Our approach
Development leadership from feasibility through delivery
Development teams may oversee site evaluation, entitlements, budgeting, design coordination, construction, and transition to operations. We clarify which phases and assets the role supports and how it works with consultants, contractors, lenders, and internal stakeholders.
Our approach
Recruit development and portfolio professionals
We recruit development managers, project executives, owner's representatives, construction managers, asset managers, and portfolio operations leaders. Candidate experience is evaluated against asset class, capital program, project scale, and the responsibilities the employer expects.
Our approach
Connect project execution to asset performance
We discuss how candidates manage budgets, schedules, due diligence, design and construction interfaces, leasing or operations coordination, and reporting. Searches can distinguish development execution from post-completion asset oversight and investment performance responsibilities.
Our approach
Direct outreach for local and mobile talent
We directly contact local development and asset professionals in the markets we cover, including those willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for portfolio and project assignments after location and travel requirements are confirmed.

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.
