What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is proactive, commercially minded, and genuinely passionate about talent acquisition .

You should be comfortable picking up a difficult vacancy, understanding the technical requirement, identifying where the talent sits, approaching passive candidates, and building relationships that ultimately result in successful hires.

This role is particularly suited to someone who enjoys headhunting and market mapping rather than relying on applications , and who wants to build a long-term talent network within the North American mission-critical construction sector.

You will need to be comfortable working in a fast-paced, growth environment where priorities can change quickly as new programmes and project requirements emerge.

Why Join GagaMuller?

This is an opportunity to join GagaMuller at an important stage of its North American expansion.

You will play a direct role in helping build the teams responsible for delivering some of the largest and most complex data centre programmes in North America, while developing specialist expertise within one of the world's most competitive construction and infrastructure talent markets.

Rather than operating as a high-volume recruiter, you will have the opportunity to become a trusted Talent Acquisition Partner to the business , developing deep market knowledge, building long-term relationships, and directly influencing the growth of GagaMuller's North American delivery capability.
