This role plays a key part in supporting workforce growth across multiple locations, including our expanding operations in Idaho.
The successful candidate will work closely with hiring managers, operational leaders, the Recruiting Manager, and HR team to attract and hire top talent.

- Travel regularly to branch locations, jobsites, career fairs, colleges, trade schools, workforce centers, and community events.
- Develop and maintain candidate pipelines through networking, community outreach, employee referrals, workforce partnerships, and direct sourcing efforts.
- Support college recruiting initiatives and help build relationships with educational institutions, workforce development programs, and trade organizations.
- Build and maintain relationships with Hispanic community organizations and other local workforce partners to expand candidate outreach efforts.
- Represent Teufel Landscape as an employer of choice throughout Oregon and Idaho.
- Maintain accurate recruiting records, candidate communications, and recruiting activity within the applicant tracking system.
- Assist with onboarding coordination and ensure a positive candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
What We're Looking For
- Bilingual in English and Spanish required.
- Previous experience in recruiting, staffing, workforce development, community outreach, business development, sales, or a related field.
- Experience recruiting for construction, landscaping, skilled trades, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, logistics, or other field-based workforces strongly preferred.
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills.
- Ability to build trust and credibility with candidates, hiring managers, and community partners.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple searches and priorities simultaneously.
- Self-motivated and capable of working independently while maintaining close communication with recruiting leadership.
- Comfortable working in both office and field environments.
- Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
- Ability to successfully pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check.
- Ability and willingness to travel up to 40% throughout Oregon and Idaho, including overnight travel as business needs require.
This Role May Be a Great Fit If You Enjoy

- Partnering directly with operational leaders to solve workforce challenges.
- Recruiting for hands-on, field-based careers that help build and maintain communities.
