Director of Talent Acquisition
Ujamaa Construction 3.4
Director job in Chicago, IL
UJAMAA Construction + UJAMAA SE
20-25 hrs/week | Remote-friendly | Chicago/Midwest preferred
This is not a junior recruiter role.
This is a contract, part-time role intentionally designed for fractional leadership.
This is not HR generalist work.
And this is not agency churn.
This role is for someone already recruiting in construction / AEC who wants flexibility, autonomy, and real ownership-without stepping away from meaningful work.
Why this role exists
UJAMAA is a growing general contractor in the Mid-west and South-East region. Like many firms at our stage, we've relied too heavily on external recruiters.
We're bringing recruiting in-house to build a sustainable talent pipeline across UJAMAA and UJAMAA SE, with a focus on both experienced hires and early-career talent.
You'll own recruiting. Period.
What you'll do
Build and maintain pipelines for:
Project Managers
Superintendents
Project / Field Engineers
Admin roles
Develop college and early-career recruiting
Source, screen, and qualify candidates directly
Partner with executives to close candidates quickly
Build referral and alumni pipelines
Control when (and if) agencies are used
Track recruiting metrics: cost-per-hire, pipeline depth, agency reduction
This is a pipeline-building role, not reactive posting.
What this is NOT
You will not handle:
HR policy
Employee relations
Benefits, payroll, or compliance
Culture programs
This role is recruiting only.
Who this is for
You're a fit if you:
Recruit in construction / AEC
Know how to hire PMs and Supers without agencies
Build pipelines, not just fill reqs
Can push hiring managers to make decisions
Want flexibility without losing influence
Structure & comp
Part-time: 20-25 hrs/week
Remote-friendly
12-month contract (renewable)
$80-$95/hr + performance bonus tied to:
Reduced recruiter spend
Successful internal hires
Pipeline health
How success is measured
External recruiter usage
Cost-per-hire reduced 50-70%
Active candidate bench for priority roles
Early-career pipeline that converts and sticks
If you're tired of agency churn or bloated HR roles-and want recruiting treated like a business function-this role is worth a conversation.
Interested?
Send a brief note or resume explaining how you've built recruiting pipelines in construction and why this role fits where you are now.

Since founding, the company has executed both on an organic and M&A strategy to expand service offerings and drive revenue expansion opportunity through cross‑sell/up‑sell. Before partnering with New Harbor Capital in late 2022, Escalon completed two significant acquisitions which tripled the revenue of the company and expanded the FinOps capabilities of the platform. Continued corporate development is a key value driver for the business going forward, with a highly fragmented market of service providers, often individually unable to scale due to lack of technology‑enablement and offshore capabilities.
In late 2022, New Harbor Capital made a growth equity investment in Escalon Services.
