Our approach
Hiring for secure and operational environments
Justice and correctional projects may involve controlled access, phased work, secure circulation, occupied facilities and coordination with public owners. We learn what the opening requires around site procedures, project phasing and communication with facility representatives.
Our approach
Project and field roles for justice construction
We recruit Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents, Security Systems Coordinators, Quality Managers, Foremen and Project Executives. We match candidates to courthouse, detention or correctional scope instead of treating all institutional construction as interchangeable.
Our approach
Direct outreach and access qualification
Recruiters contact candidates directly to discuss relevant secure or institutional project history, scope ownership, stakeholder coordination and documentation. Any project access, background or training condition is confirmed with the employer and applicable authority.
Our approach
Local market and travel-ready talent
Our candidate network reaches every market we cover. We can also approach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% when project requirements support a broader search.

Relocation and travel
Relocation Placements
Over the last few years we've filled more and more positions with candidates willing to relocate on their own, or with minimal initial relocation help from the client. We always fill with local candidates when possible. But relocation placements are a specialty of ours, and we know how to make them work for clients who are committed to filling the position.
Placement protection
12-month replacement guarantee
On standard (non-reduced) fee agreements, every placement comes with a 3-month free candidate replacement guarantee. From months 4 to 12, we'll still replace the candidate at half off. That's a full year of coverage. We've never needed to use the extended guarantee.
Extended coverage applies to eligible placements billed and paid at the full standard fee under the signed client recruiting agreement.
Three-Month Free Replacement
If a placement billed and paid at the full standard fee separates for a qualifying reason within the first three months, Construction Headhunters will conduct one replacement search for the same or substantially similar position at no additional professional recruiting fee.
Months Four Through Twelve: Half-Fee Replacement
If the hire separates during months four through twelve, the client receives one replacement at half the standard professional fee. Applies only to original placements billed and paid at the full standard fee.
Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
