Our approach
Searches for public and federal facilities
Federal and government work can include military, VA and GSA facilities as well as other public projects. We learn the employer's contract role, work environment and project requirements before approaching candidates, without assuming a credential requirement that has not been specified.
Our approach
Leadership for government construction teams
We recruit Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents, Foremen and senior construction leaders. Candidate evaluation considers comparable public or federal project work and the responsibilities they held.
Our approach
Local government networks and travel coverage
We have a strong candidate network in every market we cover, including professionals with government project backgrounds. For assignments that require travel, we source local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

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.
