Our approach

People for vertical and integrated projects

High-rise and mixed-use work may combine residential, hotel, retail, parking and public-facing space within a constrained site. We ask how the team manages vertical logistics, structure, envelope, MEP coordination, phasing and handoffs among uses.

Our approach

Project, preconstruction and field roles

We recruit Project Executives, Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, General Superintendents and trade Superintendents. Candidate evaluation focuses on building height or complexity, project phase and personal ownership of relevant scopes.

Our approach

Qualification through direct candidate conversations

Recruiters make direct outreach to construction professionals and discuss their comparable building work, delivery method, team size, site conditions and scope responsibility. We verify that role requirements and candidate interest align before an introduction.

Our approach

Local talent with nationwide travel reach

Our candidate network spans the markets we cover. For project-based assignments, outreach may include local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%, after confirming travel terms.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What mixed-use and high-rise work do you recruit for?

We recruit for building teams delivering towers and integrated projects with multiple occupancies. We define the search by building scope, phase and team responsibilities.

How do you qualify high-rise candidates?

Direct candidate discussions cover comparable vertical construction, logistics, building systems interfaces, project phase and the candidate's own scope and decision responsibilities.

Can you recruit for local or traveling tower teams?

Yes. We can search our local candidate network and reach local candidates willing to travel 100% or nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

Do all mixed-use searches require the same experience?

No. We qualify candidates against the specific building uses, scope, delivery structure and employer requirements rather than treating all high-rise backgrounds as identical.

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.
