Recruiter, Texas

Job Description:

HITT Contracting is seeking a relationship-driven and highly organized Recruiter to support talent acquisition across our Texas operations. This position is ideally based in our Dallas office, with flexibility to sit in our Houston or Austin office, and will partner closely with business leaders across the state to recruit the talent that supports one of HITT's fastest-growing regions. The role reports to a Regional Recruiting Manager and serves as a trusted recruiting partner to operational leaders throughout Texas.

As HITT continues to expand across Texas, recruiting plays a critical role in supporting business growth, project execution, and long-term workforce planning. This role supports hiring across our Dallas, Houston, and Austin core markets, as well as project teams throughout rural Texas and other remote areas of the country aligned with Texas operations. Success requires balancing day-to-day hiring demands with proactive talent pipeline development across a geographically diverse and highly competitive market.

This is an associate-level recruiting role best suited for someone looking to deepen their experience within a fast-paced, high-performing environment. The role requires strong ownership, initiative, and sound judgment while managing full-cycle recruiting across multiple concurrent searches. Responsibilities span the full recruiting lifecycle from sourcing passive talent through offer negotiation and hiring execution while maintaining HITT's high standards for candidate quality, communication, and overall hiring experience.

At HITT, recruiting is highly relationship-driven and goes far beyond filling open positions. We expect our recruiters to bring market knowledge, proactive sourcing strategies, and thoughtful recommendations that help hiring leaders make stronger hiring decisions. The ideal candidate enjoys building relationships, is naturally curious about talent, and takes pride in uncovering exceptional candidates who may not be actively looking for a new opportunity. While prior construction recruiting experience is preferred, candidates with experience recruiting within similarly relationship-driven industries where proactive sourcing and consultative partnership are essential will also be successful.

This position is expected to work onsite four days per week. HITT was founded in 1937 and is one of the nation's top commercial construction companies with more than $13 billion in annual revenue and projects nationwide. HITT is consistently recognized as a Top Workplace across multiple regions and publications, reflecting our strong culture, people-first approach, and commitment to creating an environment where team members can grow and thrive.
