JOB SUMMARY
The CONTRACTOR RECRUITER will grow and maintain AirConnect’s nationwide network of HVAC service contractors. This role contacts HVAC companies across the country, recruits them to perform service work for AirConnect clients, and completes full vendor onboarding – collecting compliance documents, setting up payment, and entering each contractor into Salesforce so they are ready to receive work orders.

- VERIFY contractor information, including legal business name, tax ID, insurance coverage and expiration dates, and that HVAC licenses are active and valid in the states where the contractor will work.
- ENTER new contractors into Salesforce, including company details, service area, trades and capabilities, labor and trip rates, and dispatch, office, and billing contacts.
- SET UP payment terms and ACH banking information in coordination with Accounting so contractors are paid accurately and on time.
- TRACK document expiration dates and follow up with contractors to keep COIs, HVAC licenses, W-9s, and agreements current so every active contractor remains compliant.
- MAINTAIN accurate onboarding status and records for every contractor, from first contact through activation.
- PARTNER with Customer Service and dispatch to fill coverage gaps, respond to urgent sourcing needs, and confirm newly onboarded contractors are ready to accept work.
