How it works.

  1. 01

  2. 02

  3. 03

    Pay only if you hire

    A fee is due only for a qualifying placement under the recruiting agreement.

Our approach

Hiring around active schools and campuses

School construction often has schedule and access constraints around academic calendars, student and staff circulation, athletics, summer work windows and campus operations. We distinguish occupied K-12 renovations from college residence, classroom, laboratory and campus infrastructure projects, and ask how candidates planned phasing for the actual setting.

Our approach

Project and field positions for education work

Our searches include Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents and Foremen. We assess relevant school or campus scope, occupied-site safety coordination, public procurement or owner interfaces where applicable, and the candidate's responsibility for schedule, trades and closeout.

Our approach

Local school markets and traveling teams

We begin with local education construction professionals and widen the search when the assignment requires it. Relocation candidates should be prepared to self-move, with minimal initial help discussed only if relevant. For traveling projects, we reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

Our approach

Direct headhunting with agreement-based terms

Our construction recruiters contact candidates directly rather than relying on job postings or forwarding loosely matched resumes. We qualify school type, project phase, site responsibilities and candidate interest before introduction. Any candidate replacement guarantee is subject to the signed recruiting agreement.

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.
