THE COMPANY

Our client is one of the nation’s largest privately held wholesale distributors serving the plumbing, HVAC, and industrial markets. With hundreds of locally managed branches across North America, the company blends the strength of a national organization with the entrepreneurial flexibility of local ownership. Each branch operates with independent decision-making authority, empowering employees to think like business owners and cultivate lasting customer relationships.

For over a century, their success has been built on hiring exceptional people and equipping them with the training, autonomy, and tools to lead. The Management Development Program (MDP) is the company’s cornerstone for developing future branch managers, and it is now being expanded across the East Division.

THE JOB

The Campus Recruiter will oversee university and early-career recruiting for the East Division, with a focus on North and South Carolina. This role is central to building the talent pipeline for the Management Development Program (MDP) and summer internship program—identifying, attracting, and hiring high-potential students who will become the company’s next generation of leaders.

You’ll manage a portfolio of target universities, organize and attend recruiting events, and collaborate closely with regional and branch leaders to align top talent with business needs. The recruiter will oversee every stage of the process—from campus relationship management and sourcing to interviewing, assessments, and offer coordination.

This is a highly visible, relationship-focused role requiring strong communication skills, travel during peak recruiting seasons, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities with independence and initiative.

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and implement a campus recruiting strategy across key universities in the Carolinas.
• Build strong relationships with faculty, career center staff, and student organizations.
• Represent the company at career fairs, information sessions, and classroom presentations.
• Manage full-cycle recruiting for MDP and internship candidates.
• Partner with regional and branch leaders to align talent with division needs.
• Track metrics, report on results, and continually refine the campus strategy.
• Promote the company’s people-first, entrepreneurial culture at every touchpoint.

THE QUALIFICATIONS

• 1–5 years of campus or early-career recruiting experience.
• Confident, engaging communicator who excels at presenting and networking.
• Proven ability to manage multiple schools, events, and pipelines simultaneously.
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through in a fast-paced setting.
• Experience with recruiting platforms such as Handshake, LinkedIn Recruiter, and ATS systems.
• Bachelor’s degree required; focus in business, marketing, HR, or communications preferred.
• Willingness to travel 25–35% during peak fall and spring recruiting seasons.
• Self-directed, adaptable, and comfortable working within a decentralized organization.

THE BENEFITS

• Base salary midpoint around $75K, plus $5–10K in bonuses.
• Annual profit-sharing distribution (prorated during the first year).
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) plan with company match.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Robust training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
• High visibility, autonomy, and career growth within a stable, people-driven organization.
