Our approach

Project and organizational leadership

A Project Executive may lead a major project or a group of project teams. Directors and VPs of Construction may carry wider responsibility for operations, people and delivery. We define the actual remit before we begin outreach.

Our approach

Search based on the leadership brief

We learn the portfolio, reporting structure, team needs, project mix and expectations for the hire. Our candidate network reflects the leadership roles and markets we cover, and we approach candidates whose experience fits the assignment.

Our approach

Relevant construction experience

We recruit leaders across ground-up commercial work and specialty markets such as structural steel, commercial roofing, hospitality and gaming, restaurant and retail programs, and utility or substation work. The search stays specific to the work and the organization.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a construction recruiter cost?

See our current recruiter-cost guide for published service options and rates. Fees are open to negotiation based on volume and exclusivity. The signed recruiting agreement defines the fee calculation, payment and any replacement terms.

How fast can you fill a superintendent or PM role?

We start headhunting right after aligning on the leadership role and typically share qualified candidates quickly. Timing varies with the scope, market, compensation, and decision process, so we do not promise a timeline.

Do you only charge if you place someone?

Yes, no fee is due unless we place a candidate you hire. The signed recruiting agreement governs the fee and search terms.

Do you recruit traveling superintendents and PMs?

Yes. We recruit traveling construction leaders, including Project Managers and Superintendents, and discuss the travel demands before introducing candidates.

Do you work with developers and owners, not just GCs?

Yes. We conduct searches for developers, owners and construction managers as well as general contractors. The leadership brief reflects the client's role in project delivery.

What regions do you cover?

We conduct searches in construction markets across the United States. The candidate mix depends on the leadership role, location and willingness to relocate or travel.

How it works

How we fill your job.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

01

Tell us who you need

We talk through the job, the projects, location, pay and why someone good would want it.

02

We find and speak with candidates

We call people with the right experience, including many who are not applying for jobs.

03

You meet the strongest matches

You get a short list with notes on each person. We set up interviews and share feedback.

04

We help you complete the hire

We help with the offer, counteroffers, notice and start date.

Relocation and travel

Location is part of the search.

We look locally first and discuss whether relocation or travel makes sense. A traveling superintendent's rotation, a PM's family move and a local commute are different decisions. We cover relocation help, per diem and timing before you meet anyone, not at the offer.

Placement protection

Candidate replacement guarantee

How long is the candidate replacement guarantee?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
