Our approach

Exterior scope and project conditions

Construction landscape work can include planting, irrigation, grading interfaces, site furnishings, paving, walls, and other hardscape. We establish the contractor's work mix and how the role coordinates with civil, utility, and building teams.

Our approach

Project, estimating, and field leadership

We recruit landscape Project Managers, estimators, Superintendents, irrigation managers, foremen, and operations leaders. Candidate experience is assessed against the relevant installation scope, including materials, crew size, subcontractors, and phased site turnover.

Our approach

Plan for installation, quality, and maintenance handoff

We ask how candidates manage site access, planting windows, irrigation testing, hardscape installation, protection, and punch work. Where the business also performs maintenance, we separate recurring service responsibilities from construction project delivery.

Our approach

Direct outreach and travel-ready networks

We conduct direct outreach to local landscape construction candidates in the markets we cover, including local professionals willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered where full-time travel is part of the role.

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.
