Senior Strategic Recruiter

We are Chandos

Inclusion. Collaboration. Ingenuity. Innovation.

These values speak to our desire to create places where all people belong, listening and learning from one another in a way that sparks ideas and leads to positive changes in our industry and community. They also demonstrate our commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. And, if they resonate with you too, we should talk!

We are 100 percent employee owned and proud to be the first and largest B Corp certified commercial builder in North America, meaning we put our values at the centre of everything we do.

Continuous improvement is core to our success. Championing innovative and collaborative ways to build is just one example of that. Collaborative construction leads to more efficiency, cost savings, social value, and a much better working experience for everyone.

Every day, our teams are working to build places for people to live, work, learn, serve, and play. But above all, we’re building community. And, we’re looking for like-minded people to join us. Together, we can build a better world.

We're looking for a senior talent acquisition professional who is passionate about finding exceptional people and helping shape the future of our organization.

As our Senior Strategic Recruiter, you'll do far more than fill vacancies. You'll partner with business leaders to solve complex talent challenges, build strategic pipelines for critical roles, identify emerging workforce needs, and influence how we attract and hire top talent across the organization. From executive searches and specialized recruitment to employer branding, talent mapping, workforce planning, and recruitment technology, you'll play a key role in helping us secure the talent needed to drive long-term success.

This is an opportunity for a highly networked, forward-thinking recruitment professional who thrives on building relationships, uncovering hidden talent, and creating innovative recruitment strategies. You'll have the chance to shape recruitment best practices, elevate hiring capability across the organization, and champion our commitment to hiring only the best.
