Our approach

Recruiting for restaurant-specific construction

Restaurant work can involve kitchens, exhaust and ventilation, grease management, food-service equipment, dining areas, drive-throughs and front-of-house finishes. We learn which scopes the hire coordinates and whether work is ground-up, a conversion, a tenant fit-out or renovation of an operating location.

Our approach

Screening for schedule and trade coordination

We discuss comparable restaurant formats, kitchen equipment interfaces, MEP coordination, commissioning or turnover sequencing, and communication with operators and vendors. For rollouts, we assess how candidates handled repeated scopes across sites while accounting for local differences rather than treating each opening as identical.

Our approach

Direct search for construction talent

Our firm focuses on construction recruiting and headhunts professionals directly. We do not use job postings as the search strategy or send candidates whose experience is unrelated to the project. We qualify the person's work history, interest, location and expectations before making an introduction.

Our approach

Local-first and travel-ready hiring

We first look for qualified candidates in the employer's local market. For broader or traveling coverage, candidates may come from local professionals willing to travel 100% or nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. Relocation candidates should self-move, with minimal initial assistance discussed only as needed. Any candidate replacement guarantee is subject to the signed agreement.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What restaurant and QSR projects do you cover?

We recruit for ground-up restaurants, quick-service locations, fit-outs, conversions, renovations and multi-site programs. Each brief is specific to the employer's project and delivery responsibilities.

How do you qualify candidates for kitchen construction?

We ask about kitchen equipment and MEP interfaces, ventilation, vendor coordination, sequencing and prior restaurant formats, then compare the candidate's direct scope with the position.

Can your search support a restaurant rollout?

Yes. We clarify how the employer divides central program and local field responsibilities, then headhunt candidates with relevant repeat-site experience where needed.

What is your approach to relocation and the candidate replacement guarantee?

We search locally first. Relocation candidates should be prepared to self-move; any initial assistance is minimal and discussed individually. A candidate replacement guarantee applies only under the signed agreement.
