There are two types of construction recruiters:

1. Construction corporate recruiters are in-house recruiters who work as an employee for a construction employer.

2. Independent construction recruiters or third-party construction recruiters work as independent agents outside of the construction employer (not an employee).

There are two types of third-party construction recruiters who charge different fees and perform different solutions to an employer's construction recruitement needs: retained construction recruiters and contingency construction recruiters.

Construction Recruiter responsibilities include:

Designing and implementing the overall construction recruiting strategy.
Sourcing and attracting construction resumes and candidates by using databases, social media, direct solicitation, networking, etc.
Conducting interviews and screening candidates for open positions.

A construction recruiter will also achieve hiring objectives by recruiting and evaluating job candidates; advising hiring managers; and assisting in the hiring process.

A construction recruiter may also participate in salary negotiations, background checking and referencing, and relocation of any hired talent.
