Our approach
Recruiting for defense and military facilities
Projects may include operational facilities, secure buildings, infrastructure, renovations and new construction on controlled installations. We clarify work scope, access conditions, owner coordination and any project-specific restrictions before defining the search.
Our approach
Leadership for complex project delivery
We recruit Project Managers, Project Executives, Superintendents, Estimators, Project Engineers, Quality Managers, Safety Managers and Construction Executives. Candidate evaluation distinguishes relevant federal or defense work from adjacent commercial experience when the contract requires it.
Our approach
Direct outreach and verification of requirements
Recruiters approach candidates directly and qualify project background, contract or site experience, role ownership and interest. Security clearances, access approvals, training or other credentials are never assumed and are confirmed against the employer's stated requirements.
Our approach
Local and travel-based recruiting
We have a strong network in every market we cover. We can also reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% for assignments that allow and require broader geographic coverage.

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.
