and helping to improve its structure, processes and efficiency.  Working at Matchfield (is nearly unbelievable) : Matchfield operates as a wholly owned separate division of the Ian Martin Group ()  – one of Canada’s most reputable and progressive recruitment companies, with about 350 employees around Canada, the US, and India. This year we were recognized as the #2 mid-sized company on the Best Workplaces in Canada ( -workplaces / best-workplaces-in-canada-medium) , and 96% of our employees agreed with the statement that “this is a great place to work”. The Ian Martin Group is also a certified B Corp ()  (ever heard of that?). B stands for “benefit”, which means that our purpose goes beyond profits as we operate to benefit all our stakeholders and meet high standards of social and environmental impact. Also…and this part might sound nuts… along with our sister company Fitzii (who we operate together with) we’re a self-managed team ( -management-teal-practices / ) . That’s right – no formal managers. Instead, everyone has radical freedom, and takes radical responsibility, for themselves and the business. We believe self-management is the way of the future and are one of the few organizations in Canada pioneering this paradigm. Work with us and you’ll be at the forefront of organizational evolution. Practical Stuff : This is a full-time, permanent position with target salary of $55,000 to $65,000, depending on your experience, plus group benefits, RSP matching, and lots (and lots) of fun perks. Because we’re self-managed we work on 100% salary, and after thorough on-boarding you are able to set your own pay via our Compensation Advice Process. This position works from our beautiful new head office in Oakville (close to the GO Station) or our Toronto office. Desired Qualifications :
• Experience as an agency or corporate recruiter which required a high volume of proactive candidate outreach (ideally for technical roles).
• Experience in a high-volume recruitment role, managing a large number of open jobs at once.
• Proven experience winning over candidates and building long-term  relationships based on trust and good faith.
• Education or working experience in engineering (ideally consulting engineering).
• Experience working at a fast-growing startup or small company (an asset). How to Apply : Our online application will give you the option to apply to this role as a complete person – not just a resume. The application will assess your qualifications, personality traits and workplace preferences, and should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After submitting, you'll receive an email inviting you to log in and view your assessment results. We strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, visible minorities, indigenous peoples, people identifying as LGBTQ2SI, veterans, and people with disabilities. If we can make this easier through accommodation in the recruitment process, please contact us using the “Help” button. We will review applications, with priority given to those who have completed the assessment and look forward to hearing from you. P.S. Want a tip? We aren't too fussed about your resume, but we care A LOT about your cover letter. We want to know why you're excited about the opportunity to join Matchfield and the Ian Martin Group, and why you think you’d enjoy and be good at the job (please don’t bother sending in a generic cover letter).
