Our approach

Define the recovery and restoration work

Restoration businesses may provide emergency response, water or fire mitigation, contents work, environmental coordination, and reconstruction. We clarify which services the position supports and how responsibilities move from initial assessment through repair and closeout.

Our approach

Roles across response and rebuilding

We recruit restoration Project Managers, estimators, reconstruction superintendents, mitigation managers, field supervisors, and operations leaders. Outreach distinguishes emergency response coordination from construction management and ongoing account responsibilities.

Our approach

Screen for documentation and customer coordination

We discuss experience documenting conditions, planning safe access, coordinating specialty trades, managing schedules, communicating with property stakeholders, and tracking scope changes. The hiring brief identifies any required technical or regulatory experience without assuming credentials.

Our approach

Direct outreach for local and mobile talent

We directly contact local restoration professionals in the markets we cover, including candidates willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for mobile response or project assignments when the terms fit.

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.
