Executive Recruiter- Human Resources

• Job Tag:
• Posted: September 14,2026
• Salary: $65,000

SkyWater Search Partners is looking to add an experienced Executive Recruiter to our HR team.

Our Executive Recruiters run a full desk, owning both business development and candidate recruiting. That means building relationships with new clients, creating search opportunities, recruiting top talent, and developing a strong network within your market.

You’ll have SkyWater’s established brand, reputation, resources, and relationships behind you, but this isn’t a role where you’re simply handed a list of clients and open jobs. We’re looking for someone who is excited to develop new business, create opportunities, and take ownership of growing their desk.

What Sets Us Apart

• Unlimited Earning Potential: One of the most competitive compensation structures in the market, including uncapped commission. The more you build, the more you can earn.
• Technology & Marketing Tools: Every recruiter is equipped with AI tools, a LinkedIn Recruiter license, and a fully integrated Bullhorn ATS.
• Training & Mentorship: Hands-on training, a structured onboarding program, assigned mentors, monthly company-wide trainings, and an open-door policy for ongoing support.
• Referred Revenue Opportunities: Collaboration is core to our success. Earn commission on revenue you refer across the organization.
• Flexibility & Autonomy: A hybrid work model with coordinated in-office days, unlimited PTO, and a high-trust environment built around results rather than activity metrics.
• Culture: Authentic, collaborative, and fun. From quarterly events and happy hours to holiday parties and family events, we genuinely enjoy spending time together. We also give back through community initiatives including Feed My Starving Children, Adopt-a-Highway, and Smile Network.
