Our approach
Candidate searches for specialized facilities
Pharmaceutical, biotech and laboratory projects bring together building teams, technical scopes and facility stakeholders. We ask about a candidate's relevant project history and how they coordinated work across the teams involved, including controlled or operational environments when relevant.
Our approach
Roles for lab and life sciences projects
We recruit Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents and Foremen. We evaluate project experience and responsibilities against the facility and the opening rather than making assumptions from a title.
Our approach
A market network with traveling reach
We have a strong candidate network in every market we cover. For projects outside the local market, we can consider local professionals 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.
