About Group CBS

Headquartered in Denton, Texas, Group CBS has affiliated companies throughout the U.S. and in the U.K., providing premier products and unparalleled services to the industrial, utility, and electrical distribution markets. Our companies specialize in circuit breakers, switchgear, power distribution equipment, and field service work – driven by quality, safety, and technical expertise.

We are currently seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter with a strong background in sourcing and hiring highly skilled, NETA-certified field technicians. We’re looking for someone who has personally closed tough-to-fill roles – someone who knows how to navigate complex candidate objections and convert passive interest into signed offers.” This position plays a critical role in helping us grow our technical field operations by proactively identifying and attracting top-tier talent across the country.

This isn’t a role for someone waiting for applicants to roll in. We’re seeking a recruiter who thrives in complexity, navigates ambiguity with confidence, and brings a “find a way” mindset to the table. If you’ve built talent pipelines in cold markets, negotiated tough closes, and know how to earn hiring manager trust – this role is built for you!

Position Summary

The Senior Technical Recruiter will be responsible for the full lifecycle recruitment of niche, skilled trade professionals across technical divisions. This individual must be a proactive problem solver and pragmatic partner to the business – someone who brings strong recruiting acumen, business sense, and the ability to operate with minimal direction.

Success in this role requires more than traditional recruiting tactics – our ideal candidate is a hunter, a closer, and a collaborator who understands how to find the talent others can’t, while maintaining trust and alignment with field leaders and operations stakeholders.
